Kartik Aaryan replied to an Instagran user’s sarcastic post asking ‘someone to explain Kartik Aaryan to me.’

Kartik Aaryan had a humble but hard reply for a sarcastic post on an Instagram page. The actor’s fans cheered for him and his reply.

Kartik Aaryan was last seen in Love Aaj Kal.

Instagram user Freddy Birdy shared a post on Friday which read, “Someone explain Kartik Aaryan to me please.” Several of the actor’s fans wrote positive descriptions for him. “A breath of fresh in nepotism filled Bollywood...an actor who hadn’t got the opportunity of choosing his movies like other nepo kids...but still now much ahead of them through hardwork...and overall a good human being...always kind to others....has no ego....And can keep others ahead of himself,” wrote one. “He is a nice guy whom everyone wants to be around,” wrote another.

But it was Kartik’s own reply that grabbed attention. “Just another guy following his dream, trying to make it big, working hard, getting better everyday. But it’s clearly not the best way to go, right ?,” he wrote. While many liked Kartik’s reply, others were still not impressed.

“From one super sexist film to a relatively lesser sexist film. Getting better everyday, eh,” read a comment on Kartik’s reply.

When you first dream of being in films, you act in front of the mirror and nail it every time, and the world of movies seems magical. Then you get a movie. You see the camera and are unnerved. It’s bigger than the suitcase you brought to Mumbai. The bright lights seem to be scolding you for not landing on a one inch tape mark and wasting everyones time. The first few years become about trying not to look nervous. Then you get an Imtiaz Ali movie. The moment he narrates the story, you are pulled into a dream. I don’t even remember seeing the camera on his set, he‘d always be standing wherever I looked after cut. He was never at the monitor, he was by my side. The lights on Imtiaz Ali’s set help you find those tape marks. I have never experienced the kind of love and appreciation I have got for my performance in Love Aaj Kal, and that too from some of my favourite filmmakers and people I most respect in the industry. How ironic that the making of this film felt most effortless! It would scare me to think of doing two characters in one movie. And here, I didn’t even realise how smoothly I was being transitioned between #Veer and #Raghu . For an actor, there is no better environment than being In front of that mirror. Imtiaz Ali takes you there. This is the reason why so many great actors’ greatest performances have been in Imtiaz Ali films. Imtiaz Ali director nahi hain, jadugar hain! Thank you sir for giving me the best performance of my career yet. ❤️ @imtiazaliofficial #LoveAajKal
