Recounting a recent incident, the actor told Film Companion that he wanted to buy a car on her birthday, but mummy refused, saying that there is no money. She said maybe next year or sometime later, but, ‘Abhi nahi le sakte’ (Can’t buy it now).
Despite the box office success of his recent films, including Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and Satyaprem Ki Katha, Kartik is not in control of his own financial matters.
KartikAaryan further explained that he has no means of independently verifying the financial details because, as he expressed that he doesn’t even know where to check , he doesn’t know “kaunsa account hai” (which account it is).
Kartik Aaryan STRONGLY reacts to Sara Ali Khan discussing their breakup on Karan Johar’s show: ‘I think you should respect that time.. and yourself also’
This lack of knowledge about his financial status sometimes frustrates Kartik. He admitted, sometimes he get angry also and asks his mother, “ki aap kisi bhi cheez mein allow nahi karte ho” (You don’t allow me to buy anything). It extends beyond significant purchases like a car to even smaller expenses like restaurant bills. He shared an example, saying that if his bill is too high, she would call and ask, ‘Itna khaana kaise khaaya jab diet pe ho’” (How did you eat so much despite being on a diet)?
Kartik expressed pride in his mother for prioritizing his financial management. She has made the sacrifice of leaving her medical practice to handle his finances, ensuring he doesn’t “misuse it”.
Kartik Aaryan shared that his mother’s intention behind managing his finances is to prevent him from getting spoiled. According to him, she believes that he has the potential to go astray and is accustomed to the idea from his earlier life where he spent more than he earned. Kartik humorously added that she has decided “isko pocket money mein hi rakho, usme sudhra rahega” (Keep him on an allowance, and he will stay grounded).
