Kartik Aaryan misses home on Diwali while shooting in London, shares emotional post

Diwali brings to mind home, family, friends and the joy of celebrating together. But because of work, actors often have to stay away from their loved ones even at festival time. Actor Kartik Aaryan is going through exactly that this year. He is in London these days to shoot his upcoming film, and has had to celebrate this year's Diwali away from his family.

What comes to mind on Diwali? Lamps burning at home, the aroma of festive dishes, gujiya made by mother, firecrackers with father and fun with friends. Now imagine having to spend the same festival alone, far from home, in a foreign country. That is what has happened to Kartik Aaryan this time.

Kartik is in London, where his new film is being shot. For this reason he had to spend Diwali alone, away from home. On the occasion, he shared a photograph of himself on social media and wished his fans a happy Diwali. But it was his caption that drew the most attention from fans.

Beneath the photograph, Kartik wrote just one line: "Happy Diwali. Missing everyone at home a lot." That was all. But that single line said everything on his mind. With this short post he showed how much one misses one's own people when away from home during a festival. Despite being a big star, he is human too, and on festival days he also misses home, his mother, his father and his sister.

Fans showered him with love on seeing the photograph. One wrote, "We are your family", while another said, "Come home soon." Many people were reminded of their own situation by his post, because many are away from home on Diwali for jobs and work. For this reason, Kartik's feeling struck a chord with many.

Kartik is currently busy in London shooting his upcoming film Captain India. The film is set to be a very big one in his career. The shooting schedule is also quite tight, so he could not take a Diwali break and come home. Work has to be done. From the outside, an actor's life looks very glamorous, with money, fame and fans, but being away from home on a festival day is just as hard for them. People celebrate Diwali at home, and he did so by lighting lamps on the set.

Kartik sent his Diwali wishes from London, but the longing for home behind those wishes was clear. Fans are now waiting for his film Captain India.
