Bollywood actors have to appear their best at important occasions. A common perception of actors amongst the masses is that they need to prioritise their physical appearance to succeed in the film industry. However, Kalank actor Aditya Roy Kapur, who is often deemed as one of the most handsome actors of Bollywood, thinks that at times good looks can overpower the acting skills of an actor.

Aditya Roy Kapur's take on actor's good looks and acting skills

In an interview with a global news agency, Aditya Roy Kapur talked about an actor's look outshining their performance. He stated that he does not put in more thoughts about it but in all the reviews that he reads, there is at least one line about the way he looks. He added that it is not in his hands that people talk about his appearance. He feels that mainstream actors — be it Brad Pitt or Leonardo DiCaprio — do not get enough credits for their acting skills at times, but for their screen presence. He further stated that people often tend to discount their acting skills and boil it down to their looks. However, the Aashiqui 2 actor feels that when it comes to him, he has no control over it but surely wants to establish himself as a combination of both.

He concluded by saying that he had learnt a little bit of kiteflying during the shoot and wants to learn it properly in future.
