Kartik
Aaryan

has
added
yet
another
feather
in
his
cap.

He
is
now
an
‘engineer’.

Kartik
explains
on
Instagram:
‘From
sitting
in
the
backbench
to
standing
on
the
stage
for
my
convocation

what
a
journey
it’s
been.’

The

Bhool
Bhulaiyaa

actor,
who
hails
from
Gwalior,
had
come
to
Mumbai
a
decade
ago
to
pursue
an
engineering
degree
from
the
D
Y
Patil
College
in
Nerul,
Navi
Mumbai.

In
an
earlier
interview,
Kartik
had
stated
that
he
was
forced
to
study
engineering
in
Mumbai,
as
that
was
the
only
way
his
family
would
allow
him
to
make
the
trip
to
the
city,
where
he
wanted
to
become
an
actor.

‘I
hail
from
a
family
of
doctors
and
there
was
no
way
I
could
become
an
actor.
So
I
gave
this
excuse
to
become
an
engineer
in
Mumbai
and
simultaneously
tried
my
luck
in
acting,’
Kartik
had
said
in
the
interview.

Luckily,
Kartik
found
success
with
his
2011
film,

Pyaar
Ka
Punchnama
.

Recalling
his
days
at
the
D
Y
Patil
college,
Kartik
writes,
‘You
gave
me
memories,
dreams
and
now
my
degree
(only
took
over
a
decade!)

‘Thank
you,
Vijay
Patil
Sir,
my
incredible
teachers,
and
the
young
dreamers
here
for
all
the
love.
This
feels
like
coming
home.’

Kartik
later
made
the
students
at
the
D
Y
Patil
college
join
him
and
dance
to
his
latest
hit
film,

Bhool
Bhulaiyaa
