Kartik Aaryan's journey in Bollywood is a testament to perseverance—an outsider who overcame the odds to become one of the biggest stars in the industry today. For his outstanding contributions to acting, Kartik Aaryan was honored with the Lokmat Maharashtrian of the Year award at the 11th edition of the prestigious ceremony held at Raj Bhavan.
After receiving the award, Kartik Aaryan shared, "Receiving this award is a matter of great pride for me and my family. I am from Gwalior, my birthplace, but Mumbai is where I work and have achieved success. The love I’ve received here has been overwhelming. Mumbai is the heart of cinema, and reaching here was my dream. Coming here was a turning point in my life. As mentioned in the Gita, I don’t focus on the fruits of my labor; I simply keep doing my work. If receiving such a prestigious Maharashtrian award is the fruit, I will continue to work hard."
Last year, Kartik Aaryan had two successful film releases: Chandu Champion and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. While both films performed well, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 made a massive impact at the box office. He is also gearing up for his upcoming film Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri with Sameer Vidwans, which promises to be another blockbuster. The Lokmat Maharashtrian of the Year awards is one of the most prestigious ceremonies in Maharashtra, honoring individuals who have made significant contributions in various fields, including public service, agriculture, education, sports, administration, medicine, industry, and startups.
