Pooja Bhatt stands for Arjun Kapoor after Arnab Goswami calls him, ‘a small actor’

Pooja Bhatt comes to Arjun Kapoor’s rescue as she replies to Arnab Goswami referring Arjun as a ‘small time actor’ on his debate last night. Without naming Kapoor or Goswami, Pooja posted a series of tweets.

On Thursday, journalist Arnab Goswami in his prime time debate show passed a comment on Arjun Kapoor which made the actor trend on social media. Arnab gave his take on BMC’s demolition drive at Kangana’s Bandra office within 24 hours of having served a notice, which was not right. The Republic TV chief went on discussing some old cases related to the claimed ‘illegal extension’ on properties held by some famous celebrities. Goswami referred to a list of other celebs who had faced the wrath of the BMC but nothing major happened with them, when compared to Kangana Ranaut, he said. Starting with Arjun Kapoor, Arnab began by calling him a ‘small time actor’, he also claimed he doesn’t know ‘who that person is’. Pooja Bhatt showed her dissent on this as she belongs to the same fraternity. She took it to her twitter handle to keep forward ger take to the entire thing. Pooja, in a series of tweets not only condemned the comment but also went on to call actors as warriors.

Pooja Bhatt who is often seen voicing out her opinions, tweeted, “I agree with @mehtahansal when he says “Nobody is a small time actor”. People use terms like the above & ‘out of work’ actor, ‘B’ or ‘C’ grade actor as a means to dismiss & degrade.The joy & trial of being an actor/artist is that at some point you are going to be out of work.” She continued, “That’s what makes ALL artistes across board such courageous people. To constantly embrace uncertainty, to plod on & put your best face forward even after enduring failure. To follow your heart & hone your art no matter how average or brilliant people think you are-that takes guts.”

In her another tweet she stated “So here’s to the artists, the makers, the entertainers, the believers. We are warriors! Our tools are our hearts, our senses. Our strength is our vulnerability, our capacity to fall & rise again. Success is temporary, failure guaranteed & we still do what we do. Not everyone’s cup of tea.”

Here’s the tweet:

For the unversed, in 2017, BMC demolished Arjun Kapoor’s terrace in Juhu, which had a make-shift gym. The civic body had issued a notice to the actor encroaching on the terrace by constructing a 30-by-16 sq ft brick room without permission.
