Aditya Roy Kapur is remarkably self-aware. In a family of artistes, he says he was the least artistically inclined; but for someone who was averse to acting in Hindi cinema, he has gradually fallen in love with the profession. "As I look back, I think I am an accidental actor. Just because it has been ten years I can't say I've been sure about wanting to be in this profession, even though I've started to love it now," Aditya says.

He started out as a VJ for Channel V and eventually made his debut as an actor in 2009 with London Dreams. Over the years, he featured in films like Aashiqui 2, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Ok Jaanu. "It all happened by chance," Aditya says. A casting call in 2008 for the Vipual Shah film gave him an opportunity to enter Bollywood, even though he never "harboured any desire to be an actor."
