- DURGA CHAKRAVART­Y

STARDOM costs celebritie­s their privacy but it’s a small price to pay, says actor Arjun Kapoor, who has been dogged by wedding rumours.

Social media has been abuzz about Kapoor’s rumoured relationsh­ip with actress Malaika Arora, who has become a paparazzi favourite in the Indian showbiz world.

Does he find it stifling that he is constantly under watch?

“Not really… It is a very small price to pay. At the end of the day, for what I have gained out of being an actor, somebody who is known across the country and the world, it’s a small price. And people like to know how we are. They like to be surprised how normal we are. They like to know our idiosyncra­sies. It doesn’t really bother me.”

The actor, 33, said one could pick how much informatio­n to share in the public domain.

“It’s your choice how much you put out there or yourself and your availabili­ty. Today you have a lot of control over as to how much you want people to know about your life.”

On rumours that he may wed Arora, he said: “When there is something to talk about, you will all know.”

On the Bollywood front, Kapoor has an interestin­g slate of work, including India’s Most Wanted, Panipat and Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar.

Over the last few years in the Hindi film industry, Kapoor has portrayed different characters in films such as Finding Fanny, Gunday and Half Girlfriend.
