During a 2023 interview with Film Companion, the actor had also said that he doesn’t know how much money he has in his bank account.
Kartik Aaryan shared insights into his financial management, revealing, “My mother handles my money. I don’t know how much money there is in my account or if there is any money or not… I wanted to buy a car on my birthday, but mummy refused, saying that there is no money. She said maybe next year or sometime later, but, ‘Abhi nahi le sakte (You cannot buy right now)’. I have no option but to believe what my mother tells me, because I don’t even know where to check how much money I have, I don’t know kaunsa (which) account hai (it is).”
Kartik, who will be soon seen in the film Chandu Champion, and also has Aashiqui 3 in his kitty, further elaborated on his financial dynamics, stating, “She just doesn’t want me to get spoilt. She thinks I can still get spoilt. I have lived my life where I spent more than my earnings. So, I think she is used to that idea and she doesn’t like it. She has decided isko pocket money mein hi rakho, usme sudhra rahega (She gives me pocket money to keep me in check).”
Reacting to a video from his Film Companion interview, an Instagram user had commented in 2023, “Another day of Indian men refusing to grow up!” Another user wrote, “His wife will have a lot of issues with the mother.” A comment also read, “Good luck to his wife.” These responses echoed the sentiment of many on social media who found Kartik’s financial setup unusual and raised questions about his independence.
