Arjun Kapoor is all gear4ed up for his upcoming release Half Girlfriend, alongside Shraddha Kapoor. The actor has completed 5 years in the tinsel town today, hence we decided to look back at 5 of the wittiest statements made by him. Here they go;

1. When he gave it back to the trolls: There was an instance where Arjun Kapoor found himself at the receiving end of social media trolls. A spoof video where he's referred to as 'Boney Ka Launda' had gone viral. It suggests Arjun's success is courtesy his father, veteran producer Boney Kapoor. But far from being upset or angry, the young actor seems happy with the nickname. "I am very proud to be Boney Ka Launda. Why should I be apologetic about being such an amazing man's son? If it makes a few people laugh, so be it. It is somebody else's thoughts on me. I never flaunt his [father's] tag. I never proclaim whose son I am, nor am I doing all my films with him. People are pigeonholing me for humour; I am fine with that. Aaj yeh bolenge, kal kuchh aur bolenge." Quoting lines from the hit '70s song, Kuch toh log kahenge, logon ka kaam hai kehna, Arjun insists he is "chilled about criticism"

2. No hunger to be seen every time on silver screen: About his desire to do more films, "There is no hunger to be seen and being noticed every time. I am waiting for the correct script, you don't have to be jumping around and signing films just because you don't have work"

3. Nepotism exists in every field: He said, "In every business, parents want their children to be a part of their profession and if the child is interested, then they educate him and make him capable of working in their profession. It happens in all the fields.” Arjun didn’t deny that nepotism exists in Bollywood. “Of course, it is a bit easier for us, but at the end of the day, it is business. A director won’t take us at a point of time where we are not saleable. So you have to be worth it,” added the actor.

4. Love for cinema: Arjun Kapoor has grown up living, breathing and loving cinema. He not only understands the business of cinema, but is also a Bollywood trivia buff. Arjun has an amazing ability to remember box office figures as well as the release dates of films. Arjun's number memory goes beyond just his own movies. Anyone willing to know anything about the industry, just call up Arjun. "Be it releases, box office collections or general information, knowing about films is a matter of habit for me," he had stated.

5. Why Chetan Bhagat connects with the masses: Arjun Kapoor says Chetan Bhagat knows how to connect with Indian readers. “Love happens in colleges, life hits you at that age too. So, anyone who hears the synopsis of a quintessential Chetan Bhagat novel will say this has happened to him or someone he knows. That's where he wins and establishes a relationship with his fans.Chetan is an intelligent writer, one who knows how to tap into the mindset of Indian readers. People must acknowledge he has cracked the code, making him saleable as well as relatable."
