While talking to Raj Shamani, the 2 States actor recalled how losing Sridevi was an impulse to such gesture. He said, “When what happened with dad and Khushi-Janhvi, there was an impulse. And in this case also, there was an instinct and impulse. If I’ve formed an emotional bond with somebody, I would always like to believe that I will be there regardless of the good and the bad. If I’m invited for the good, I will be there. And if I’m needed for the bad, I will be there. I’m not somebody who has a lot of friends, I’m not doing this for all and sundry. If that person doesn’t want me there, I’ll maintain a distance, as I have in the past.”

Talking about paparazzi culture and how relationship can’t be hidden, he shares, “Nowadays, you can’t just go a restaurant without being ‘spotted’. Everyone has a phone, forget the paps”. Arjun also believes that it is always wise to go public with a relationship, because it looks shady if you’re spotted meeting your partner secretly. “It cheapens the relationship. It makes sense to be forthright about your partner in a dignified manner… I’m a private person. It took me a while to come on social media. Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt and Karan Johar forced me to come on social media after 2 States,” Arjun said.

On the work front, Arjun has Mere Husband Ki Biwi with Rakul Preet Singh and Bhumi Pednekar. He will also be a part of No Entry sequel which stars Varun Dhawan as well.
