'Feels great to survive in this ‘cut-throat’ industry:' Arjun Kapoor on completing 10 years in showbiz

Arjun Kapoor, the son of filmmaker Boney Kapoor, debuted in Bollywood with the film Ishaqzaade (2012) ten years ago. In the YRF film, he made his acting debut alongside Parineeti Chopra. Arjun Kapoor is celebrating his tenth year in the film business today. The actor appreciated everyone who encouraged him to believe in himself. He posted a heartfelt note on Instagram on this special day.

Sharing unseen pictures from the sets of his debut film, Ishaqzaade, he wrote in the caption, “10 years of living and breathing Hindi cinema every second of my life. Truly indebted to Adi sir, yrf and my director #HabibFaisal for giving me #Ishaqzaade - a movie that turbo-charged my dream to be a Hindi film hero! A big thank you to parineetichopra for being the most amazing first co-star one could ever get. Last but not the least, also thankful to shanoosharmarahihai for finding and helping me audition for Yash Raj Films. Many memories, huge nostalgia and overwhelming love - this film just keeps on giving. Thank you everyone for making an under-confident kid believe in himself! As an artiste, I'm proud to say that I am a #WorkInProgress, with each film being a learning opportunity to get better at my craft. Really fortunate to have got producers and directors who have punted on me time and time again. It has been one hell of a ride. Many ups, many downs. Counting my blessings along the way. Here's to a decade of trying my best to entertain you all, with the promise of trying even harder in the future. Thank you everyone for the love, the smiles, the tears, the support and the kindness. Love you.”
