In
a time when failed marriages have become so common, actor Arjun Bijlani feels
grateful to have such a beautiful family. A father, Arjun feels that his luck
is derived from his son and his wife and he is happy to have them in his life.
“I think we are living in a time where we hear about breakups more than the
successful relationships. So I consider myself lucky. Being in the industry,
being popular, these things have never affected my relationship with my family.
I love my son and my wife and I consider them my lucky charms. Ayan is very
playful and he has a capability to bring happiness all around him,” says Arjun.
True
love is very different from lust, adds Arjun. “I think lust is temporary, it is
more of a physical attraction. Love is a very spiritual thing. You connect
deeply with someone and it is forever. So if you are really in love with
someone it will last forever but if you lust someone, then at some point it is
going to get over,” he says.
He
is considered as the hottest dad on Instagram. Ask him how this makes him feel,
and he says, “I don't know about hot, but I think I am the most loving dad. I
really love my son and dote on him completely. I think every father is hot in
his own way. If people are saying this then the only thing that I can say is,
‘Thank you very much’. I love my son unconditionally and that is what matters.”
The
actor, who has been seen in shows such as Left Right Left, Miley Jab Hum Tum,
Meri Aashiqui Tum Se Hi, says that being part of Naagin was the turning point
for him. “It changed my career. I think it was overdue. I have been part of the
industry since for many years. I am happy that I was a part of such a huge
success on television. I also hope that the future projects turn out to be the
same. Every show cannot be a super hit but every character can inspire many and
that is what I focus on. I never concentrate on if the show is hit or not. I
work on my character,” he says.
Talking
about his future plans, he says, “I have just signed a new show on Colors and I
am committed to that now. This time, I play a very different character. I am
also going to take up a lot of events for hosting”
The
actor, who was seen in the dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa last year,
says that his dancing skills have become better after the show. “I have given a
lot of dancing performances as well. I have been rehearsing so much. Jhalak was
a learning process and I have worked really hard. I put in many hours of
practice for the show and I did get a lot better,” he says.
He
has looked his best since the time he entered the industry. Arjun says that a
regular work out is his secret. “A proper work out and balanced diet is
important. You are what you eat. You can have cheat days, but you can't have
that often. You have to work out according to your weight and then enjoy. So it
is a two-way process,” he says.
The
actor adds that fashion is something you need to follow keeping your body type
in mind. “You have to exactly know your body, you have to know your own swag
and dress accordingly. Just don't try to overdo things, it is not stylish,” he
says.
An
actor’s life is public and his fans make sure to know everything about him. But
Arjun tells us things which no one knows. “I am an open book and my fans know
everything about me. But here there are some things that I can tell them. I
love Motichur laddoos, that is the one sweet I cannot resist. The second thing
is that I watch television shows and films till late at night. The third thing
is that sometimes I lie to my trainer about my diet and have a cheat day where
I eat a lot of chocolate ice cream,” he says
