Aditya Roy Kapur has been making headlines recently for his role in the series The Night Manager, in which he co-starred with Anil Kapoor and Sobhita Dhulipala, among others. The series also marked Kapur’s debut on an OTT platform. While fans were excited to see the actor back on screen, some of them crossed the line when they saw him in person.
A few days ago, a fan of Aditya Roy Kapur forcefully tried to kiss him after he obliged to take a picture with her. The woman joined a few other fans to take pictures with the actor, and after the photo was taken, she attempted to kiss him on the cheek. While Aditya managed to pull away, she tried to kiss him again.
Now, the actor has opened up about the situation in an interview. Speaking with The Indian Express, Aditya said, “To be honest, I didn’t get too frazzled by it. It was just something I had to handle in the moment. She was strong, let’s put it like that, so I did have to handle it. But I can understand it. I don’t look at it from the eye where I’ll criticize it or say it’s wrong. I can understand it, that this person is feeling this affection and I guess that’s how she wanted to express it. At that moment I just felt it needed to be handled. But I didn’t lose any sleep over it or give it more (thought) than it needed.”
Aditya also commented on the decision to divide The Night Manager into two parts. Several netizens were disappointed that the makers did not release the entire show in one go. Responding to this, he told the publication, “Well, this is a question one must pose to the platform. I think I’m looking at the bright side of it. The unanimous reaction to me is, ‘wow, it’s great. But we were dying to see the next one.’ I’m just looking at that as a positive. I’m like, ‘Ok that feels like people really, really want to watch more.’ And as a series, that’s a good place to be where people want to see the next episode. I’m taking it as a positive. But, for sure I can understand your plight.”
Aditya’s comments about the incident with the fan have been received positively, with many people commending him for his level-headed response. While some celebrities may have reacted angrily or harshly to a similar situation, Aditya chose to understand where the fan was coming from and handle the situation calmly. Many fans have also expressed their appreciation for his performance in The Night Manager, and are eagerly waiting for the next episode to be released.
In the world of celebrity, situations like the one Aditya faced are unfortunately all too common. Fans may feel a sense of ownership over their favorite stars, and may sometimes overstep boundaries in their attempts to express their admiration. It is important for celebrities to handle these situations with care and compassion, as Aditya did, while still maintaining their personal boundaries.
Overall, Aditya Roy Kapur’s comments about the incident with the fan serve as a reminder of the importance of treating celebrities with respect and kindness, even when expressing admiration or excitement. As fans eagerly await the release of the next episode of The Night Manager, Aditya’s fans can rest assured that their favorite star is handling the attention with grace and understanding.
