Furthermore, Arjun Kapoor also spoke about how professionals in the film industry are judged upon the surnames they carry rather than the hard work they put in. “There is a certain amount of hard work that everybody puts in to be where they are. I think somewhere the hard work of everyone is just negated just because they are bringing an X amount to the table or they have a surname attached. I think the hard work should not be taken away. That's because you have got to bust your guts and b***s in this profession,” said Arjun.
