'Ranveer Singh had Delhi wala laundapan' says Arjun Kapoor

More

Arjun Kapoor was in the capital for a press conference a while back. When we caught up with the actor, he spoke to us about the typical traits that comprise a Delhiwala and a Mumbaiwala.

"My cousins are from Delhi, and they're energetic and exuberant; and they wear their heart on their sleeve. They're unabashedly proud of being Punjabi, and are very family driven. I've spent all my summer holidays in Delhi. My uncle and my bua live here. I've grown up here, done all the normal things, and all the tourist-y things, too. GK mein gedi maarna, loud music sunna - sab kuch kiya hai. Like that's what I loved when I saw Ranveer in Band Baajaa Baaraat. He got that - woh Delhi wala laundapan pakda usne. Lekin main hoon Mumbaiwala. Ab kya karoon," Arjun said.




"Main hamesha mazaak udata tha mere bhaiyon ka, hum 'kakdi' bolte hain Mumbai mein, yahaan 'kheera' bolte hain. Ab yeh kheera kya hota hai yaar! Aur ek aur shabd hota tha, 'kanda-pyaaz'," Arjun asked the people present, and immediately, a lively debate about what is kheera and what is kakdi ensued, which Arjun interrupted softly to tell us, "But let me tell you, when I'm here with my cousins, I'm a total Delhi boy. I admire the way they are so emotional here, in Delhi. Delhiwalo ko farak nahi padta log kya sochte hain. 'Hum aisey hi hain' is their attitude, and that is what I love."
