New Delhi: Bollywood star Arjun Kapoor has always been vocal about his familial relations. After the late legendary first female superstar of Indian cinema, Sridevi died, Arjun stood like a rock with his father Boney Kapoor and sisters Janhvi and Khushi. The actor recently spoke his heart out on how he handled the entire thing. In an interview with the Film Companion, Arjun Kapoor said, "My mother's upbringing came in my head. She would've told me to be by my father's side regardless of what obstacles we face, because of a choice he made where he fell in love. And I respect my father for falling in love again. Because love is complex. And we would be silly and churlish sitting here in 2021 saying that you only fall in love once. It's very Bollywood-ised. Love is complex, love is complicated, love isn't always about being in love." "It's about compatibility, there is friendship, there is saturation. There is unfortunate frustration, people go through different phases in life. You could have been in love with somebody, and you can fall in love with somebody after that, and that has to be understood. I don't agree... I can't say I'm okay with what my father did, because as a child I felt the repercussions, but I understand it. I can't say 'theek hai, hota hai (It's fine, these things happen)', because I will always wonder. But when I rationalise it as an older person who's dealing with his own relationship highs and lows, you understand", he added.
