Arjun Kapoor Shares How 'Sardar Ka Grandson' Reminds Him Of His Childhood Memories With Grandmothers

Being an artist helps you experience the moments you didn't get a chance to live in real life and relive the memories with the characters which hold a special place in your heart. Bollywood's favourite Ishaqzaade and heartthrob, Arjun Kapoor hails from the prominent Kapoor family of the industry and so, the pressure on him to prove to be more than just a star-kid was immense. Eventually, in his career in Bollywood, close to a decade as an actor, Arjun created a niche for himself in the industry and proved his mettle as an artist, shutting everyone who doubted his talent by tagging him as a product of nepotism.

The only regret Arjun Kapoor has in his life is that his mother, Mona Shourie Kapoor couldn't see her son make a name for himself as an actor. Mona had taken her last breath a few days before the release of Arjun's debut film, Ishaqzaade. On May 11, 2021, Arjun had completed nine years of being an actor and he expressed how lost he feels without his mother by his side. In a special post for his mother, Arjun had written, "Yesterday was Mother's Day I hated every bit of it... Tomorrow is 9 years of me being an actor but I'm still lost without you Mom. Just like in this picture I hope ur smiling watching over me & u got my back..."

Thanking his first female director, Kaashvie Nair for giving him a film that shares an uncanny similarity with his grandparents' lives in various ways, Arjun Kapoor added, "I'm deeply thankful that in Sardar Ka Grandson I got a chance to be directed by the sensitive and extremely mature Kaashvie Nair, my first female director, who was also helming her first feature film! Kaashvie you have given me a film to cherish forever and be proud of. So, thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

Speaking of how the character of Sardar in the film, Sardar Ka Grandson is similar to his maternal grandmother, Arjun Kapoor concluded, "Moreover, the character of Sardar in the film is very similar to my Nani. She was actually a riot when you interacted with her and I could see her in Sardar, every step of the way! I was literally living through various phases, emotions & memories some mine some theirs. So, for me, I'm happy that through this film I have lived a bit of their lives and I hope that I have done all four of them proud through my earnestness with this film."
