Arjun Kapoor says he does not mind taking selfies with fans but feels that they should not judge actors if they refuse them sometimes.
“I believe each picture taken is a ticket sold. [The fans] are not going to meet me ever again. This is one memory of me they will always have so I would not want to ruin that. Saying no becomes difficult for that reason,” Kapoor said in an interview.
“Taking a picture does have an effect on fans. It changes the way they think of you. I don’t want someone to say, ‘He refused a picture with me, so I don’t want to watch his movie’. But I hope fans understand too that we can also have our bad days. They should not judge us for saying no,” he added.
The 30-year-old 2 States star currently hosts the stunt reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi on Colors, his debut on the small screen.
Kapoor said he is not an avid television watcher but found Khatron Ke Khiladi exciting enough to join.
“The makers came to me with a certain plan. I was confident of what they wanted from me. It is the coolest show on Indian television. It is like the Dhoom series of the small screen,” Kapoor said.
The show has been previously hosted by Akshay Kumar, Priyanka Chopra and Rohit Shetty, but Kapoor doesn’t compare himself to them.
“I haven’t followed the show properly so I don’t really have any reference point, which is a good thing. I have tried creating my style [rather] than emulating anyone.
“Comparing me with Akshay sir would be an insult to him, Rohit sir is a director so he has a different way of hosting and Priyanka, being a woman, has her own style,” the actor said.
“I bring a relief, casualness to the show. I think that was missing from all seasons. The show has been very serious, what it lacked was a breathing space. I provide that,” he said.
