Arjun Kapoor reveals teenage obsession: “Bought Mohabbatein tickets in black during class 8 or 9!”

Arjun Kapoor, currently basking in the success of his latest release, Singham Again, recently shared a nostalgic anecdote about his teenage years, revealing a heartwarming tale of youthful exuberance and cinematic passion. In an interview with Pinkvilla, the actor recounted a memorable experience of watching Shah Rukh Khan’s Mohabbatein in a packed theatre, a moment that continues to hold a special place in his heart.

“I think, the one experience I remember is when Mohabbatein was released, and we couldn’t get tickets outside Chandan Cinema; we bought them at the black market. There were ten of us, and it was also during the Diwali holidays,” Arjun recalled.

The excitement of watching a film in a packed theatre, especially during the festive season, was a unique experience for a generation that grew up in the pre-digital era. Arjun reminisced about those carefree days, saying, “I was in class 8 or 9. I was never good at studies. In those days, when exams get over, we used to make plans of watching movies together. It was a big deal back then. I remember, our exams got over on Thursday and Mohabbatein was released on Friday.”  Mohabbatein, he said, was special. “Mohabbatein has also a lot of emotional value for me. The music, the introduction, everything about the film, I remember so clearly.”

On the work front, Arjun Kapoor is yet to announce his next project.
