Arjun Kapoor: Stardom Hasn’t Reduced But The Definition Of It Has Changed

Needless to say, changes in cinema trends have been manifest with the passage of time. Recently, actor Arjun Kapoor, who will soon be seen alongside Shraddha Kapoor in Mohit Suri’s ‘Half Girlfriend’, stated that he feels that the very definition of stardom has changed over the years. The actor also gave opinion on the usage of English language taking over Hindi language.

“We can never recreate the situation of the past era now; everybody is tangible and touchable”, Arjun was quoted as saying. The actor added, “That unknown, untouchable aspect of stardom is gone. That happened because they want to know more about us. Stardom hasn’t reduced but the definition of it has changed”.

Arjun will be seen playing a boy who hails from a rural background in ‘Half Girlfriend’. The actor believes that the film has a message that needs to be told. “I think it’s very important because we are all so entrenched in Western culture today. In the digital age, Hindi as a language, has got lost somewhere, specially in cities. I feel it is important to know your mother tongue. I am not saying English is bad, but I think people are not giving importance to Hindi because every day its losing usage. Today English has become a necessity. I cannot blame anyone for that but it’s rather unfortunate”, Arjun stated.

‘Half Girlfriend’ will release on May 19. The romantic drama is based on Chetan Bhagat’s novel of the same name.
