Kartik Aaryan Birthday: From Gwalior boy to Bollywood superstar with a remarkable rise

Kartik Aaryan, born on November 22, 1990, in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, rose from a middle-class background with doctor parents to become a Bollywood superstar, known for his hard work and humble demeanor

Despite being shy and introverted during his school days, Kartik pursued his dream of acting, moving to Mumbai under the guise of studying engineering while secretly attending auditions

He faced significant challenges, including having no industry connections and balancing college with auditions, often facing rejections before landing a breakthrough role in the film "Pyaar Ka Punchnama" in 2011

Kartik's viral monologue in "Pyaar Ka Punchnama" catapulted him to fame, earning him the title "Monologue King," but his journey was filled with further struggles as he navigated small roles and limited-budget films

His stardom soared with the release of "Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety" in 2018, which crossed Rs 100 crore, establishing him as a leading star and opening doors to brand endorsements and significant roles

Kartik showcased his versatility in films like "Love Aaj Kal 2," "Dhamaka," and "Freddy," proving himself as a serious actor beyond comedy

The 2022 release of "Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2" became the biggest hit of his career, grossing over ₹186 crore, solidifying his popularity among fans as the beloved "Rooh Baba"
