Bollywood’s
newcomer
Armaan
Jain's
debut
film
is
ready
to
take
off
but
his
love
life
is
yet
to
begin.
Armaan
Jain
says
that
he
has
never
had
girlfriend
probably
because
he
was
over
weight.
His
way
of
looking
at
not
having
any
girlfriend
is
because
he
was
fat.
"I've
never
had
a
girlfriend.
It
sounds
very
funny
but
I
haven't.
I
don't
know
why.
It
was
probably
because
I
was
around
95
kilos,
so
no
one
probably
looked
at
me.
After
that
also,
all
the
girls
I
knew
made
me
their
brother.
They
tied
me
rakhi.
And
I
started
working
very
young.
I
was
focused.
I
didn't
have
time
to
go
out
also," Armaan,
who
assisted
filmmaker
Karan
Johar
when
he
was
a
teenager,
said.
Armaan
Jain
confesses
that
he
has
not
lost
weight
to
get
a
girlfriend
but
to
pursue
his
dream
of
acting.
"I
was
really
fat.
I
wanted
to
pursue
acting.
I
realised
that
I
had
to
stop
eating
at
some
point
and
get
serious
with
gymming
and
diet,"
said
the
football
lover.
Son
of
the
investment
banker
Manoj
Jain
and
Rima,
daughter
of
Raj
Kapoor
didn’t
know
how
his
parents
would
react
when
he
quit
his
education
and
join
film
industry.
Infact,
it
came
as
a
surprise
for
them
though
they
fully
support
and
are
proud
of
his
decision.
"I
was
nervous
before
telling
my
parents.
They
never
thought
I
would
take
this
decision.
They
were
anxious
as
in
how
will
I
learn
the
craft.
But
they
have
been
very
supportive.
They
told
me
to
follow
my
passion
and
that
they
would
back
me
up
as
long
as
I
work
hard," he
said.
Armaan,
who
left
business
management
course
midway
to
build
a
career
in
the
film
industry,
says
his
weight
fluctuates
often."Before
going
to
college
I
had
lost
weight.
I
put
on
12
kg
again
and
then
I
lost
again.
It's
been
going
up
and
down.
My
lowest
was
66
kg.
I
put
on
weight
and
then
I
lose.
"It's
like
music.
I
have
personal
best
after
every
two
weeks.
My
favourite
was
'Khalifa'
and
now
it's
'Mawwali
qawwali'.
My
weight
fluctuates
every
week,"
said
Armaan,
who
was
the
student
of
London's
Regents
College.
Being
related
to
the
Kapoor
family
of
Bollywood
might
seem
like
a
life
full
of
movies
and
songs,
but
he
says
that
it
wasn't
so.
"Growing
up
was
not
filmy
or
watching
too
many
films.
Coming
from
an
investment
banking
background,
for
me
it
was
more
of
watching
stock
markets
than
films.
It
was
more
of
watching
sports
than
movies.
For
me,
it
was
never
about
taking
tips
or
advices.
It's
about
discovering
myself," said
Armaan.
The
grandson
of
late
actor-filmmaker
Raj
Kapoor
is
all
set
to
make
his
acting
debut
with
Arif
Ali's
Lekar
Hum
Deewana
Dil
also
featuring
Deeksha
Seth
which
will
release
on
July
4.
