Cousins Sonam and Arjun Kapoor have faced with one common problem during their growing up years. Both were overweight, but they handled it their very own way.
While Sonam drowned herself in fashion magazines quite early on, giving her the brink she has today, Arjun seems to have invested all his attention towards films.
Apparently during his teenage years the actor wouldn’t bother going partying or play sports, but instead would lock himself up in a room stuffed with dvds.
Says a source, “We all have our own methods of coping with our insecurities or weaknesses. Arjun found comfort in cinema. He desired to watch and learn from as numerous filmmakers as possible.
It made him feel like he was using his time well. He would sit and watch films for hours together, looking to understand other kinds of cinema, excluding Bollywood films that he grew up watching.”
So much in order that today he owns a set of over 7, 500 dvds, all arranged neatly in alphabetical order in his room. Adds the source, “That stack contains everything from Hollywood to Bollywood to foreign films to documentaries.
It’s like a movie buff’s paradise in there. Even today, even though he’s been busy together with his film, he tries to verify he watches a minimum of one film an afternoon. It’s what keeps him going and he believes it’s one of the best ways to judge his own work.”
From fat to fit
Interestingly it is usually certainly one of reasons that impressed his director Habib Faisal, as Arjun would effortlessly improvise during his scenes. Adds the source, “Watching films can influence you in a large number of ways and Arjun is trying to make use of those influences in his performance.” Well so long as he doesn’t advocate being a couch potato, we predict this film buff’s going to move an extended way.
