Arjun Kapoor is known to be an absolute family man. While he has had his share of personal turmoil in his childhood, following his parents – Boney Kapoor & mom Mona Kapoor’s high profile separation, the life experiences have made him tougher and well prepared for anything else in life. Whoever knows Arjun remotely will tell you how well behaved and polite he is with everyone around, but he has always battled the perception of being aggressive and passive. He opens up about the same and the several misconceptions around him.

In his professional life, Arjun has faced more personal attacks rather than criticism on his craft. Elaborating about the same the actor said, “Sometimes people attack your personal choices, your professional choices, the way you look, the way you are, the way you behave. Craft is very secondary. Sincerity and honesty are not important beyond a point. And always I have been an easy target because I can laugh at myself. So its not a big deal. Again like a said, its a difficult profession to be in as it is. It is very difficult to break into, I have said that many many times. And I don’t ever question how fortunate I am. But I have never misused my position or being in this place. I always give it 200 per cent. And I have been accepted by the audience so I am here. And I just continue to do that. In that adversity of my personal crisis somewhere I managed to put my head down and work on a film going away from my father’s company.”

Arjun went on to share the adversity he faced in his life and how he chose to rise above them. The actor also reasoned that while everyone has their own share of struggles, but just because he comes from a certain family, his struggles shouldn’t be overlooked.

“My father would have launched me, but I went ahead and auditioned and then got a film. I gave it my all and worked dedicatedly. And the audience appreciated my honesty. So when you talk about whether you are privilege or not, whether it is easy or difficult. That time there was no social media launch. I was not a star kid. People forget I was never treated like a star kid. Nobody knew who I was. I was not presented in that format. I was playing a villain in most of those films. I was launched by a very good production house because I went and gave an audition. I had never met Aditya Chopra before my audition. I never met Yash ji (Chopra). Because I lived separately with my mother and sister, whereas my father lived with his wife and Janhvi, Khushi. It was very different. Now explaining these things to everyone is difficult. So through interview I want to reach people and let them know that we had complicated lives. There were complications and that is what family and life is. I have come above those complications and tried to look at the bigger picture and be a mature person about what life dealt. And this is without disregarding anybody who has to go through a financial crisis or the fact that their parents have to work extra hard to get them opportunity to come to the city to make it. But I cant take away from the fact that I have had my shares of hardships in the process of reaching where I am. I understand other people’s struggle, and mine may not be as much as theirs’ but you just can’t totally deny my hardships. I have my own struggles, and crisis that I handled on my own,” the Sardar Ka Grandson actor signs off.
