It’s been over 10 years actor Arjun Kapoor started his film career however he refuses to take “anything for granted”. He concedes he is getting to carry a life he never envisioned for himself.
Arjun Kapoor says, “As an actor, being an assistant director on set, and being a producer’s son, I know how difficult filmmaking is behind the camera. The biggest lesson I learned over the years is that being in front of the camera is also as much of the hard work. You can’t take it for granted.” As per hindustantimes.com.
He added, “I’m living the life that I’d never imagined. Right. So I’m grateful and forever happy being part of this profession and just doing good work”.
The actor proceeds to share that the pandemic gave him an opportunity to reflect on his life and career. “Now that I’ve had time to process during the pandemic about what has happened to my career, and what happened to me personally. So, maybe I’m entering a better phase of my life. And that’s also happened because I’ve gone back to being more instinctive and impulsive and more of an audience member, because I’ve had to sit at home and discover where I was going wrong and reconnect,” he says.
Kapoor also stumbled upon the realization that he is “resilient as I am able to survive the highs and lows. I get affected, but not enough to get caught up and bogged down”. “I never knew that I was such a secure human being to be able to do all kinds of films and roles that I did,” says the actor.
He addss, “When I started in this profession, I just wanted to act and make a name for myself. That has always remained constant. When I did Ki & Ka, I didn’t know that the subject would excite people… For instance, in Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar, I didn’t know I had the courage to crossdress in the climax of that film. When I look back, I feel I’m a very strong person to be able to do something like that. I don’t know how many mainstream actors, or so-called commercial heroes would think about doing that”.
