Arbaaz Khan opens up on why he began his career as a villain in Daraar; says, “Honestly, I was just waiting to start work”

Bollywood actor Arbaaz Khan began his career with a negative character in Daraar. One would question why the brother of one of India's biggest superstar, Salman Khan, and the son of a renowned screenwriter (Salim Khan), would start his career with the role of a villain. Arbaaz stated that there weren't many opportunities for him, so he wanted to get started in show business as soon as possible. Arbaaz Khan told IANS, “The opportunities were very less and there were only a few directors with whom an actor would have wanted to work then. Honestly, I was just waiting to start work.” The actor further said, “At the end of the day, I too had responsibilities, my father had such a terrific body of work, my brother (Salman Khan) was already a big star by then.” “So, it was important for me to take the plunge. In showbiz, you expect your break at the age of 21 or 22 but, once you're in your mid 20s and you haven't started working, there's pressure on you to work, earn and deliver. So, I thought the film was good and the negative shade of my character did not matter to me,” said the actor. Arbaaz concluded by saying, “So, it was more of a work call, I got the award in my very first film. I agree that for a long time I was typecast as an actor after that film but that also gave me work. Kaam karna important hai na (To work is all that matters, right?) And, I changed that particular image over a period of time.” Coming to the professional front, the 55-year-old actor was last seen Tanaav, a ten-episode series on terrorism in Kashmir streaming on SonyLiv. Currently he hosts the long-format talk show, The Invincibles with Arbaaz Khan on Bollywood Bubble. Also Read: Arbaaz Khan attended the birthday bash of World Record Holder Dr Pratayksha
