Actor Arjun Kapoor who is gearing up for the release of ‘Namaste England’ spoke to Rajeev Masand and Anupama Chopra in a podcast recently. He said he didn’t want to become an actor as he looked like a baseball growing up and he wanted to become a director instead.
A Twitter user took that quote and tried trolling Arjun Kapoor.
“That’s the tragedy of our country.He didn’t want to but nepotism made him an actor.. N there r many more talented ppl who want to b an actor bt never ever get a chance.Sometimes I feel we r giving HAFTA to iski beti, uska beta, iski sister, uski niece bcoz we don’t have choice”.
He certainly was not expecting a reply from Arjun Kapoor but the actor replied and said, “Hey Prateek u always have a choice. U can choose to not watch a film. Also we as actors don’t hold anyone at gunpoint forcing u to watch our work. We work hard put our film out there for all of u some work some don’t we accept the audience judgement & strive to entertain always.”
Here’s the tweet:
