Malaika Arora’s father’s death came as a shock to everyone. While many of her friends including Kareena Kapoor Khan and Karisma Kapoor came to comfort her, her ex-boyfriend Arjun Kapoor was the first one to come. Opening up about the decision to show up for his ex-partner, he confessed that his own tragedies have shaped his approach to romantic relationships.
Arjun Kapoor On Helping Malaika Arora
During a recent conversation with Raj Shamani on his podcast, Arjun Kapoor was asked about why he decided to show up for his ex-partner at a time of need. “When what happened with Dad and Khushi-Janhvi, there was an impulse. And in this case, also, there was an instinct and impulse,” Kapoor said. He said that when he makes an emotional bond with someone, he would want to be there for the bad part as well.
He continued by saying that he was not the kind of person with many friends and would maintain a distance if one didn’t want him there. He also shared that he believed in making his relationships public because it would look shady to be spotted with your partner secretly. He revealed that he was a private person and that it was Karan Johar, Varun Dhawan, and Alia Bhatt who forced him to join social media after 2 States.
He stated that actors no longer have a choice about whether or not to go public with their relationships because they will be discovered. And once they are, curiosity will only grow. Arjun stated that he is not commitment-phobic, but rather has a ‘fear of loss’ as a result of what has occurred to him in the past.
