4) Arjun Kapoor On Box Office Failures
Both Aditya and Arjun have had their own shares of hits and flops at the box office. Talking about it, Arjun stated –
“I’ve been part of films that didn’t pan out, but I didn’t do them with the intent of making bad films. They just turned out to not be the best. You can’t control the box office, unfortunately. I’m patient; my time will come. All the wrongs can get right with one Friday, but I’ve got to just keep at it and not get discouraged.”
“There is so much adversity I have faced in my entire life. I think I have spoken on this couch before about many aspects of my life. I think I look at the positive. I’ve had the opportunity where I’ve done well when I started. I’m the first actor in my generation to deliver a 100-crore film with Dharma and Sajid Nadiadwala, which was 2 States. I have done a film like Ki & Ka that did well where I played a house husband,” he concluded.
Aditya further added –
“Yes, those thoughts do creep in, and sometimes they creep in on the weekend of a film not doing well. On a Sunday or a Monday, suddenly all the energy is sucked out of everything, and you’re just left with yourself, and your thoughts can creep in. But it’s very important to just shun them away. Early on, I came in and I got to the sensation that my first three films didn’t do well, and then a couple did, so I was sensitised to that very early on. Nothing is permanent – your successes and your failures.”
5) Karan Johar On The Deepika Padukone-Ranveer Singh Episode
Karan Johar has finally broken his silence on the reaction to the Deepika Padukone-Ranveer Singh’s episode form this season. The filmmaker revealed that the reaction to the first episode ft DeepVeer “angered” him. He said –
“There was a ridiculous kind of after-effect. I just want to put it out there that episode angered me. I thought it was one of our best episodes. They were outstandingly honest, they were earnest. They spoke and shared so much, and they were so gracious. And then you’re f***ing talking about something nonsense. I mean, what do you know about somebody’s personal life and marriage? Tu apne ghar pe dekh na. I want to show them all my f***ing middle finger.”
