Remember that swanky McLaren that producer Bhushan Kumar gifted to Kartik Aaryan post the success of ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’? Kartik recently shared that he had to spend lakhs of rupees to repair the car after rats chewed its mat. Even after receiving such an amazing and grand gift, Kartik couldn’t enjoy it because of a funny yet genuine reason. In an interview, the actor shared that rats chewed the mat of the car, which cost him a lot of money. In an interview with The Lallantop, he said, “I drive my other car. I have hardly driven the McLaren. It was in the garage for a long time, so rats chewed the mat, which cost me a lot. I had to pay lakhs of rupees to fix the mat.”
Earlier, when Kartik Aaryan received this big surprise from ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’ producer Bhushan Kumar, he took to Instagram to share a picture and thank him for the gesture. Kartik wrote, “Chinese khaane ke liye nayi table gift mil gayi Mehnat ka phal meetha hota hai suna tha… Itna bada hoga nahi pata tha India’s 1st McLaren GT Agla gift Private jet sir #Gratitude – @prathameshb84 @tejas.kudtarkar @bombaytimes.”
The gift, which was a symbol of success and reward for his hard work, somewhat backfired due to an unexpected problem. But this incident also brings light to the genius of nature in its own quirky way. Rats, which usually remain hidden in the corners of our surroundings, found a way to cause damage to a luxury car like a McLaren. While it seems almost humorous, the financial impact it has caused is no laughing matter.
Earlier, while talking about Aaryan, Kumar had shared, “The dynamic, vivacious energy of Kartik Aaryan is infectious. We align creatively well, and the bond that started on a very professional note has definitely grown multifold in the multiple collaborations we’ve done. His dedication towards each project is commendable. This sports car is a token of appreciation for his hard work and grit. We instill confidence in him, and we aim to strengthen this collaboration in the future.”
‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2,’ starring Kartik Aaryan, Tabu, Kiara Advani, and Rajpal Yadav, premiered on Netflix on June 19, further adding to Aaryan’s list of achievements.
. Despite the unforeseen vehicle trouble, the actor’s career trajectory continues upward.
Kartik on the Work Front
Kartik Aaryan is gearing up for the release of his biographical drama ‘Chandu Champion.’ The actor will portray Paralympic gold medalist Murlikant Petkar in the film. ‘Chandu Champion’ is jointly produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and Kabir Khan. The film, directed by Kabir Khan of ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ fame, is set to arrive in theatres on June 14.
The grand gesture of receiving a McLaren GT, one of the rarest and most expensive cars in the world, was indeed a huge surprise for the actor. Kartik Aaryan has amassed a lot of fame and recognition since his debut, and the McLaren GT gift only crowned his success further. However, the incident of the rats damaging the car shed light on an unforeseen practical issue.
Kartik Aaryan also shared his sentiments regarding the car and the unexpected repair bills during the interview with The Lallantop. His light-hearted take on the situation brought a sense of relatability and humility that is not often seen with movie stars. Despite the superficial glitz and glamor of owning such a fabulous car, Aaryan’s situation revealed the practical challenges and inconveniences.
Moreover, the incident highlights a genuinely odd occurrence: luxury meeting nature head-on. The fine line between wealth and the uncontrollable aspects of nature sometimes comes closer than expected. Even for someone like Kartik Aaryan, owning a luxurious car doesn’t make one immune to quotidian problems.
This mishap doesn’t overshadow Kartik’s successes, though. His upcoming project ‘Chandu Champion’ holds great promise. The film is a significant undertaking, portraying the life and struggles of a Paralympic hero. Kartik’s involvement in such a meaningful project indicates his versatility and commitment to diverse roles.
On another note, Bhushan Kumar’s words about Kartik’s infectious energy and dedication to his craft resonate well with the actor’s current standing in Bollywood. The camaraderie and professional bond between the two have evidently grown stronger with their past collaborations.
As we look forward to more successful ventures from Kartik Aaryan, the McLaren incident will remain a curious and amusing chapter in his life’s story. Despite such setbacks, Aaryan’s career is undoubtedly on an upward trajectory, with many more milestones to achieve. And hopefully, this time, without any unexpected disruptions from tiny intruders.
