It is often believed that life is quite easy and struggle free for Bollywood starkids but it is not true in the case of Arjun Kapoor. Despite being the son of filmmaker Boney Kapoor, Arjun has led a life riddled with challanges. To be able to reach where he stands today, the actor had to overcome hardships like divorce of his parents, obesity, demise of his mother among others.

In a recent conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Arjun opened up about several aspects of his life and shared that he never took any help from his father ever since he made his Bollywood debut. The actor stated, “I have never taken anything from my father since I have become an actor. Even before that, it was very limited to what was the necessities. My mother took care of us very well. She brought us up very well. My father as present as he could be was. It’s a very special thing for me to be today in a position where I can wake up and say ‘no’ to a film."

Talking about his mother's significance on his life, Arjun said, “I think she would have been happy even if she could have seen my first film. That would have been enough for her. She sacrificed so much to put me in a position where I can be independent. It's about just doing well for yourself and making sure that your family is aware that you can take care of yourself. It would have been nice for my mother to know that he is doing okay, and that's what parents want.”
