Arjun Kapoor is a new age Indian actor that has made a name for his brooding looks and muscular physique. He comes from a long line of film families that has entertained audiences for generations, and is the next generation of Kapoor. You might have trolled him for being a product of nepotism and a person who's had it easy. Once you learn about these untold facts about him, it might change your perspective entirely.
For any parent, it's their dream to see their child climb the ladder of success. They often sacrifice their happiness, time and often life for it. For Arjun, his parent's happiness was all that mattered, and before his debut film could get released, his mother passed away due to cancer.
It was and remains to be a pain point for Arjun. He never got the opportunity to let her mom see his success in full glory, which he lives with everyday.
In a sad twist of fate, Janhvi Kapoor also lost her mother just before her film Dhadak. Both mothers died in March, very similar to their kids' debut film right around the corner.
You might have heard a lot about Arjun Kapoor's health issues, how he used to be extremely obese.
However, many might not know that his sister Anshula Kapoor also suffers from serious obesity issues. This has been something that doesn't get mentioned often, but the family has been dealing with it. She also has had to be hospitalised due to her low BP, and thankfully it didn't turn out to be anything serious. One can only hope that her sister also pulls off that same transformation as Arjun and lives a healthy life.
One man Salman Bhai has largely influenced Arjun Kapoor's life and career goals. From his first job assisting Prabhu Deva in the movie Wanted, Arjun has learned his work and gym ethics. Being the kind soul, Khan helped and trained Arjun on how to lose that body fat and guided him through the journey. You can sense how he's modelled his career over the star and has adopted the style.
While Arjun is a person who adores and love's his family to death. Certain relationship dynamics are often complicated and have certain issues, pains that one often feels for. His father, Boney Kapoor, separated from Arjun's mother and married Sridevi at 11. That can be quite a shock and difficult thing to process; Arjun is no exception.
He has often commented on how his relationship with Sridevi was cordial and one of respect rather than love.
He found it difficult to fully accept his stepmother, and somewhere his bond with his father also had an impact. From the second marriage, they had Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi; he had to accept certain new relationships once again.
Arjun accepted these new relationships with a lot of love for the new step-siblings. By his admission, however, they came much closer after the death of their mothers.
A shared sense of grief over being motherless brought their family together, and the Kapoor family stands united.
Arjun Kapoor is often mocked for his acting skills, and there are many detractors of his. In many ways, Kapoor has showcased great maturity and humbleness dealing with all the criticism. He's constantly working on himself, whether it is his physique or acting skills.
A good example of this is the movie Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar; for many, this film changed the perception of Arjun. He's playing a rough and tough policeman on the outside, but on the inside, he's much more emotional. Arjun manages to be extremely stoic but also vulnerable. He delivered an extremely engaging performance and showcased that he has the potential to be great.
Arjun Kapoor is one of this generation's new and upcoming actors trying to make it big in the industry. He is at work in progress, and many of his detractors might see him as a failure. There is a great potential in him just waiting to come out and make a huge impact on Indian cinema.
