Arjun Kapoor believes constantly seeking external validation through work rather than enjoying the process of acting can force a person to take wrong decisions. Though the actor cares about results, he believes that alone should not be a deciding factor in one’s choice of roles. He says, “If I do everything for external validation and proving myself, then I will make wrong decisions. In my career, I have realised that I can do anything if I have my conviction. We go wrong from time-to-time that’s human.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“But I have to be excited as a person to tell a story. I will be lying if I say I don\u2019t care about the results, we all do and we all must as it is a result-driven business but that can’t be the only deciding factor. I need to enjoy the process as an actor,” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It’s a privilege to have the right to choose. I could get typecast in the early parts of my career just as an action hero but I wanted to do all kinds of film also because there was a greed to learn from different people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘Panipat’ came to me at a point where I wanted to do such a film because it’s a genre that I always wanted to explore. Without caring about what people will say, I just jumped on to the film.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arjun’s previous two releases “Namaste England” and “India’s Most Wanted” did not receive a warm welcome at the ticket windows while his last “\u200bPanipat” is getting a mixed response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Success and failure are not defined by Friday alone that’s a misconception. I am running my house I have x number of people working along with me, who are doing well because I am doing well. Because of me many houses, many kids getting an education. To whatever degree, my life is a success because I have been able to positively affect the near and dear ones around me in the good way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“If my success barometer is only my Friday then it will be a problem. Every time, I can’t think I am unsuccessful and think negative. Box office barometer matters but that’s part of life and not the end-all of existence. There is more to life.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I have grown up in this films industry so I have seen the highs and lows through my parents, so maybe being a star kid is that they prepare for the good and bad slightly fast. You get opportunities easily in the beginning. Maybe, I would have asked my father to pick up the phone and meet Aditya Chopra but I choose the path which I felt was right, meeting casting directors and going for an audition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
