Bollywood heartthrob Arjun Kapoor who was recently spotted at the book launch of 'Me,Mia,Multiple' written by Debashish Irengbam held at India's showbiz capital Mumbai confessed that he is not much of a reader.
The 30-year-old actor said that he reads scripts very well, but doesn't have a veracious appetite for reading books.
He added that he does watch a lot of films since he is the son of a producer and comes from a film background.
The 'Gunday' star said he tried once but wasn't very good at it because his mind was in too many places which didn't make sense for a script and came to the conclusion that he wasn't ready yet.
Veteran lyricist and scriptwriter Javed Akhtar was also present at the event where he addressed the media and said that the kind of imagination a book can provide, not even cinema can.
