Arjan Bajwa, celebrated for his roles in acclaimed films such as Fashion, Guru, and Kabir Singh, is far more than just a talented actor. He is a trained pilot, a black belt in Taekwondo, a former architecture student, and a successful entrepreneur. Bajwa continues to explore and nurture passions that extend well beyond the realm of cinema.
Aviation: A Lifelong Passion
Speaking about his love for aviation, Bajwa revealed that flying has been a lifelong passion. He shared, “Aviation is something that I've been doing since I was in school. I started gliding at the Delhi Gliding Club at Safdarjung Airport when I was in the 11th standard. Since I could not pursue it as a profession, I have kept it as a hobby. Whenever I get a chance, I have a few friends who have flight schools in India and abroad, and they are kind enough to let me fly whenever I get time.”
Fitness Philosophy: Simplicity is Key
When it comes to fitness, Bajwa believes in keeping things simple and uncomplicated. He stated, “Eat right, sleep right, meditate, try to be positive, and work out. That's it. No other complications are needed to keep you fit.” His approach emphasizes consistency and a balanced lifestyle over complex routines.
On Vulnerability and Emotional Strength
The actor also spoke candidly about vulnerability and the societal pressure on men to always appear strong. He said, “You can't be putting on a mask all the time. You are human after all, and the highs and lows of life are a part of your everyday. I have been vulnerable, and I have faced situations where I was vulnerable. But I guess that is life; you have to move on from that situation, reassure yourself in what you're doing with a strong mindset and a strong-headed approach toward things, and move on.”
Advice to His Younger Self
When asked what he would tell his younger self about manhood, Bajwa reflected, “Manhood is not taught, manhood comes from experience, age, and the kind of things that you go through in life.” He added, “If life could be entirely guided by advice, the whole world would be a completely different place altogether.”
Arjan Bajwa's multifaceted life serves as an inspiration, reminding us that pursuing diverse interests can lead to a richer, more fulfilling existence.
