I want to own a house in New York, says Arjun Kapoor

One film old actor Arjun Kapoor has no qualms in admitting his love for the good life. "After all, it is what we all aspire for," says the young star. Busy shooting for Aurangzeb at present, the actor will soon begin shooting for his next Gunday. On screen, we’ve seen him click, here Arjun talks about what keeps him going off the screen...

What entails living the good life for you?
Making the most of what you’ve got. I feel that if you are making enough money then you must enjoy it too. I believe in living a luxurious life reasonably well, it’s also to some extent a part of our lifestyle as actors.

How brand conscious are you?
I am very clued in about brands, but I am not brand conscious, I am comfort conscious. I look for comfort more than anything else. I have a certain taste, but am not averse to picking up something from the street if I like it.

What do you do to destress?
I like being on the sets even when I am not shooting, so I like to hang out, interact with technicians, and stuff like that. I don’t like sleeping in the day, so I pretty much keep myself busy. I love to watch movies, play games, watch TV shows, catch up with friends, workout...
I also love to travel.

What are your favourite destinations?
London and New York. NY especially, feels like home. I feel like I have a deep connection with the place. I want to own a house in NY someday. It’s aspirational.

So when was the last time you travelled?
It was last year in September, when I’d gone to New York with my sister. I haven’t holidayed in a long while, but I have a lot of places on my wish list. I would love to explore Europe, I also want to go to Turkey and Australia. In fact, I am looking forward to a lot more travelling for shoots. I love beaches, and I also want to try each and everything I can in adventure sports that I couldn’t earlier because of my weight (laughs).

You are very regular with workouts?
Yes, very disciplined. I make it a point to workout daily, six days a week. If I am shooting in the vicinity of a gym, I make it a point to go and check it out too.

What’s your indulgence?
Eating! I’m an absolute foodie at heart and so besides travelling, eating is like pure indulgence for me.
