The new year marks the beginning of Arjun Kapoor’s second decade in the movie industry. If the past 10 years have taught him something, it is to retain the hunger and spontaneity that he possessed when facing the camera for the first time, for Ishaqzaade (2012). The actor reflects, “When you start out, you make choices impulsively. After a point, you’re told to be strategic. Then, life comes full circle, and you realise the child in you should always remain. Today, I hold on to the thought of what Arjun [of 2012] wanted to do — he wanted to do good work, and be emotional about his choices rather than calculative.”
