Emotional video of Arjun Kapoor talking about his mother's demise goes viral amid trolling over trending meme
A video of Arjun Kapoor 's blank stare from the 2017 Half Girlfriend press conference with Shraddha Kapoor went viral, sparking yet another round of cruel online trolling. Fans are bombarding his Instagram with GIFs and memes because of the clip, so he had to disable comments. Due to a string of his unsuccessful movies, Arjun was previously trolled as well. Amidst this, an old video of Arjun has come to light again, showing him becoming emotional as he talks about his mother. In the video, he claims that losing a parent may change a person's life in a video from his interview with Raj Shamani that has been making headlines online. He said that although he respects the privileged life that God and his parents have given him, no luxury in the world can ever make up for the emptiness in his life. Arjun further confessed that while certain things came to him easily, his life has not been without trauma. He reflected on the absence of his mother, sharing that unlike others who can rest their heads in their mother's lap, he can never experience that again. Though blessed with many things, the void of not having his mother remains irreplaceable, and no matter how much he prays, she will never return. As soon as the clip started doing the rounds on social media, netizens commented on it. One user shared it on X, writing, "He may be a failed actor, he may be an egoistic nepokid, but at the end of the day he is still a human. The one doing social media trolling doesn't realize to what extent it can affect someone. We should now stop chasing him." Another user wrote, "Exactly! Criticism alag cheez hai, lekin character assassination aur nonstop trolling insaan ko mentally break kar deti hai." The actor had received more trolling than even KRK and Tony Kakkar, according to comments. Character assassination and constant trolling can mentally destroy a person, despite the fact that criticism is different. Another person pointed out that he and Abhishek Bachchan are both unnecessarily trolled. About Arjun's widely shared meme When asked about filming in Bihari at the 2017 Half Girlfriend press conference, Arjun first thoughtfully responded about the friendliness of the locals. Then, a journalist said, "Kya baat hai!" which attracted Arjun's attention. "Tune bola, kya baat hai?" he asked, looking up and down at the journalist with a straight, allegedly blank gaze. Arjun chuckled and remarked, "I did not even say anything," after the journalist hesitantly accepted that he was afraid. Regarding his career, Arjun most recently portrayed Ankur Chaddha in the romantic comedy Mere Husband Ki Biwi, which starred Bhumi Pednekar and Rakul Preet Singh. Arjun received honors for his performance as Danger Lanka in Rohit Shetty's Singham Again last year. "Get the latest updates on Times of India, including reviews of the movie Coolie and War 2 ."
