Arjun Kanungo: 'Social media is a great equalizer'

Mumbai: While you may associate singer Arjun Kanungo with the hit 'Baaki Baatein Peene Baad', not many might know that he is a three-time national Gold medal winner in shooting and a national level Basketball player too. "I use every opportunity to get better at everything I do. If I had to pick one, I would say I am a musician as I have done that for the longest," says the singer who recently released his debut studio album 'Industry'.

While his first commercial success came with 'Khoon Choos Le' in the 2013 film 'Go Goa Gone', he made his debut as an actor in the 2021 film 'Radhe'.

A pass-out from the prestigious How was the time spent at Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York, he recalls it as an eye-opening experience and says that formal training makes one better equipped to deal with unfamiliar situations on set. "The more trained the actor, the more adaptable he is, and the more tools he has in his toolbox. Hindustani classical made me a much better singer, and method acting made me a better actor. I am just waiting to prove myself."
