Having recently delivered a rom-com with Shraddha Kapoor in Half Girlfriend, Arjun Kapoor is already enjoying the success of Mubarakan. While Kapoor’s journey in Bollywood hasn’t been rock solid, with a few hits and misses here and there, the actor is glad that at least his friendships in Bollywood have been entirely successful.

“The competition is very external. People perceive that there must be a lot of competition internally, but everybody is just making each day count. Nobody wakes up looking at competition in the morning,” Kapoor shared when asked about the competition in the industry. “It is an external force, but within ... the friendships that I have had, survived. They have lasted for five years and it’s not been such a big issue,” he added.

“I think it (his journey in Bollywood) has been a good starting point, foundation and most importantly, it’s been a filmography of different films. When I look at my own work, I do feel like I am pushing in terms of trying different genres, working with different people and learning in the process,” he continued when asked about his journey in Bollywood so far. Kapoor concluded on an optimistic note. “I am very happy with the first five years of my career.”
