Arjun Kapoor opens up about the trauma of losing his mother in his early 20s
Arjun Kapoor is the oldest child of Boney Kapoor, and, given his family background, he has also been under public scrutiny as yet another ‘star kid’, after his Bollywood debut in Ishaqzaade. However, life has not been quite in his favour. Recently, in a conversation on Raj Shamani’s podcast, Arjun reflected on his hardships, opening up about the profound impact of losing his mother, Mona Shourie Kapoor. Arjun shared:
“It was a tricky time. My past is very heavy. There is a lot of baggage in my past, there is a lot of trauma…I completely respect the fact that people think we’ve had it easy…I never doubt how tough it is for somebody coming in from the outside and trying to make it into this profession. But why do you feel it is easy for me to live the life I’m living?”
