‘I’M TOO YOUNG TO GET MARRIED’

Actor Arjun Kapoor says marriage is not a short-term thing for him, he wants to wait for the right person

Actor Arjun Kapoor usually likes to speak his mind on various issues, but a question on marriage is met with this response, “I am sorry, did you just ask me when I would get married? I will get married when I find someone right. I am very young right now. That is not something that I look at as a short-term thing. For marriage, my agenda is long term. But there is still time for that.”

Meanwhile, Arjun, who recently finished shooting for R Balki’s film alongside actor Kareena Kapoor Khan, is busy hosting a reality show and says that the first day of any project is always tricky. “You get so nervous before shooting. It’s one thing to have conversations with your director and sit down and do readings and workshops. Eventually when you show up on the set, you feel under prepared on the first day. You feel nervous and apprehensive. You are still figuring things out,” he says, adding, “The feeling is good as it drives you to put yourself out there and take chances.”

While Arjun has delivered hit films such as Ishaqzaade (2012) and 2 States (2014), his latest film Tevar (2014) got a mixed response at the box office. The 30-year-old says that there is no way to predict how a film would fare.

“You can never be too confident. Being brought up in the film industry, I have learnt that you can never be too sure with any film. Finally, the audience decides if a film will flop or be a success. Till the time the film does not reach the audience, you ought to be nervous. That’s your duty to them,” he says.
