Why is Arjun Kapoor being trolled

After a streak of underperforming films, Arjun Kapoor faced massive trolling on social media. Arjun Kapoor memes also flooded social media feeds last year. The meme originated from an interaction between the actor and the media during the promotion of his film Half Girlfriend. Reportedly, it was one of the trendiest memes of 2025.
