Through this role, Kartik brought glory to Maharashtra by bringing to life the inspiring journey of the state’s unsung hero—the first Indian Paralympic gold medalist.

Kartik Aaryan on being honoured with Maharashtrian of the Year 2025 award

Upon receiving the award, Kartik expressed his gratitude, saying, “I am truly honored to receive the Maharashtrian of the Year 2025 award. This is a proud moment for me and my family. While I hail from Gwalior, Mumbai has been my karmabhoomi—this city has given me my name, fame, home, and everything I have today. Since childhood, my dream was to become an actor and come to Mumbai, and that decision became the turning point of my life."

He continued, "As the Bhagavad Gita says, one should focus on their work without worrying about the results. Awards like the Lokmat Maharashtrian of the Year are a testament to that belief, and I will continue to dedicate myself to my craft.”
