Actor Arjun Mathur has been in the industry for over 12 years. He has been a part of films such as “Luck by Chance” and “My Name is Khan“, but it was Zoya Akhtar directorial web show “Made In Heaven” that made him talk of the town earlier this year.
His outing as a gay wedding planner who battles with his sexuality in “Made in Heaven” was widely appreciated.
In an interview to IANS, Arjun spoke about the changes he has witnessed in life — especially professional life — after the show’s success.

“I am still the same human being, I still take just as much time deciding on what I am going to do next. I am still as careful about what I take up. It’s true that I get a lot more offers and there’s a lot more work coming my way but I take on very little of it. To be honest, there is lot of interest from filmmakers and a lot of appreciation from actors and the audience, and you know all of that is welcome. It’s just the usual stuff, nothing mindboggling,” he said.
The actor also shared what fame and stardom mean to him.
He said: “I don’t know what real fame and real stardom is and I am not sure if I want a certain kind of ‘real fame’ and ‘real stardom’. I just want to do good work and that’s what I am doing. I don’t know how careless I am or if am a star. These are not measures I keep for myself. I am happy to not be a star. I don’t need to be the kind of star who is in your face everyday without too much work to speak of.”
