Actor Tarun Raj Arora, who played the character of Anshuman in Imtiaz Ali's film 'Jab We Met', recently spoke about the film as it completed 10 years on Wednesday. The actor who made the audience loathe his character recalled the shooting days that also marked the end of the real-life romance between actors Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan.
“The tough time in their relationship did not affect the shooting, but I could see that things were a bit weird. When you have a couple on set, you expect them to be a little lovey-dovey and happy. There was an air of discomfort. However, I thought that they are serious actors and didn’t let their personal equation affect their work. They did not even joke with each other,” said Tarun.
He further spoke about being a model before beginning his career as a film actor. "I worked very hard as a model but when it came to acting, I didn’t have a godfather and hence made some random choices. I didn’t know which film to select and made the worst choice['Hawas' (2004)]for my launch. Thus, I changed my profession and moved to hospitality. I went to Bangalore and opened a restaurant. That’s when Jab We Met came my way,” said the actor.
