Now, Bollywood actor and filmmaker Farhan Akhtar has come in support of Arjun. Farhan slammed people trolling and criticizing Arjun Tendulkar on social media and asked to not weigh him down. Farhan wrote, "I feel I should say this about #Arjun_Tendulkar. We frequent the same gym & I’ve seen how hard he works on his fitness, seen his focus to be a better cricketer. To throw the word ‘nepotism’ at him is unfair & cruel. Don’t murder his enthusiasm & weigh him down before he’s begun."
