Arjun Kapoor made his Bollywood debut in 2012 with Ishaqzaade, opposite Parineeti Chopra. Before making his debut, Arjun had to loose tons of weight. The once flabby kid who weighed 140 kgs lost 53 kgs in the span of 4 years, drawing inspiration from Bollywood fitness pro Salman Khan.

Over the years, Arjun has created a fan base for himself with his flawless acting skills, his playful nature and his dedication for his work. Despite of the actor being loved for who he is, the Gunday actor often falls prey to the trolls of body-shaming on various social media platforms.  

In a recent interview with Bombay Times, Arjun Kapoor opened up about the same topic. He openly spoke about how the journey, for whoever suffering through health issues, is difficult. Further adding to the same, Arjun also spoke about how important it is to stay healthy and before criticizing others for their height, weight, and how one should focus on themselves. He said,

As far as trolling me for my weight is concerned, anyone who has been through a journey of weight loss, weight gain and health issues will know how hard it is. Millions of people go through this every single day. It’s just that we are in the public space. The big screen gives you an illusion of fitness and what the world should be like, as everyone looks like models on screen. But that is not real beyond a point. A lot of effort, money and time go into looking that way. It’s important to be healthy. If you can’t encourage and be supportive, you have no right to put people down for trying to be better health wise, forget aesthetic-wise. Iski shakl aisi hai, height waisi hai, patla hai, mota hai... tum apne aap ko dekh lo yaar. (Before criticizing others for their facial features, height or weight… you should look after yourself).

Recently, Arjun Kapoor took to his social media handle and shared his journey of weight loss. He wrote, “It’s been a tough journey for me ever since I was a kid when it comes to my battle with obesity. Everyone has their own struggles I have had and continue to have mine. But the whole point of life is that we fall, we get back up and try again...”
