Arjun gets inked

Arjun Kapoor has gotten himself inked again and the tattoo is significant and personal. Created by SavioD’Silva, Arjun now wears the saying ‘Per Ardua Ad Astra’ on his arm. Sharing details about this new tattoo, Arjun Kapoor says, “It’s a Latin saying that translates to ‘through adversity to the stars’. All our lives, all of us want to rise to the occasion when the time comes, but most people get pushed against a wall, with circumstances being against them. Things don’t always fall in place. But eventually, the beauty of life is to be an underdog, rise to the occasion and be able to go beyond one’s potential because you believe in yourself.”

Reflecting a state of mind that is both optimistic and determined, Arjun has chosen this tattoo. He says, “The whole point is to come through and outdo the expectation of yourself and others because that is what I think has defined me. Nobody has ever given me a chance from day one and you somehow rise to the occasion and do better. It just felt accurate, intimate and personal for me. Tattoos are very personal, I already have one (he had previously inked the word Maa in Hindi as a mark to his late mother Mona Kapoor) and this is my second one.”
