Actor Arjun Kapoor has assuredly come a long way in his
Bollywood journey as the actor completes five years in the industry. His last
release Mubarakan was a hit amongst the viewers.
But Arjun has had his fair shares of failures too. When he
was questioned by a famous tabloid whether a box-office miss for his movie
makes him choose a tried and tested concept for his next, the actor responded,
"I feel that your failures teach you more than your successes. In a
profession like ours, how you survive failure defines you. You can’t let your
convictions waver. Regardless of how much money films make, how you select
material can’t change just because you have seen success or failure."
Arjun further added, "You still have to follow your
instincts. If I get excited while reading something, then I don’t look at how
safe or unsafe it is. I have not let success or failure change the way I agree
to do films. And I don’t think you should let that happen because filmmaking is
like gambling. There are a lot of external factors, so, you can’t always
control fate."
On if he is in a good space in his professional life right
now, Arjun disclosed, "When I started off, I had no idea what I was doing.
I didn’t put my best foot forward during my initial interviews. Back then I was
figuring myself out. It was a rebirth of sorts for me, and I had to sort myself
out. It was the worst phase of my life. I had to reassess and learn how to put
myself across. I think I was always a sorted kid. I am the same person now,
too, but I am able to articulate better. I’m more relaxed and calm."
