At FICCI Summit, Arjun Kapoor Urges Therapy, Details Grief and Weight-Loss Journey

He says the pandemic pushed him to start therapy after years of neglecting his mental health.

Overview

  • Speaking in Mumbai, Kapoor recounted losing his mother in 2012 just before his debut release and said he used work to flee unresolved pain as fame arrived overnight.
  • He called his 50-kilo weight loss a four-year effort that was as much a mental fight as a physical one.
  • Addressing young attendees, he pressed for normalizing therapy and said vulnerability signals strength rather than weakness.
  • He credited family support, including his sister Anshula, with helping him recognize the need for emotional healing.
  • Coverage also noted his recent film Mere Husband Ki Biwi and his slated appearance in No Entry 2, with some reports indicating the sequel is currently on hold.
