In a new interview, Arjun Kapoor describes his personal views on his performance in the Shraddha Kapoor starrer Half Girlfriend.
Arjun Kapoor, known for his candidness, never shies away from criticism. Rather, he discusses it opens and admits where he feels he could have been better. Recently, the actor revisited his performance in Mohit Suri's Half Girlfriend and admitted that Vikrant Massey, who played a supporting role in the film, was a better actor than him in the film.
In an interview with Galatta Plus, Arjun Kapoor discussed his honest opinion about his performance as Madhav Jha in Half Girlfriend. He admitted that his dubbing for the film affected the authenticity of his dialogue delivery. The actor who learned and spoke in a Bihari dialect in the film wished he didn't have to dub the film.
He said, "I wish I didn't have to dub for Half Girlfriend with the dialect. I think I did a good job on the set, but then, unfortunately, I had to dub. I am not somebody who is very fond of dubbing because it undermines honesty at that moment. "
Kapoor explained that initially, he performed well with the Bihari dialect on set during the shoot. However, he couldn't create the same magic in the studio during the dubbing sessions. He disliked the process and wished he didn't had to do it.

"Like Vikrant (Massey) is much better in the dub. He is a much better actor in the film also, in that sense, much more nuanced in that sense," Arjun stated.
The 2 States actor, who was expected to do a better job, couldn't get the dialect right during dubbing. At the same time, he revealed that he faced scheduling conflicts during the film's shooting, which further hampered his ability to perform at his best. However, he takes the whole thing as a learning experience.
