Life Before Debuting in Bollywood

You might be curious to know about the life of Aditya before he entered the film industry as an actor. Well, he comes from a Hindu, Khatri Punjabi family with Jewish background on the maternal side. His elder brother is the CEO of UTV Motion Pictures, and his other brother is an actor.

He is the brother-in-law of famous Bollywood actress Vidya Balan. A young Adi dreamed of becoming a cricketer but left coaching after some time while in sixth grade.

Quick fact: In 11th standard, he failed in St. Xavier’s and later enrolled in St. Andrew’s College to save a year. But, finally, he graduated from St. Xavier’s College, under the University of Mumbai.

As he graduated, now comes what to do in life, isn’t it obvious? So, he became a VJ on Channel V. There, Aditya Roy Kapur was recognized for his incredible comic timing and hosting talent. He worked with VJ Brauna Abdullah and hosted a show called ‘Pakao’ till 2008.

Early Days in Bollywood of Aditya Roy Kapur

Kapur made his Hindi film debut in the 2009 comedy-drama London Dreams, starring Salman Khan, Ajay Devgn, and Asin Thottumkal. His two movies from 2010—Action Replay starring Akshay Kumar and Guzaarish with Hrithik Roshan—continued the trend of supporting parts. But none of these movies were successful at the theatre or able to make Kapur prominent.

His fate took a turn, and hard work paid off, ‘Aashiqui 2’ was released in 2013, and he became a sensation overnight. It is no joke that it was not his luck but his consistency through these years when he played supporting roles.

The Life After Breakthrough Year and More

Every big name in Bollywood was a struggler in the initial days. Although he had a family background in the film industry through his brother, nothing came to him quickly.

Only in 2013, when ‘Aashiqui 2’ was released, his life took a U-turn, and he became the heart of millions. Aashiqui 2, which debuted on April 26, 2013, was a financial triumph at the box office and one of the most famous Bollywood movies of 2013, earning 1.45 billion (approximately USD 18 million) globally in the first four weeks of release.

In that year, Kapur portrayed Avinash Arora as the supporting character in the movie ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani,’ which became the most commercially successful movie of his career and one of the biggest-grossing Indian movies ever.

In 2020, alongside Sanya Malhotra, Aditya Roy Kapur played Aakash Chauhan in the dark comedy crime movie Ludo, which debuted on Netflix.
