COVER STORY
material. But I had a good time
designing the house and stuff
like that. (Chuckles) But then
I realised, I had to run it also.
So, I made Anand do it.HOW DID YOU MEET HIM AND WHEN DID
YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM?
My friends were trying to set
me up with Anand’s best friend.
That’s how I met him. The first
time I met Anand was while
I was busy with the promotions
of Prem Ratan Dhan Payo
(2015). One evening my friends
conned me into visiting a bar
at the Taj. I went there quite
irritated. When I reached there,
I realised my friends had called
these two - three boys whom
I had no interest in meeting.
I was like, ‘I don’t want to date
anybody. I don’t believe in
marriage and all this nonsense’.
I saw Anand and his friend. His
friend was tall like me, liked
reading like me and was a huge
fan of Hindi movies. He was an
educated and a nice guy. But he
reminded me too much of my
brother Harsh (Kapoor). I was
like, ‘Dude, he’s Harsh. I’m not
going to date this guy’.
Sometimes, people believe
that when they have similar
interests, they can be together.
No one would think of AnandI’VE SAID NO TO THREE FILMS
IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS
BECAUSE I WASN’T GETTING
PAID WHAT I DESERVE. NOW,
I’M DOING FILMS WHERE
I’M GETTING PAID MORE THAN
THE HERO. I’M NOT EXPECTING
THE SAME AS AKSHAY KUMAR
OR SALMAN KHAN. I’M NOT
DELUSIONAL. BUT I DO KNOW
HOW MUCH I DESERVE. ALLMY FILMS HAVE OPENED WELL,
