Arjun Kapoor talks about his "first and only serious relationship” with Arpita Khan

The B-town is abuzz with the rumours that 2 States co-stars Arjun Kapoor and Alia Bhatt are inseparable these days leading to possibilities of a romantic link-up. But the Ishaqzaade guy seems not to be completely over his "first and only serious relationship so far" with Arpita Khan, Salman Khan’s little sister.

Arjun was 18 when he fell for Arpita and the relationship lasted for two years. At that point of time Salman was Arjun’s mentor and he was quite scared to reveal his relationship to the superstar. Arjun said, "I was scared of Salman bhai and went and told him and the entire family as I wanted them to know from me first. They were very kind about it. He was taken aback, but he respects people and relationships. In fact, he was partial in that relationship where he would always take my side."
When his relationship ended with Arpita he again approached Salman for moral support. "I was 140 kgs, was assisting Nikhil Advani in Salaam-E-Ishq and had a girlfriend, would party and felt my life was headed in the right direction and felt sorted and thought that I would direct my film by 22, till she broke up with me and suddenly I was confused about what my future held for me. Even after breaking up, I would hang out with him. He was my friend, my father-figure, older brother, everything at that point. He was an older brother I never had and he made me realise how important it is to have an older brother,” the 28-year-old Gunday star added. Arjun has always been very close to Salman and is a frequent visitor to Khan family occasions.
