Arjun Kapoor recently opened up that he and Sonam studied in the same school (Arya Vidya Mandir school) and loved basketball a lot.
He said that once Sonam was playing and some boys behaved badly with her. He notes that even though he has always been a non-violent person, he got angry and abused the boy who misbehaved with his cousin.
Arjun said in a conversation with radio host Sidharth Kannan, “Sonam and I were in the same school. I, ‘Sonam and I were in the same school. I was chubby then. I used to love playing basketball and so did Sonam. One day, it was a typical, cliche scene where seniors came and grabbed the ball from Sonam and announced it was their time to play. Sonam came crying to me. She said, ‘He behaved badly with me, this boy.’ I asked, ‘Who’s this boy?’ I am not a violent person at all. Neither in my childhood nor now. But I do get angry. I got angry and I went. That boy came and I abused him. He looked at me, kept staring at my verbal diarrhoea of abuses, he just looked at me.”
“He took his hand and punched me. I went back home with a black eye. Sonam was saying sorry to me and I remember, he was a part of some national level boxing. He was a boxer. Maine galat ladke se panga le liya tha Sonam ke chakkar mein (I messed with the wrong guy for Sonam). I got the punch and had to go to the doctor. I got suspended because I abused. I was the instigator of the problem. After that I told Sonam, ‘you take care of yourself in school because I have been defamed very badly. I can’t do this’,” he added.
Arjun got a black eye from the national level boxer who punched him. He even got suspended from the school after this incident took place. Arjun said that he got into a fight with the wrong person because of Sonam Kapoor.
