What is the way and I always know that you have been upbeat and have a sense of humor which I think is there that in the face of failure you can laugh at yourself. How do you deal with it,” asked the filmmaker. Opening up about it, Arjun said, “There is so much adversity I have faced in my life ya Karan, I think I have spoken on this couch before about many aspects of my life.” “I am the first actor in my generation to deliver a 100 crore film, with Dharma and Sajid Nadiadwala that was 2 States. I have seen the high, I have done a film like ‘Ki & Ka’ that did well, where I was a house husband, I have done all kinds of work, I have worked with so many people. I mean Akshay Kumar has spoken so openly about the fact that he almost considered leaving the profession at one point of time, 11-12 flops I think he has seen,” shared Arjun.
