Arjun Kapoor's Boss Response To Troll Who Said He "Can Never Get In Shape." Malaika Arora Reacts

Anushka Sharma and Malaika Arora praised Arjun Kapoor's befitting response to the troll’s comment on Instagram

Arjun Kapoor has always been vocal about his fitness journey over the years. Before his debut film Ishaqzaade, the actor shed several kilos and impressed fans with his transformation and toned physique. Over the years, the actor has shared his thoughts on physical fitness and body shaming with honesty and nuance, on various social media platforms. However, along with his fans and well-wishers, many of Arjun Kapoor's posts also attract the attention of internet trolls who often leave unsavoury comments. On Tuesday, one such troll commented on a photo shared by Arjun Kapoor and remarked that the actor “can never get in shape.” 

The comment was, in fact, directed towards Arjun Kapoor's trainer Drew Neal and among other things said, “You keep printing money boy. This guy can never get in shape. He is a rich boy with no mentality bro.”

Arjun Kapoor was in no mood to ignore the unwarranted comment and responded to the user's statement. He said, “So, according to people like you, being in shape is just having cuts on your body. The shift in mentality, the ability to show up and push hard, to smile through a session, to eat clean, to be disciplined in adversity, to make each session count and improve your actual health and strength and posture and the ability to push isn't the point of working out, right? We should all just look like your display picture. That's a sad way of looking at fitness. And where this mentality is concerned, I can stand up to criticism and reply face to face. I don't need to hide behind a pic of a torso.”

Arjun Kapoor further shared a screenshot of the aforementioned conversation on Instagram Stories and said, “It is because of comments and thought processes of people who hide behind keyboards like this, the world is made to believe that fitness is always about having the best-looking body and nothing else,” adding that fitness is more than that for anyone who has ever “struggled to just lead a normal healthy life and be mentally happy and calm.” This, Arjun Kapoor, said involves taking care of yourself, doing the best you can and forming a routine despite obstacles, and "not just about looking like a faceless DP."
