It's shameful: Arjun Kapoor breaks his silence on his alcohol controversy
Mumbai: Just few days back, it was reported that Arjun Kapoor handed over a bill of worth Rs 1 lakh to his producers after partying and consuming alcohol every night while shooting for filmmaker Mohit Suri’s next 'Half Girlfriend'.
The actor, who always chooses to keep mum on controversies, has finally had enough and spoken out. The recent rumour hasn't not gone down well with the actor, who broke his silence and addressed the media at an event held in Mumbai.
On Wednesday, Arjun Kapoor stepped out with his uncle Anil Kapoor for a photo shoot where the actor was asked about the controversy to which he said, “I don’t like to react to ridiculous rumours but I am going to address this. The place where this story appeared, normally people don’t take them seriously. But I am a son of a producer. When this outdoor shoot was going on in June, as you know, my grandmother was seriously unwell. As you must be aware, around that time, she passed away when I was shooting outdoor. So if during that phase, I was ‘consuming alcohol and partying’ worth Rs 1 lakh, then there must seriously be something wrong with me and I shouldn’t get job after this film. I was travelling back and forth everyday from Bombay to Delhi, Delhi to Bombay. Shooting over there and flying back home. I continued shooting,”
The actor went further on and said, “It was my birthday the same month. I didn’t want to celebrate but Balaji expressed that they wanted to throw a party. We partied till 1am in the morning. We celebrated my birthday by cutting a cake. The pictures of that party are all over internet. Next morning, we all were on the set at 7am for the shoot. You can go and cross check it with Delhi Hyatt, where we shot the film. I’m very fair to all. I always take out time for you all and I never complain when something is written about my personal life. But there’s someone’s personal evil agenda behind portraying me unprofessional. It’s to mislead people. So I would like to request you all to not give such things importance. I want you guys to be responsible, it is important. It is shameful the way it is being written about and nobody is reacting to it. Rather than you guys saying that ‘it can’t happen’, you guys are asking me ‘tell us what did you do?’ It’s very very sad.”
Arjun also told the media that people falsly accusing him of things he hasn’t done, just want to tarnish his image. “You guys know my grandmother passed away and if I was unprofessional, would I have finished that film?’ My father is known as one of the amazing and serious producers in the country and as his son, do you think I would put the other producer in jeopardy by giving him Rs 1.5 lakh worth bill? So it’s shameful that someone from media has falsely accused me.”
