Arjun Kapoor

Argentina is amazing.

Two actors can be friends very easily. I think two actresses can also be friends.

I wanted to tell my story because I believe that if I can inspire or motivate even 10 or 15 people to start losing weight, it's a very big achievement. If I've managed to do it, anybody can.

I considered obesity a disease. It can destroy you from within. It almost destroyed me, and I do not want that to happen to anybody.

My heritage is Pakistani, and I have loads of Pakistani fans on social media who I would love to connect with.

My grandfather is from Peshawar; he was born there.

Sadly, Indians are not very easily accepted in Pakistan, and that has a lot to do with the governments.

A film is not something that can be made over the phone or Skype. Creative people meet, spend time together, and then come up with something.

It's important to be successful, and not just because there is competition, but also because it leads to better work for you.

When you aren't doing too many films, people find other things to write about you.

I didn't have any relationships in my teenage years, as I felt I was not attractive enough.

I don't know how I got such an image, but I am not a Casanova. It's an image that I wouldn't have liked for myself.

There is pathos and drama in 'Half Girlfriend.'

I think everybody can get along.

There is nothing wrong being a house husband, and I do believe there is something right about it.

I made peace with 'Tevar' not doing well and moved on.

I am hungry for good work.

I am so broad and big-structured that even two kilos on me can look like gaining 10 kilos, and losing two kilos can also look like shedding 10 kilos.

I try and work out at least six times a week with my trainer because that's important for my body type, which is so different from a typical Indian boy.

I work very hard in the gym. Sometimes, I come home very late, around 1 A.M., but still I go and work out at the gym. I don't ever stop.

Even actors are human beings, so we have issues to deal with - physical, emotional, and mental.

I went to acting school, and I polished my dancing, but I didn't really learn how to fight.

I internalise things. My sorrows and joys are private.

I've never been in a fight, not even while in college.

I'm happiest when in front of the camera, and I didn't know it until I got up there.

I understand that people talk, and frankly, I can't control that. There's no point in getting upset over a thing that you can't control. You just have to let it go.

I don't want success to affect me to that extent that I change or failure to that extent that I get sad, bitter and negative.

An actor is defined by the choices he or she makes.

Sometimes, it is important for actors to take risky decisions.

When you come from within the industry, you are better prepared for the industry. For example, you see your family deal with the nonsense that is written in the papers, or the highs and lows of a hit and a flop.

Your success can't be determined by your surname but only by your work.

For an actor to create a different look for every film is not easy.

As a host, I did 'Khatron Ke Khiladi,' and it was a learning experience.

As a host on TV, one has to engage the audience and contestants on the show. One has to bring a new element to their personality while hosting so that it doesn't look monotonous to the audience.

I feel that if you are not comfortable, you can't be stylish, and that is the rule I follow.

My personal style statement is very casual. And for me, comfort tops the chart over anything else.

I love leather jackets, and I am obsessed with it. I carry leather jackets fairly well.

I won't think about what people will say, even when I am actually seeing someone. Somebody will say something, then someone else will contradict it. I can't keep chasing all of them and try and correct everyone.

Filmmaking as a process, it's bittersweet.

I aspire to play interesting characters.

In the beginning, I got different kind of roles, and then I realised it's great to be that way. And that thought is always there before signing a film.

The choice of films I make is directly proportional to the kind of cinema I have grew up watching.

It has been an amazing experience working on 'Half Girlfriend.'

Hollywood has cracked emotions very well with animation, and that is where India will eventually cover because it is an emotional country, and we just want a right story to tell, which will stir the right emotions with the audience.

When I get married, I think what matters is you should be happy with the person you are living with.

I am too ambitious to become a house husband.

My ambition is very cinema-driven.

If I dabble in too many things and don't focus on channelizing my energy into one thing, I might mess it up.

In a population of over one billion, there are 12-15 names that have the potential to be main leads in Hindi films. I am within the minority of the minority.

Movies are my bread and butter and my inherent passion.
