Mumbai, May 12 (UNI) On the occasion of the 13th anniversary of his debut film 'Ishaqzaade', Bollywood actor Arjun Kapoor took to social media to share a personal note addressed to himself - reminiscing the time he starred in the film as a raw 26-year-old actor.

Arjun Kapoor started his career in Bollywood with the action-packed romantic drama 'Ishaqzaade', which introduced him to the silver screen.

He recently completed 13 years since its release.

To commemorate the special occasion, Kapoor shared a reflective note to his then 26-year-old self on social media and also gave a glimpse of 'Arjun 2.0'.

Kapoor, now 39. shared some pictures of his youth and penned, "Dear 26-year-old Arjun, you did it. You are standing on the edge of a dream that once felt impossible. I know how many nights you stayed up, watching films, believing somehow that cinema would be your escape, your purpose. You also worked hard to transform- not just your body, but your mind, your spirit. The hours, the disciplines, the setbacks... they were all worth it. Stay humble. Stay hungry (to learn). And never forget- this journey began with a bullied kid who simply loved movies too much to give up. With love and pride, Arjun 2.0."

He captioned the post, "The boy who loved movies became the man who lives for them. Marked 13 years of 'Ishaqzaade' yesterday- grateful, grounded and growing."
