The image of a conniving Kartik Aaryan badmouthing a woman in his recent hit Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety is far removed from the first one I have of him – a gharelu boy fetching his mother breakfast at a Dubai hotel, where we were attending an awards gala together. While other actors had a horde of women for company, Aaryan walked hand-in-hand with his mommy, proudly planning a day in the desert city and at malls with his ‘date’.
I knew then that Aaryan has a mind of his own. Even though then trying to establish himself among the A-league, he cared little of what the world thought of him. Just about as much as he did when they constantly rebutted him for signing on similar roles ever since he debuted with Pyaar Ka Punchnama (2011).
“Have you ever considered that maybe, I want to be repetitive? Maybe, I have a different agenda?” In the midst of celebrating the success of his latest release, Aaryan opens up on the ‘plan’ behind stereotyping himself, and defends the derogatory tone used against women in Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety.
