Exclusive: Aditya Roy Kapur shares his views on modern-day relationships! Says I don't think there's anything complex about them
While he started his career 16 years ago with supporting roles, Aditya Roy Kapur gradually moved on to playing the leading man in intense romantic dramas. Whether he’s playing a lovelorn hero in Aashiqui 2 or a brooding guy in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, the actor has often found himself at the centre of stories about complex relationships on screen. In a candid conversation with us, he shares his take on modern-day relationships and more:
‘Relationships are all about communicating with each other’
Despite the ever-evolving dynamics of dating, Aditya believes relationships aren’t as complicated as they’re made out to be. The actor, who was recently seen in Metro… In Dino, shares, “I don’t think there’s anything really complex about modern day relationships. If both people are completely committed to a relationship, it should be easy. It doesn’t change with time. It’s all about communicating and spending time with each other.”
‘Your relationship with your friends can easily take a backseat if you don’t nurture it’
Talking about nurturing relationships amid the hectic lives that we lead, he says, “It is challenging to nurture relationships in such a fast-paced environment. It becomes difficult to stay in touch as you get older and everyone gets busy. Many people get married, have children and go on to focus on their careers. When you get older you are unable to meet your friends the way you could earlier. So, your relationship with your friends can very easily take a backseat if you don’t give it attention, nurture it and make it a point to stay in touch. I think it’s important to check on your friends from time to time.”
‘I make it a point to stay connected with my close friends’
While social media connects us, he questions whether these connections are truly meaningful. He says, “All of us now are so hyperconnected, sending each other memes, reels and random things all day. So, you think you’re connected, but you actually aren’t. Having actual conversations and spending time with each other keeps your relationship going. So, we can very easily get seduced into thinking that we all are really talking to each other, but that’s not the case. You have to be conscious about keeping up with your friends even when you’re constantly on the run. I make it a point to stay connected with my close friends.”
