Actor Arjun Kapoor has completed 13 years in the Hindi film industry. On the anniversary of his debut film Ishaqzaade, which released on May 11, 2012, the actor took a moment to look back on his journey. He penned an emotional letter addressed to his 26-year-old self — the age at which he stepped into Bollywood — and shared it with his fans through Instagram.
Posting a throwback picture, Arjun began, “This is me at 26, nervous, unsure, excited & already looking for validation… I still am in many ways… but I’m not afraid anymore.” He acknowledged the emotional turbulence and insecurity he carried back then and confessed that even today, he often feels that same nervous energy. “I’ll always be that same boy at heart who gets petrified before every shot, before every scene, before every narration… but I’ve learnt it’s ok to be this person.”
