Koffee With Karan 8: Arjun Kapoor and Karan Johar reflect on box office failures; former says, “You can’t control box office, unfortunately, what I can control is the effort and the sincerity”
Karan Johar initiated the conversation, acknowledging the public perceptions shaped by social media and the unseen pressures within the industry. Addressing Arjun Kapoor, he delved into the actor’s experiences with box office setbacks and inquired about his coping mechanisms.
Arjun Kapoor, known for his upfront nature, shared insights into his journey, stating, “We all have public perceptions, we all have Instagram that shows a part of our personality that may or may not be accurate at times, but we are also combating box office pressures, industry dynamics. Fubu, I’m gonna ask you sometimes when box offices have evaded you. What is the way and I always know that you have been upbeat and have a sense of humour which I think is there that in the face of failure you can laugh at yourself. How do you deal with it?”
Arjun added, “There is so much adversity I have faced in my life Karan. I think I have spoken on this couch before about many aspects of my life. I am the first actor in my generation to deliver a 100-crore film, with Dharma and Sajid Nadiadwala that was 2 States.”
The actor further drew parallels with industry stalwarts like Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan, shedding light on the common thread of resilience in the face of failures. Arjun expressed the belief that audience connection is rooted in the quality of his work, asserting, “If my audience has loved me and connected with me because of the work that I did, they are not going to disconnect if I give them a good film. You can’t control box office, unfortunately, what I can control is the effort and the sincerity.”
