It's not just the actresses
who face the pressure of looking good on screen anymore. The heroes
aren't spared either. When asked about the issue, condemning body
shaming, Arjun Kapoor stated, “It's silly and stupid. Sometimes you push
yourself so much to look good that you become unhealthy. The time has
now gone of just being good-looking. I am a prime example. I am not
saying I am not good-looking. For some people I may be appealing and
that's amazing because I am not a conventional Hindi film hero material
from any angle. Not everybody is going to look the same. Each person's
body is unique. I have got big legs and I am very proud of it as men in
India have skinny legs. Mine are proper legs of a man (laughs). Alag ko
hamesha toka jaata hai. Of course it's good to be fit and healthy but
the choice is yours as to how thin you want to look. It also depends on
the role. When I was doing
2 States, I became thin to look convincing for that part. It's not easy
for a guy who is broad like me to look thin. For that I had to stop
eating literally. The audience's mindset has changed but there will
always be haters.“
