Arjun Kapoor remembers his first day of college

Recalling his first day at college, Arjun Kapoor revealed how he instantly felt like a misfit. "I came to college wearing shorts and realized I didn't fit in. I wore my oversized clothes and carried a school bag. I have erased a lot of memories from those days. I dropped out of college a lot of times. I failed in accounting but did well in other subjects," the actor shared.

It was not that I left college and it did not bother me. My father suggested that I take a year off and see how I feel. I was fortunate to choose this option. But I am here today because of that option".
