Karthik credits his years of hard work for where he is today. He says, “I remember the early days where I used to audition earlier. Pyaar Ka Punchnama happened. Those days were tough, but I never lost hope. I never let anything hinder my confidence and my faith in me. With disapproval, I used to feel that it is their (filmmakers) fault and they are missing something and not me. Well, that has been my attitude, now call it confidence or overconfidence. I’m just like that. I am quite confident, be it my success or my failure.”
He adds, “It took a lot of effort to establish your feet. At that time I was trying to establish my feet and wanted to get into the industry somehow. Now finally when I look back, it seems that I have reached somewhere and that too on the strength of my ability and hard work. It feels really good. It was not an easy journey but was definitely worth it. I have seen my ups and downs. I have learned a lot from my journey. Maybe it’s because of my failures that I’ve dealt with, so I tend to value this situation more. It certainly wasn’t easy for me.”
