Arjun opens up about wanting to feel validated

Arjun has spoken about positivity and genuine love. He said, “I have waited for a long time patiently and respectfully to be loved and appreciated. I think my debut was met with so much love, somewhere, I just wanted to rekindle that feeling. I’m just taking it one day at a time. Whether it’s in interviews or just regular people who call me by the character’s name; you want to feel validated. So I’m really enjoying this phase. There is a positivity, an energy, an excitement, and genuine love. You still have to work hard on the next opportunities and pick the opportunities responsibly.”

Arjun shares last few years were difficult for him

The actor also opened up about people wanting to cheer for him. “I have also believed that there is love out there for me. There are people who want to cheer for me and want to support me. I’m talking about the paying audience at this point, along with the industry and the media. Perhaps, the surge of goodwill and excitement comes from ‘good prevailing over evil’ in that sense. Eventually, there are enough good people, and there’s enough goodness in this world where they are backing you. The last couple of years or even the last five years have been difficult for me,” he added.
