“For mental health, sleep over it!”
A rjan Bajwa insists he has too many facets to his personality to be easily pigeonholed. As an actor, he has featured in many a Bollywood hit like Guru, Fashion, and Kabir Singh, and considers his ability to carve out a career in movies a “big task, because I do not come from a film background.”
Taking part in dramatics in both school and college were influential in helping Arjan—who also happens to be a Black Belt in Taekwondo—hone his love for acting. The son of one of Delhi’s former mayors, he then left his big Punjabi joint family to try his luck in Mumbai.
Although he is a white-shirt-and-bluejeans kind of guy, Arjan has a keen appreciation for the finer things in life. He loves watches and sunglasses because, “What else is the replacement for jewellery for a guy anyway?” and he hoards shoes and perfumes, revealing, “I study perfumes and have a huge collection of fragrances!”
List three things that nobody knows about you.
1. I play the tabla.
2. I have a degree in architecture.
3. I pilot planes as a hobby because I’m very passionate about aviation.
Do you go for boys’ night out often? Yes. A boys’ night out happens regularly with my core group of friends, either at an outdoor spot or at any of our houses.
Would you go out for a date with a person you met on social media?
Yes, why not? If the conversation with the person has intrigued me enough to want to know them better.
One relationship rule you follow.
Don’t waste your time on fights or trivial issues. There are much more exciting things to spend time on.
What do you read or watch in bed?
I don’t read books in bed but I do watch something quirky to take my mind off a stressful day, or I catch a documentary on aviation or automobile engineering.
Your health philosophy?
Right diet and rigorous workouts.
One thing you do for mental health. Speak to people I’m close to and vent about what’s bothering me. Then, I sleep over it. - Dinesh Raheja
