Arpita Khan and Arjun Kapoor were in a serious relationship, Kapoor recently revealed.
Khan, the sister of Salman Khan, started seeing Kapoor a decade ago.
The relationship lasted for two years, Kapoor said.
“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,” he told the Times of India.
“Till she broke up with me and suddenly I was confused about what my future held for me.”
The father figure in his life, Salman Bhai, helped him out during that time, Kapoor also revealed.
“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 last call my mother made from the hospital bed was to Salman Bhai,” Kapoor said.
“She knew about her condition by then. She thanked him for me having become an actor because of him. He told her that he would take her abroad but within a week, she passed away. He came to the funeral. Till he had come, the media was standing almost on top of the pyre. But he came and ensured I got some privacy. When he came home that day, it was the tightest hug I have ever given him.”
