Aditya Roy Kapur Gets Chatty With Rahul Gangwani on Travel, Music and Life Beyond the Movies
Aditya Roy Kapur is clear about his goals. While most of us are struggling to strike the right work-life balance, he’s not only found it but is acing it too. Movies are his first love and priority but that doesn’t mean his life revolves only around showbiz. Here’s a guy who loves being a celebrity as much as he enjoys being an anonymous traveller in faraway lands. Aditya’s recent outings at the box-office may not have fared well but that hasn’t dampened his enthusiasm. He has big plans for his career and life. From doing action movies to working in television in the West to cutting his own album… his sights are set on exploring every dimension, every direction... Excerpts from a freewheeling chat:
Unlike other actors, you seem to enjoy a life beyond films…
When a film is on, everything else takes a backseat. I give my 100 per cent to a film. I can’t shoot during the day and then party with friends at night and report on the set next morning. But I have many interests besides films. And when I’m not shooting, I like to explore those. I like to take off and visit new places. I’ve travelled a lot alone. I’ve stayed in hostels through my late teens and early 20s. I’d just go backpacking for 20 days.
