No relationship with Jhanvi and Khushi; it doesn't exist: Arjun Kapoor
Mumbai: It’s quite evident that Arjun Kapoor doesn’t share a cordial relationship with his producer father Boney Kapoor. Things went sour between the father-son duo after his father abandoned them (Arjun, his sister Anshula and mother Mona Kapoor) for actress and now his second wife Sridevi.
Situation deteriorated furthermore when Arjun lost his mother Mona to cancer, supposedly leaving him loathing Sridevi and his half-sisters- Jhanvi and Khushi- more than ever.
Even during interviews, lone ranger Arjun doesn’t appreciate questions asked about his stepmom or stepsisters.
In a recent interview with a leading news portal, the ‘Half Girlfriend’ actor admitted that he doesn't have any relationship with them. He revealed, "We don't really meet and spend time together so it doesn't really exist."
The actor, who otherwise appears in a jovial mood, is actually an emotional loner. He battled with his difficult life all alone post his mother’s demise. He admits that it was his younger sister Anshula, who encouraged him and stood rock-solid besides him.
Arjun said, "My sister, Anshula, has stood by me like a rock. She has gone through far worse. She's younger than me. I still had 11 years with my father living in the house. I had my mother living with me for 25 years but she only got 20. Imagine a child who has been through a life where the father couldn't be physically around all the time after the age of 5. And the mother who was there physically all the time and then after 20 years, she wasn't there. Imagine the psychological scarring of that child. She's still more mature, very well-educated, honest and more sincere than me."
Still unable to cope with his mother’s loss, Arjun added, "How do I reconcile with the fact that she's not here to see that I have created an independent identity for myself, that I run a house, that I've grown up to become everything she wanted me to become?"
He further added, "For all the sacrifices she has made for me, there is something as payback which sits here right now as I speak to you. I would have liked her to see that. I wish I was in a position where I could tell her that I have managed to make you proud, Ma. There's no respite from the death of a mother. I always tell people that you are allowed to take your parents for granted to a certain degree but don't underestimate the power of having them around. They are your backbone. You think it's there but imagine one day it cracks -- you are bound to fall. I have lived my life balancing without a backbone for the last 5 years."
Well, it’s rare to see such an emotional side of Arjun Kapoor. Hang in there, man!
