Kartik Aaryan Soaks in Adulation, But Who’s Stealing the Show?

So, our boy Kartik Aaryan is basking in the glory of his role as India’s first Paralympics gold medallist, Murlikant Petkar, in Chandu Champion. But, hold your applause for just a second! There’s another star in the making who’s quietly grabbing eyeballs and hearts. Enter Aniruddh Dave, the TV hottie who’s playing Petkar’s brother, Jagannath Rajaram Petkar. 🎬✨

Who’s This Guy Anyway?

Chandu Champion hit the theaters on June 14, 2024, and it’s been raking in the moolah ever since. While Kartik is, of course, the headliner, Aniruddh Dave is making a solid impression.

For those living under a rock, Dave has been a TV darling for ages. Remember those shows like Woh Rehne Waali Mehlon Ki, Phulwa, and Patiala Babes? Yup, that’s him! He even dipped his toes in Bollywood before, but let’s just say the waters weren’t warm enough. Until now. 🌊

The Struggle is Real

Here’s the tea: Aniruddh always dreamt of acting, but getting into the prestigious National School of Drama in Delhi? Total fail. Did that stop him? Of course not! This guy packed his bags and headed to Mumbai, auditioning left, right, and center. Fun fact: he worked in bars to make ends meet before landing his first TV gig in Raajkumar Aaryyann in 2008. 🍸🎭

Now, let’s talk about the elephant in the room: COVID-19. The poor guy was down and out, spending 57 days in the hospital. Just when he thought it was game over, he pulled a phoenix move and rose from the ashes. Post-recovery, he hit those auditions hard and finally snagged a role in Chandu Champion. Talk about resilience! 🦸‍♂️💪

From TV to Bollywood: The Transition

Aniruddh’s journey from television to the big screen has been a rollercoaster. He’s got films like Kaagaz 2, Bell Bottom, and Pranaam under his belt. But let’s be real, Chandu Champion is where he’s truly shining. 🌟

Nisha’s Nutshell

Alright, folks, here’s the moral of the story: In Bollywood, it’s not just about the big stars; sometimes, the underdogs steal the spotlight. And if at first, you don’t succeed, well, become a TV star, battle a life-threatening disease, and then make a smashing comeback!

Stay tuned for more juicy tidbits and scandalous scoops. Until next time, keep your popcorn ready and your gossip radar on high alert! 🍿👀
