But did you know that before making his debut in Bollywood in 2012, Arjun Kapoor had dated Salman Khan’s sister, Arpita Khan? Yes, before dating Salman’s ex-sister-in-law, Malaika, Arjun was in a serious relationship with Salman’s sister, Arpita for two years. Arpita and Arjun had started dating when he was 18 and weighed 140 kilos, and after ending their two-years-of-relationship, Arjun had taken control of his fitness and lifestyle to become a star in Bollywood.
In a throwback interview with the Bombay Times, Arjun Kapoor had revealed details about his relationship with Arpita Khan and how Salman Khan was partial towards him and take his side. Arjun had stated, "My first and only serious relationship so far was with Arpita Khan. We started seeing each other when I was 18 and it lasted for two years. I was also already attached to Salman bhai, but it was during the shooting of Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya that our relationship started. I was scared of Salman bhai and went and told him and the entire family as I wanted them to know from me first. They were very kind about it. He was taken aback, but he respects people and relationships. In fact, he was partial in that relationship where he would always take my side."
Throwing light on how Arpita Khan broke up with him and how it had affected him, Arjun Kapoor had stated, "I was 140 kgs, was assisting Nikhil Advani in Salaam-E-Ishq and had a girlfriend, would party and felt my life was headed in the right direction and felt sorted and thought that I would direct my film by 22, till she broke up with me and suddenly I was confused about what my future held for me. Even after breaking up, I would hang out with him. He was my friend, my father-figure, older brother, everything at that point. He was an older brother I never had and he made me realise how important it is to have an older brother."
