Arjun Mathur and Sidharth Malhotra
Made in Heaven fame Arjun Mathur says Sidharth Malhotra is not a good actor. Arjun recently appeared on a show with Sacred Games star Kubbra Sait where he was asked to name an overrated actor of Bollywood, to which he replied, ''I don't think Sidharth Malhotra is a good actor".
On the other hand, Kubbra called Sanju and The Accidental Prime Minister overrated films. To this, Arjun, who was seen as Congress President Rahul Gandhi in the film, added: "I got hate for The Accidental Prime Minister and I hate myself for doing that."
Arjun was lauded for his portrayal of a homosexual character in Amazon Prime web series Made In Heaven. The show, by Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti, touches upon issues like infidelity and struggles gay people face in India. The second season is already under works. Arjun said his character has inspired others to open up about their sexual orientation. "Around 10 people wrote to me that they have been able to come out (of the closet and speak) to their families because of my role," he said.
Opening up about his style of approaching nudity, Arjun quipped: "I use this thing called substitution. I plaster my girlfriend's face on whoever you have to act with."
