Newcomer
Armaan
Jain's
debut
film
is
ready
to
take
off
but
his
love
life
is
yet
to
begin.
The
23-year-old
confesses
that
he
has
never
been
in
a
relationship,
probably
due
to
his
weight.
The
grandson
of
late
actor-filmmaker
Raj
Kapoor
is
set
to
make
his
acting
debut
with
Arif
Ali's
Lekar
Hum
Deewana
Dil
and
said
that
girls
were
probably
not
attracted
to
him
as
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," said
Armaan.
"And
I
started
working
very
young.
I
was
focused.
I
didn't
have
time
to
go
out
also,"
added
Armaan.
If
not
for
girlfriend's
sake,
the
son
of
investment
banker
Manoj
Jain
and
Raj
Kapoor's
daughter
Rima,
chose
to
cut
down
on
fat
to
become
an
actor.
"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.
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," said
the
Lekar
Hum
Deewana
Dil
actor.
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.
His
decision
to
quit
education
and
join
the
film
industry
came
as
a
surprise
to
his
parents
but
they
were
proud
of
him
and
supportive.
"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.
Lekar
Hum
Deewana
Dil,
also
featuring
Deeksha
Seth,
is
set
to
release
July
4.
