Kartik Aaryan Says He Buys Cars 'To Cope with Frustration': 'A New Range Rover, A McLaren, The Urus...'

Kartik Aaryan has an impressive collection of luxury cars. Kartik has owned a range of swanky cars including a McLaren GT, a Lamborghini Urus Capsule, and a Range Rover SV. Bhushan Kumar gifted Kartik a McLaren GT supercar after the success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 in 2022. In a recent chat, the actor expressed that buys these luxury rides because of past frustrations of not being able to afford them before.

“Many years ago, when I didn’t have any vehicle, I had bought a third-hand car. I got it for Rs 30,000 – Rs 35,000,” Kartik told Bollywood Hungama. When asked about his first luxury car, he said, “Seedha Lamborghini, before that I used to only buy third-hand, second-hand cars as that’s what I could afford.” “I have a new Range Rover. I have a McLaren, the Urus. I have a Mini Cooper, yes. Then I have one more car,” he added.

The actor recalled, “There was a point in my life, maybe this also came from there, I couldn’t afford cars. I couldn’t afford to buy myself any vehicle. I was so furious about it that I had decided that I’ll buy all my dream cars and fill up a garage with cars. So I never feel there is a shortage of cars.”

He mentioned, “I think, at times, I buy cars to cope with the frustration, I don’t even realise it… I don’t know what all cars I’ll buy in the future because I have run out of parking space.”

Earlier this year, the actor appeared on Kapil Sharma’s show and recalled his struggling days. He mentioned how he used to attend award shows in autos till he bought a third-hand car. However, the car proved to be bothersome as it would leak during monsoons and the driver’s side door wouldn’t open.

“There are these red carpet events and award shows, so I used to travel by auto for them. Somehow, I managed to buy this third-hand car. But this car started to bother me more because the door of the driver’s seat would not open,” Kartik said.

He added, “So, when I used to reach the event, I would have to stop the valet from opening the driver’s door, else it would break open. Then I would jump to the other side in my coat and come out and instruct the valet to go from the passenger’s side to the driver’s seat and park the car.” “Whenever it rained, there used to be seepage in the car. I had to dodge the raindrops while driving. It was a unique problem,” Kartik added.

Now, Kartik has made it big in Bollywood and has his own luxury fleet.
