Arjun Kapoor says actors must not harp on the constant attention to which they are subjected
Highlights
- Newcomer Arjun Kapoor, who kick-started his Bollywood career with Ishaqzaade, thinks that the constant scrutiny around an actor's life is a "small price" they have to pay for being in this "great profession".
- "There is no point in harping and dwelling on it and feel bad about it. Rather, one must continue living his life," Arjun told PTI.
- "These things are part and parcel of our lives. It is a very small price for such a great profession to be in. There is no point in looking at it and thinking," said the actor, who would next be seen in Aurangzeb, releasing next week.
- Arjun also described the reports of his rivalry with Gunday co-star Ranveer Singh as "unfortunate". "On screen we are playing best friends and off screen also we are best friend. It is unfortunate that these things come up and media likes to make these rumours. It is boring and tedious for us to talk about it. Hopefully when our film comes out then people will get a sense of how we get along," he said.
- "I feel sometimes media should be responsible and then I realise they are doing their job. As long as they don't hit below the belt and don't disrespect and judge you because of your personal life, I am fine with it," he said.
- Both Arjun and Ranveer will be seen together as dons in Gunday, which is set in Kolkata. Actress Priyanka Chopra plays the role of a Bengali girl in the movie. "I know Priyanka even before we started working on Gunday. I was an assistant on Salam-E-Ishq, so we got along very well. She is fantastic to work with, we had great time and enjoyed," Arjun said.
