Arjun Kapoor: A talent who's done the work, built the roles and earned his space

The trolling that Arjun Kapoor has faced in recent times has been mindless, harsh and deeply unfair. It says far more about the current climate of casual cruelty on social media than it does about him as an artist or as a person. Somewhere in the noise, people have forgotten the journey, the work and the human being behind the name. It is important to pause, step back from the echo chamber, and remember who Arjun truly is and what he has consistently brought to Hindi cinema. From the very start of his career, Arjun Kapoor proved his box office strength with a run of widely loved films. Ishaqzaade, 2 States, Gunday and Ki & Ka were not just successful titles, they showed how naturally he could shift from intense drama to romance, from action to light hearted humour. His debut carried raw intensity, his romantic parts brought emotional honesty, and his experimental choices in unusual stories reflected a young actor willing to step out of his comfort zone instead of chasing the safes...

Reflecting on how the health scare became a moment of reckoning, Sushmita shared, “When you suffer a heart attack and you are conscious through it, you kind of know how close you came to being on the other side of life. Once you cross that, you also know how far behind it is now, and you know the difference… In my mind, everything is transient, including a heart attack. If I were not to survive it, then there would be no story to tell, but if you have survived it, then no point sitting a harping about what happened then.” She explained that she insisted on staying awak...
