Growing up in Gwalior, we were in debt, as my parents had loans. It was not that we were poor, but we were not rich, in such a situation, we had more debt than income.

I used to survive by asking money from friends

Karthik Aaryan, while talking about asking for money from his friends, said, "When I came to Mumbai, I had taken an education loan. It has been a life of loans, a life of borrowing among friends. For a long time, I became accustomed to borrowing money from friends and telling them that I will return it in a few days. When I came to Mumbai, I knew that I had to earn. I was tired of borrowing money, traveling by train."
