Arjun, who was part of TV shows like Girls on Top on MTV and Phir Bhi Na Maane… Badtameez Dil on Star Plus, switched his career from an actor to a radio jockey!
The reason behind this sudden change is his desire to explore all the mediums of entertainment. Talking about the career change, he says, “My last TV show Girls on Top and first web series Shaadi Boys came together. But, I wanted to meet the artiste within me and also people to meet the real Arjun too. People do radio and then head towards television, but I did it the other way around. I want to explore all the mediums of entertainment.”
Ask him what is it like to be a RJ and he quips, “It is more than just talking; it’s about connecting with the listener within seconds and making sure you give them something to think about, to laugh about or cry about. It’s a beautiful way to find yourself and your own viewpoint.”
Remembering one of his favourite interviews with celebs, Arjun adds, “It’s definitely Imtiaz Ali and the late Irrfan Khan, whose interviews I enjoyed the most. People say Shahid Kapoor is a little tough to crack on interviews but I had one of the best times with him during Batti Gul Meter Chalu.”
