"I can't say I'm okay with what my father did, because as a child I felt the repercussions, but I understand it.," Arjun said.
Actor Arjun Kapoor, who was last seen in 'Sardar Ka Grandson' released on Netflix, says that despite him not being okay with his father Boney Kapoor leaving his mother Mona and marrying late actor Sridevi, he "understands" and respects his father for falling in love again.
In a recent interview, Arjun opened up about his differences with his father Boney and broke silence on why he decided to stand by him and half-sisters Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor in their hour of grief when Sridevi passed away.
Stating that having to deal with his own relationship highs and lows, he understands and knows how people grow out of love and fall for someone else gradually, however, he will never be fine with him leaving his mom Mona Shourie Kapoor to be with Sridevi.
In his latest interview with Film Companion, Arjun said, "I can't say I'm okay with what my father did, because as a child I felt the repercussions, but I understand it. I can't say 'theek hai, hota hai (It's fine, this happens)', because I will always wonder. But when I rationalise it as an older person who's dealing with his own relationship's highs and lows, you understand."
On why he stood by his father in 2018 when Sridevi passed away, Arjun said because that is what his mother would have expected of him. He said he cannot be questioning the choices of someone but he cannot do away with what he experienced as a child because of those choices.
Arjun said, "My mother's upbringing came in my head. She would've told me to be by my father's side regardless of what obstacles we face, because of a choice he made where he fell in love. And I respect my father for falling in love again. Because love is complex. And we would be silly and churlish sitting here in 2021 saying that you only fall in love once. It's very Bollywood-ised. Love is complex, love is complicated, love isn't always about being in love."
For the unversed, Arjun is currently in a steady relationship with Malaika Arora. The duo made their relationship official on Arjun's 34th birthday via a social media post.
