In the 15 years that you have seen him on screen, Aditya Roy Kapur has gone from being an Afro-haired VJ, to playing supporting, albeit crucial, roles in box office hits, to coming into his own as an A-list star (and hello, washboard abs!). His stint as the main lead—starting with Aashiqui 2 in 2013—has been a somewhat curvy graph, complete with some delightful crests as well as some plateaus (including a two-year hiatus in 2017). But Aditya isn’t losing sleep over the analytics—he’s learnt to maintain equilibrium through both. “I don’t even know what failure is, honestly!” he jokes as he sits down for this interview. “It’s about how you look at everything. They’re all just experiences, and every film I’ve done has taught me so much!”
As we chat, Aditya is on the verge of his third release of 2020, Ludo, and, for someone who normally likes to “fly under the radar”, the elusive 33-year-old is everywhere these days—including his own Instagram account! We bring it up. “I’m happy to post on social media for work, but otherwise I can’t keep up with it,” he laughs. “I just don’t gravitate towards the spotlight...it doesn’t flow naturally for me!”
