When Arjun lost his cool

-

He recently shot extensivel­y in Shillong, Meghalaya, for his film, Rock On 2. And actor Arjun Rampal feels that the northeaste­rn state is “the most beautiful and gorgeous place.” He adds, “The people, the food, the culture is fabulous; and they all are educated. Plus, they have a matriarcha­l society wherein everything is in women’s hands. So, it was beautiful to see women empowermen­t this way.”

What also amazed Arjun is the fact that there is “so much discipline out there in people.” “I think I really fell in love with Shillong. In fact, I also checked out the possibilit­y of buying land there but I was told that I will have to marry a local girl from Shillong for that (laughs). And I was like, ‘Oh ho’ (laughs). But I had a great time. One can easily set a film there and it’s going to be gorgeous,” he says.

On another note, Arjun talks about how he has a stage fright. “I am terrible on stage. I remember the first show I did, I almost started abusing. I remember I was hosting something [a show] which was on the lines of “look of the year.” And I felt blank. My head started spinning and I ended up using the F-word two-three times and it was caught on the mic (laughs),” says the actor, whose Kahaani 2 along with Vidya Balan just released.
