Arjun Kapoor and Salman Khan’s relationship has been strained for a considerable time now. However, Arjun’s father Boney Kapoor has credited Salman for the Gunday star’s growth as an actor. Boney revealed how Salman made sure Arjun lost a chunk of his weight and the filmmaker also shed some light on their strained relationship.
In an interview with Showsha, Boney said, “Where Arjun is concerned, I may have separated from Mona, but it was never in my mind that Arjun wants to become an actor. It was Salman who called me up and said, ‘He will become an actor.’ I mean he took it upon himself and made him lose weight. Imagine, at that time, he was a very healthy child.”
He continued, “So I would give credit to Salman where Arjun is concerned. Whatever said and done today, maybe they’re not on good terms, I mean, the equation is not that good, but he gave him his best. And Arjun’s growth really was influenced a lot by Salman, where his outlook to acting is concerned, his outlook to films are concerned, and he shaped up. I mean he gave him, rather inculcated in him, the importance of having a good body.”
