Prashant Narayanan Labels Kartik Aaryan Among Worst Actors, Credits Luck Over Talent

Actor Prashant Narayanan has stirred controversy after sharply criticizing fellow actor Kartik Aaryan, calling him “one of the most terrible actors” in the industry. The remarks surfaced during a recent interaction focused on contemporary Bollywood performers. The comments quickly gained traction online and triggered strong reactions from fans. Many viewers debated the fairness of the assessment across social media platforms. The episode has once again placed Kartik’s acting credentials under the spotlight.

Prashant, known for his intense performances in films such as Murder 2 and Ghost, made the remarks in a conversation with Bollywood Bubble. During the discussion, he was asked to share his views on present-day actors. His response regarding Kartik was notably blunt and unfiltered. Clips from the interview began circulating widely soon after. The exchange has since become a talking point in entertainment circles.

“I think he is one of the most terrible actors we have over here, but an extremely lucky person,” Prashant said. He further claimed that Kartik is “surviving because of his parents’ blessings.” The actor also described him as “extremely non-communicative and boosted by people around him.” His strong wording intensified the debate among industry observers. Supporters and critics alike weighed in on the remarks.

Despite the harsh criticism, Prashant acknowledged that he appreciated Kartik’s performance in his debut film, Pyaar Ka Punchnama. This partial praise added nuance to his otherwise critical assessment. Fans of Kartik pointed to his subsequent box-office successes in defending him. Many argued that the actor has evolved significantly since his debut. The discussion has remained active across digital platforms.

Kartik, who most recently starred in Chandu Champion, has not publicly responded to the criticism so far. Industry watchers note that such outspoken peer opinions often revive debates about talent versus commercial appeal. The controversy highlights the divided perceptions surrounding Kartik’s performances. Even so, he continues to remain one of Bollywood’s most visible leading men. The situation is being closely followed within the film fraternity.
