Arjun Kapoor reveals Hashimoto’s diagnosis, talks about weight fluctuations: “I can see me changing over the course of the films”

Arjun Kapoor, who has made a massive comeback with his role as Danger Lanka in Singham Again has been lauded by critics and fans alike for his work. In a recent interview, he opened up about the significant physical and mental challenges that have shaped his life both on and off the screen.

Recently, in a chat with The Hollywood Reporter, Arjun revealed his diagnosis of Hashimoto’s, an autoimmune disorder that complicates his ability to maintain weight and impacts his overall health. “It’s almost like I can take a flight and gain weight because the body goes into stress,” he explained.

Reflecting on his career, Arjun recalls the challenges of balancing back-to-back projects while his body struggled to keep up. “I was doing Tevar and Ki & Ka, and it started showing up during Half Girlfriend and Mubarakan because I was shooting constantly,” he shared, adding that his body began to change in ways beyond his control. “If I look back today, I can see me changing over the course of the films.”

This condition, along with the stress of constantly working, has left its mark on his physique and, at times, his mental health. “She did diagnose me with mild depression at that point of time, which is very circumstantial… because the physical part of it was something that took a toll on me.”

With several hits behind him, Arjun reflects on how difficult it can be for people to remember his past successes amid personal health struggles. His openness highlights a resilience often hidden behind his on-screen persona, serving as a reminder of his dedication and talent, which have endured through complex and challenging times.
