Armaan Jain: I'm Prepared For the Long Struggle Ahead

Armaan Jain is closely related to the Kapoor clan and the Bachchan family

Highlights

  • He's young, comes from a strong film family and is looking forward to making them all proud. Armaan Jain, whose debut movie Lekar Hum Deewana Dil opened to mixed reviews, says he's geared for the road ahead in tinsel town.
  • "My film Lekar Hum Deewana Dil is out. For a whole year, my co-star Deeksha and my director Arif Ali sir have been living, breathing and sleeping the film. After the movie, all the excitement about the release surfaced. And now, there is a feeling of emptiness that I can't describe," said the 23-year-old, who's raring to go.
  • Looking back at the experience of shooting his maiden film, Armaan said, "Lekar Hum Deewana Dil will always remain very special for me. I learnt so much while shooting for it. I evolved not just as an actor but also as a human being."
  • He said working on the movie broadened his mind.
  • "Like Imtiaz sir (director Arif Ali's brother), Arif sir loves the Indian heartland. I went to places where the locals had never stepped out of their native home, never even travelled in a train. The film exposed me to an entirely new area of existence, and a different way of living," he said.
  • Armaan realises being the scion of the Kapoor family is both a blessing and a burden.
  • "But I am prepared for the long struggle ahead," said the sorted young actor, who is Reema Jain's son.
  • The second film is always more crucial than the first. Armaan is looking at his post-debut prospects very carefully. He has a vast network of advisers in the distinguished Kapoor family.
  • And lest we forget, Armaan is also related to the Bachchans. Abhishek Bachchan's sister Shweta is married to the son of Armaan's mother's sister.
  • "Yes, I am blessed with a family that knows show business in an out. I have my uncles and cousins for advice and of course Saif (Saif Ali Khan) sir, who is part of the family. I also have Abhishek bhaiyya, who is always there to guide me, and Shah Rukh (Khan) sir who is a close family friend. How much more support can I get?," asked Armaan.
  • He is geared up for the struggle ahead.
  • "Everyone who cares about me says the second film is crucial. Mom and Dad tell me the same thing. I am fully charged up and looking forward to my next project," he added.
