Bollywood star Kartik Aaryan's recent film, 'Tu Meri Main Tera', has performed poorly at the box office, adding to a string of flops since his success with the 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa' franchise. As response to this downturn, social media has seen an increase in criticism of Aaryan's acting skills. In a recent podcast, actor Prashant Narayanan, known for films like 'Murder 2', did not hold back in his critique of Aaryan, labeling him as one of the worst actors in the industry who only survives due to luck and family support.

During the podcast, Narayanan expressed his disappointment with Aaryan's performances, suggesting that his current state is more a result of fortuitous circumstances rather than talent. He stated that Aaryan is undeserving of his place in Bollywood and pointed out that only the backing of his parents is keeping him relevant in a competitive industry. This revelation feeds into the ongoing conversation regarding the quality of acting and the standards that are currently present in Bollywood.

Narayanan's remarks reflect a broader sentiment among critics and fans who feel that many actors are not meeting the expectations of audiences, especially after lockdowns reshaped the film industry. As Bollywood continues to evolve and face pressure from digital platforms, the scrutiny of individual actors like Aaryan becomes more pronounced, potentially influencing public and professional perceptions about talent in Indian cinema.
