Difficult to make people laugh than cry: Kartik Aaryan

Actor Kartik Aaryan, who is busy shooting for his upcoming film "Atithii Iin London", says he finds it difficult to make people laugh than make them cry.

The actor has tickled the funny bone of many with his performance as Rajjo from Luv Ranjan's "Pyaar Ka Punchnama", "Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2" and is gearing up for his next comedy film "Atithii Iin London", which stars Kriti Kharbanda.

Asked if he wants to stick to the comedy genre, Kartik told IANS: "It's not that I am sticking to a specific genre such as comedy. It's the script that I am believing in, be it 'Pyaar Ka Punchnama' or 'Atithii Iin London', basically the relatability factor. Also on the contrary, I find it more difficult to make people laugh than to make them cry."

The actor, who turned 26 on Tuesday, says the audience is now looking beyond looks for an actor.

"And I believe in my performance more than my looks in 'Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2'... it was the break-up scene that struck a chord with the audience. So, I have no doubt about the acceptance of a good performance," Kartik said.

Talking about his role in "Atithii Iin London", the actor said: "I am a young techie living happily in London...My life is disrupted and everything goes for a toss once Pareshji (Paresh Rawal) enters my life as an uninvited guest."
