Bollywood actor Arjun Kapoor graced the couch at the latest episode of Koffee with Karan Season 8. Arjun Kapoor attended the Koffee with Karan 8's latest episode along with Aditya Roy Kapur and opened up about his relationship and even back-to-back box office failures. Arjun Kapoor revealed that his back-to-back movie failures took a toll on his mental health and it even continues. The 38-year-old actor reportedly has given seven to eight flop movies at the box office including- Mubarakan, Namastey England, India’s Most Wanted, Panipat, Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar, Ek Villain Returns, Kuttey, and most recently The Lady Killer.
Talking about delivering back-to-back flop movies, Arjun Kapoor said, "I also look at the positive. I have had this opportunity. I have done well when I started. I am the first actor in my generation to deliver a 100-crore film with Dharma and Sajid Nadiadwala that was 2 States. I have seen the high. I have done a like Ki Ka that did well where I played house husband. I have done all kinds of work. I have worked with so many people. So, I have to look ar the positives and understand this is a phase. Your selection can go wrong. The audience can change. The audience can change the way they feel about you. You have to keep being honest and sincere and keep trying as long as you are being given opportunities. Sometimes you will be given opportunities in the mainstream way. Sometimes you have to find the correct film. And there are so many examples in the past. When you look at all the big stars, their careers, they have had phases."
Arjun pointed out the fact that this type of phase comes in every actor's life. Arjun also gave examples of Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan. "I mean Akshay Kumar has spoken so openly of the fact that he almost considered leaving the profession at one point in time. Eleven, twelve flops he talked about. When you look at Saif's career, till Dil Chahta Hai didn't happen, he was on a different trajectory. I have been part of films that didn't pan out. But, I didn't do them with the intent of making bad films. They just turned out to not be the best. You can't control the box office, unfortunately. I am patient, my time will come. All the wrongs can be right with one Friday. But, I have to just keep at it and not get discouraged."
"In this show, many have spoken about mental health. It does take a toll. I have my moments, I have had my upheaval and it continues. But at no time I am discouraged from this profession," added Arjun Kapoor.
