Renowned Bollywood actor Aditya Roy Kapur recently graced the hot seat opposite Kareena Kapoor Khan on her popular chat show, ‘What Women Want’. The actor, known for his charismatic screen presence and versatile acting skills, chose to open up about a topic frequently speculated upon—his current relationship status.
Kareena Kapoor Khan, ever the probing host, made sure she left no stone unturned in her quest to uncover details about Kapur’s personal life, a subject of immense curiosity among his fans. Directly addressing the question that hangs over many celebrities, she jokingly questioned whether the actor considered himself to be commitment-phobic.
Aditya Roy Kapur, known for his laid-back demeanor, responded with his trademark wit. “My status? Is chilling a status? Well, I am a chiller!” he quipped, deflecting with a hint of humor. However, seriousness soon took over as he denied the common speculation that he is averse to long-term relationships. “I can’t say I am commitment-phobic because I have had long relationships when I was younger, through my 20s. Some of those lasted five or three years,” he explained.
Refuting the notion that solitude should drive one to seek companionship, Kapur shared his philosophy on relationships. “You have to be truly compelled to get into something with someone,” he elaborated. “It should be about wanting it genuinely, not about filling a void or escaping loneliness. If the desire to partner with someone is absent, it’s a rational decision to wait.”
Kapur’s reflection on relationships comes at a time when his career is equally in the spotlight, with much anticipation surrounding his latest project. On the work front, Kapur is gearing up for the release of ‘Metro In Dino’, a much-awaited film that showcases the complexities of human relationships in modern times. Directed by the talented Anurag Basu, the anthology film boasts an impressive ensemble cast including Sara Ali Khan, Ali Fazal, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Pankaj Tripathi, and Konkona Sen Sharma.
‘Metro.
…In Dino’ marks Kapur’s second collaboration with Basu, following their previous success with ‘Ludo’. The film’s title is an ode to the memorable song ‘In Dino’ from ‘Life in a… Metro’, another compelling narrative by Basu. The storyline promises to reflect contemporary themes, infused with both heartache and hope, laying bare the bittersweet dynamics of human interactions.
Director Anurag Basu has conveyed his enthusiasm for the project, stating in a press release, “Metro In Dino is a tale of the people and for the people! This is a project close to my heart, and I am thrilled to be working once again with Bhushan Kumar, whose unwavering support has been pivotal.”
The collaboration with renowned music composer Pritam brings an added layer of anticipation. “Music plays a crucial role in storytelling, and I am overjoyed to join forces with Pritam, whose compositions breathe life into storylines and characters,” expressed Basu.
Known for crafting narratives that blend humor with poignancy, Basu’s directorial ventures such as ‘Barfi’, ‘Life In a Metro’, ‘Ludo’, and ‘Jagga Jasoos’ have earned critical acclaim, setting a high bar for audience expectations. ‘Metro In Dino’ is set to follow the path of his previous successes, offering a narrative that deeply resonates with viewers.
As Kapur continues to navigate both personal and professional lanes, his candid conversation with Kareena Kapoor Khan sheds light on the star beyond the silver screen. While his relationship philosophy underscores a thoughtful approach to love and companionship, his upcoming film promises yet another compelling performance, echoing the complex tapestry of life and love.
