Kartik Aaryan reveals why Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar inspire him

Bollywood megastars Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar are an inspiration not only to their fans but, also to those who are new to the film industry and wish to thrive. 

They were outsiders, with no acting background but soared through the skies by working hard. Kartik Arayan is another underdog who made it to the top in Bollywood, and it is not surprising at all that he is inspired by the two.

The actor won fans over after his humorous role in the romantic-comedy, Pyaar Ka Punchnama and since then there has been no looking back.

During an interview with Filmfare the star shared his thoughts about why he admires SRK and Akshay: “Shah Rukh sir and Akshay sir are outsiders, who made it. They came from nowhere and made a mark in Hindi cinema." 

"Today, they’re superstars. I feel an attachment towards them. In fact, the first day I came to Mumbai, I visited Band Stand in Bandra where Shah Rukh sir stays. It was a Sunday and fans had gathered outside to see him. Luckily, he drove out in his car and waved out to them. For a brief second meri nazar unse mili." 

"I was happy that he noticed me in the crowd. That’s a memorable day for me,” he further said.
