Arjun Kapoor on his “unconventional” looks

Arjun Kapoor is known for his sleepy eyes and he also had a weight issue when he was younger. He’s finally opened up about how he dealt with the comments people made.

“As you know that Aditya Chopra gave me the first break, he made me aware of the fact that I am not conventionally good looking and that I have to achieve everything through my work. I think my imperfection makes me attractive and these days, unconventional is new ‘cool’… You know what I mean?,” said Kapoor, according to Hindustan Times.

Talking about whether he misses how he looked in the years gone by, Kapoor replies, “I do not complain about my diet because I am leading a healthy life now. Earlier, because I was obese, I had health issues. I am fit now. There is a difference between being conscious and under confident. As a kid, I was the latter. I was a happy fatty kid who couldn’t play football, basketball, couldn’t talk to girls for dating… Because I was quite under confident. Things started changing when I focused towards becoming an actor”.

Kapoor stars in this week’s release, ‘Half Girlfriend’, releasing today.
