Arjun Kapoor says that Stardom hasn’t reduced but the definition has changed

Actor Arjun Kapoor, who will be seen alongside Shraddha Kapoor in Mohit Suri’s ‘Half Girlfriend’. He feels that the definition of stardom has changed over the years. Accepting his lot in life, he says,” Before you get into the acting profession, you should know what you are getting into.

If you don’t like being in the limelight, then this is not the place for you.”
He adds,”If you are respectful and give the right amount of information, then the media doesn’t create a ruckus or keep doing speculative pieces on you. It’s just part of the profession and you need to deal with it diplomatically.”
With social media, stars have become much more accessible and the star feels that the mystery that shrouded celebrities has largely dissipated. Arjun says,” We can never recreate the situation of the past era now; everybody is tangible and touchable. That unknown, untouchable aspect of stardom is gone. That happened because they want to know more about us. Stardom hasn’t reduced but the definition of it has changed.”
Arjun said,” There have been situations in the past where the film has been unsuccessful and producers have not recovered the cost of the chunks of money taken by the actor. But more often than not, actors have returned the money and did their next film for the producer to cover up. The industry’s primary interest is to make money. Any sensible actor will not put that kind of financial load on his film, at least not beyond a certain point.”
Talking about his film ‘Half Girlfriend’ says about the character in the film, where he comes from a rural background and struggles to speak in English, Arjun believes that the movie has a story that needs to be told. He says,” I entrenched in Western culture today. In the digital age, Hindi as a language, has got lost somewhere, specially in cities. I feel it is important to know your mother tongue. I am not saying English is bad, but I think people are not giving importance to Hindi because every day its losing usage. Today English has become a necessity. I cannot blame anyone for that but it’s rather unfortunate.”
