His first hit film as a solo hero was Aashiqui 2directed by Mohit Suri. The film, which had newcomers likeAditya and Shraddha Kapoor in the lead roles, reportedlyearned Rs 100 crore at the box office.

Another hit film was Ranbir Kapoor-Deepika Padukonestarrer Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, in which he was seen in asupporting role. This Karan Johar-produced film grossed Rs 189crore at the box office.

"There is certain kind of expectation from me, so in thatsense there is pressure. But I don't think about all this. Idon't think about how much business my films will make.

"Aashiqui 2 and Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani were hit films, especiallythe former film in which I was the protagonist. So somewherethere is something for me to lose. There is some kind ofpressure and that I have something to lose now (stardom),"Aditya, 28, told PTI in an interview here.

"I am getting more recognition from people. Things havedefinitely changed after the success of these two films. Idon't know if all this means that I am a star."

Aditya is now receiving lots of offers, but he says hewill take his own time before accepting a project.

"I have always been choosy and will continue it that way.I want to take time to do films. My focus is to make rightdecisions and do quality work," he said.

All Aditya hopes for is that his films do well at the boxoffice.

"It is important to be commercially viable and successful.Actors should have a successful mark at the box office. It isbusiness at the end of the day," he added.

In the beginning of his career he had done supportingroles and shared screen space with superstars like SalmanKhan, Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn. He tries to follow the hardwork that these actors put in for their films.

"I get along well with all of them. I do text them once ina while. What I like and learn from them is doing hard work.Even after achieving so much success, they all still put a lotof hard work, give their 100 per cent to a film. They arestill committed to their job. I want to be like that,"Aditya said.
