Kartik Aaryan introduces Arjun Pathak from Dhamaka

Taking to his Instagram on November 10, the 30-year-old actor shared a video to introduce Arjun Pathak, a journalist, and host of TRTV Bharosa 24/7. Befitting his role, the theme of the introductory clip showed a newsroom step where the actor earnestly delivered a thought-provoking speech in a bid to give an idea of Arjun Pathak's ambitious character. Aaryan delivered the monologue in Hindi which translates to, ''You must be wondering who's this man on the TV wearing a suit. What a job man! All the time in control, all the time in the spotlight. He must have many fans. Very successful. But did you ever wonder how much he had to lose in order to achieve success?''

He also attempted to poise a question about people's ideals concerning success by saying, ''In fact, what are you willing to lose to be successful? Would you lose your character for power? Lose love for money? Break someone's trust for success? How low can you go to reach the top?  How much are you willing to lose to have something?'' Lastly, the actor urged the netizens to meet Arjun Pathak on November 19 to have an answer to these questions by saying, ''To know this, get ready to meet Arjun Pathak.''
