Man On Fire

IF YOU KNEW ADITYA ROY KAPUR, you’d know that he’s a happy-go-lucky person, easy going and cordial, with no hang-ups one would normally associate with a star. And that feels like fresh summer showers every time you meet him. At the photoshoot we’re doing at a studio in the ‘burbs, our glasses are fogging up, the mercury is rising. Clearly, he’s the ultimate drool dude. If the reaction of the girls at the shoot is anything to go by. They are slack-jawed, weak-kneed and behave themselves only because they have to contend with their seniors. He however, is oblivious of the effect he’s having on them. The photoshoot is a breeze. He’s open to suggestions and has ideas of his own. He’s a sex symbol who is unaware of the fact and, what’s more, doesn’t care about it even. While he understands that a star has to look good, like all the time, even while rushing to catch a plane, he candidly admits that all this padding doesn’t matter, if you aren’t able to perform in front of the camera. That he has oodles of talent is beyond doubt now. He showcased no performance anxiety whatsoever shooting with the stalwart Anil Kapoor in the recent OTT series,
