Have a fear of giving up: Arjun Kapoor

Says whining about films that don’t do well doesn’t help the morale

NEW DELHI: Actor Arjun Kapoor, whose last few films including Tevar didn’t create any fireworks at the box-office, says he is not fond of giving up. He shared that his “constant fear” is giving up on things.

“I have a fear of giving up. I never want to give up. You win or you lose... I don’t ever want to wake up with a thought that I want to give up or I can’t do this anymore. Whatever is that I am attempting, I really don’t want to give up on that,” Arjun said in an interview.

Arjun is currently hosting the reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi - Kabhi Peeda Kabhi Keeda.”I have fought through a lot of hardships just like all of us have. But I definitely don’t want to wake up and start thinking it’s not worth it or I don’t want to make the effort,” the 30-year-old added.



Asked about his films’ failure, he said, “You want your movies to work. That’s a very natural emotion. When you do anything, you want it do well...You hope for the best and prepare for the worst. It’s a part and parcel of any actor’s life. It’s not in my hands. It happened last time. ‘Tevar’ didn’t do well... you deal with it and move on.”

The actor says having a negative or a scared approach never helps. “You cannot do films and be scared that it will not work. You have to be confident and then if the films don’t do well then you learn from them.”
