Mumbai, May 12 (NationPress) Bollywood star Arjun Kapoor is marking a significant milestone as he celebrates 13 years since his debut in the film industry. Recently seen in the box-office disappointment, 'Mere Husband Ki Biwi', the actor has expressed his commitment to reinventing himself for future projects.
On Monday, Arjun took to his Instagram account to share a series of nostalgic photographs from his childhood and teenage years, coupled with a heartfelt open letter addressed to his younger self.
He wrote, “Dear 26-year-old Arjun, you have achieved it. You are now at the brink of a dream that once seemed unattainable. I remember the countless nights you spent watching movies, nurturing the belief that cinema could be your escape and your calling. You dedicated yourself to transforming not just your physique, but also your mind and spirit. The hours of hard work, the discipline, and even the challenges were all worthwhile. Always remain humble and keep your appetite for success alive. And, never forget that this journey began with a bullied child who had an unyielding love for films.”
Arjun debuted in the industry with 'Ishaqzaade', where he starred alongside Parineeti Chopra. They portrayed star-crossed lovers in a narrative directed by Habib Faisal, which highlighted the grave issue of honour killings.
Interestingly, as Arjun reflected on his experiences with bullying, his name surfaced recently when actor Babil Khan shared a video expressing his emotional struggles on Instagram.
In the video, Babil described Bollywood as a 'fake industry' and mentioned names including Ananya Panday, Shanaya Kapoor, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Raghav Juyal, Adarsh Gourav, and Arjun Kapoor.
Following public backlash and calls for accountability regarding the names he mentioned, Babil later clarified his statements.
The video raised concerns among Babil's supporters and netizens, who expressed worry over his mental well-being. After sharing a tearful moment on camera, Babil briefly deactivated his Instagram account, only to return hours later.
