These days, unconventional is new ‘cool’ says Arjun

Bollywood actor Arjun Kapoor was told at the beginning of his career that he is not “conventionally” good looking. But he says he’s glad that unconventional is the ‘new cool in the entertainment business.

He has droopy eyes and has faced comments regarding his weight. Asked about how he has dealt with such remarks, Arjun told IANS here: “As you know that Aditya Chopra gave me the first break, he made me aware of the fact that I am not conventionally good looking and that I have to achieve everything through my work.

“I think my imperfection makes me attractive and these days, unconventional is new ‘cool’… You know what I mean?”

From the day superstar Salman Khan identified his potential as an actor and urged him to work on weight loss, from giving auditions for his debut, facing a box office failure with “Tevar” to delivering a successful film like “2 States” — Arjun had quite a bumpy ride in Bollywood.
