Arjun Kapoor reveals ‘Earlier I used to get a bit worked up’

When Koffee With Karan (KWK) host Karan Johar asked if it bothers him how trolls talk about his relationship, Arjun said, “What is important to understand is that you will be affected. There is no person that is not being affected, it is about dealing with it. It also shows their (trolls’) upbringing and their culture. Those people that are putting up random comments, you also know that they are trying to get your attention. So earlier, I used to get a bit worked up and wanted to respond all the time. Then I realized that I have to allow it to sink in, to understand what the reason is why these desperate people are trying to get my attention, and try to detach myself from their reaction. Does it affect me? Yes it does… they (trolls) might be doing it get likes.”

Arjun also said “These are the same people that will take a selfie with you. When they see you at a shoot, these are the same people who are also dying to take selfies and photos with you. These are the same people, unfortunately.”
