After being turned down for over four years, Kartik Aaryan finally landed his first part. Kartik became an overnight success after his first movie, Pyaar Ka Punchanama, became a sleeper smash.Kartik Aaryan, a Bollywood actor, was present at the most recent SCREEN Live event in Mumbai on Thursday. Kartik, who is currently enjoying the success of his 2024 film Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, claimed during the event that he had to endure almost four years of rejection before landing his first role in Pyaar Ka Punchnama, which instantly made him famous."I have encountered innumerable rejections," he stated. I used to do auditions every day. I was one of the many people who came here with the same goal of becoming an actor. I wanted to attempt it even though I had no idea what my options were.

I got my first gig almost four years later. I am appreciative of the chance.He made the crowd laugh when he responded, "Aadat hogayi thi, besharam hogaya tha (I had become shameless)," when asked what kept him continuing in spite of all the rejections. "Every day I used to hear this role is not suitable for you," Kartik continued. You get numb after a while, but you have to be there every day. Self-belief is crucial, particularly when no one believes in your vision. I used to believe that there was nothing to lose by going. I felt overconfident and believed that their rejection was their fault. It's critical to work hard and have confidence in oneself. They complement each other. Like you, I was once a believer in manifestation. I used to write about it.
