Recently
when
Arjun
Kapoor
appeared
as
a
guest
on
the
Clubhouse
session
with
The
Bollywood
Film
Club,
moderated
by
Janice
Sequeira
and
Aniruddha
Guha,
the
actor
recounted
his
journey
from
working
as
an
assistant
director
to
becoming
an
actor.
Arjun
said
he
thought
being
an
assistant
director
would
be
an
easy
job,
however,
he
initially
turned
out
to
be
a
horrible
one.
At
the
same
time,
he
also
admitted
being
'privileged'
while
starting
his
journey
in
films
as
he
was
allowed
to
make
mistakes
without
consequences
which
had
bigger
ramifications.
"I
was
a
terrible
assistant
when
I
started
out.
I
was
horrible.
I
thought
it
would
be
a
piece
of
cake
and
I
hate
saying
this,
much
like
somebody
who
has
grown
up
in
an
environment
that
is
sheltered,
I
was
sheltered,
I
was
protected
and
I
was
privileged.
Privileged
does
not
only
mean
the
financial
aspect
of
it,
it
is
about
the
security
that
you
have
from
knowing
you
can
make
mistakes
and
stumble
and
learn
along
the
way
even
without
getting
a
qualification
in
place.
I
was
allowed
to
do
those
things,
I
was
allowed
to
make
my
mistakes
without
consequences
that
have
bigger
ramifications," Arjun
said.
Arjun
also
revealed
that
before
working
as
an
assistant
director,
he
first
gave
editing
a
shot
and
cut
trailers
for
his
father's
production
Shakti:
The
Power
which
starred
Karisma
Kapoor,
Nana
Patekar
and
Shah
Rukh
Khan.
Further,
the
Sandeep
Aur
Pinky
Faraar
actor
also
recounted
his
days
as
an
assistant
director
on
the
sets
of
Kal
Ho
Naa
Ho
and
said
that
he
made
for
a
terrible
one.
However,
Arjun
was
in
love
in
the
process
and
got
better
with
Advani's
next
outing
Salaam-e-Ishq.
The
actor
said,
"I
became
an
assistant
on
Kal
Ho
Naa
Ho
and
I
was
a
terrible
one.
Terrible
in
the
sense,
I
used
to
sleep
off
on
set,
I
used
to
walk
in
after
Nikkhil
sir,
I
used
to
do
things
that
could
be
done
in
15
minutes
over
four
hours.
I
was
just
not
very
good
but
on
set,
I
was
very
in
love
with
the
process.
Then,
I
started
working
on
Salaam-e-Ishq,
I
got
better.
So,
I
learnt
on
the
job
and
I
realised
that
I
want
to
make
films
in
some
capacity
or
the
other."
Speaking
about
Arjun
Kapoor's
upcoming
projects,
the
actor
will
next
be
seen
in
Pawan
Kripalani's
Bhoot
Police
and

Suri's

Villain
Returns.
