At least I am being linked with a girl - Arjun Kapoor
Talking about his character, Krish, in 2 States, and how similar it
is to his own self, Arjun says, "He has a lot of emotions and has
a balanced thought process. He understands emotions and
gives importance to every little issue. All these qualities match
with mine too."
And after the machismo and bromance in Gunday, the actor is
relieved that he is being linked with Alia these days. "It is good
that I am linked with a girl at least. People had started linking
me with Ranveer Singh, which felt really pathetic."
"I did not know Alia before this and it took me some time to
know her. One thing I like about her is that she is pretty mature
for her age. We are good friends and are not in a relationship,"
clarifies Arjun. He also agrees that it was a lot tougher playing
the quiet and emotional Krish than the robust Bala in Gunday.
"Krish was the toughest role. He has to be soft spoken, while
Bala had to showcase ample arrogance."
2 States is about the relationship between a Punjabi boy and a
South Indian girl and the problems they face getting married.
When asked whether he thought it was important to have the
blessing of one's parents to get married, Arjun says, "That is
what has been depicted in 2 States. It is this Indian culture that
is being taken forward in this modern society. Parents'
blessings are important. We may be modern, but our culture
keeps us grounded."
When pointed out that his family, in fact, is an ideal example of
2 States, as Boney Kapoor, a Punjabi, is married to Sridevi, a
South Indian, Arjun quickly clarifies, "My mother is a Punjabi
and my father is a Punjabi too. Woh (Sridevi) meri maa nahi hai,
naa hi mein unke saath ek ghar mein rehta hun. (She is not my
mother, and neither do I live in the same house as her.)"
