Kartik opened up about his journey in Bollywood when he appeared on Karan Johar's chat show 'Koffee with Karana', which is aired on Star World, read a statement.

When Karan further asked if his parents approved of his career decision, he said: "Mummy, Papa didn't want me to become an actor." Looking back, he said: "I would get rejected every day. Every day they would tell me I'm not fit." Known for 'Pyaar Ka Punchnama' and 'Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety', he will soon be seen in 'Luka Chuppi'.
