Acting in films is not all that actor Arjun Kapoor has his plate full with.

We would be lying if we said that we weren’t surprised when actor Arjun Kapoor was announced as one of the collaborators of Studio B. Not because he is any less stylish than others of his ilk, but because he has been one actor who has proved that it is fine not to succumb to the pressure of looking a certain way or dressing up like others. But, come to think of it, this could be excatly why he was chosen to be onboard when the rules of fashion, art and music is being rewritten. Excerpts from an interview with Arjun where he talks about style and silverscreen.

What is your personal style? Is there something that you avoid wearing?

I am not comfortable in the clothes I am wearing, it’s not going to look stylish. I should feel a sense of belongingness with that piece of garment. I avoid wearing skinny jeans and very tight clothes.

What is your look for the most happening party of the season?

A black suit paired with a white shirt. You can never go wrong with that. Coupled with sharp shoes, a nice haircut, trimmed beard go a long way in making you look good. Having said that, you can choose to wear a coloured suit too, just be comfortable in it. Just have fun.

Why do you think there is so much body shaming still?

It takes time for people to change the way they think. The first impulse is to go by certain visual appeal that we’ve been surrounded with for years. The change is inevitable and it’s slightly easier for us to be ourselves, and unapologetically so. And, who are we to judge what the other person should look like or wear or how they should live. To each their own, as long as a certain decorum is maintained.

Do you think the narrative is changing and fashion is becoming inclusive?
