Aditya Raj Kapoor reveals he started studying at the age of 61
In an interview with ETimes, Aditya Raj Kapoor revealed why he started studying at the age of 61. He mentioned feeling a sense of emptiness in his life, which made him realise the importance of education. Moreover, it dragged him towards the liking for the subject of Philosophy, especially the ‘thought of man’. Elaborating more on it, Aditya said:
“Over the years I realized my error. But that was not enough, it was only when I felt the emptiness within me that I realized the importance of value education. Which brings me to my subject: Philosophy. I started studying at the age of 61, which means, committing to it doing the entrance exams and all. I did not need a Commerce or a Business course. Neither did I want Geography. Science would need a rebirth! What has always intrigued me over the years in my struggle to stay afloat, is the ‘thought of man’. Why does man think the way he thinks? What makes him think? This and my spiritual exposure led me to the gates of Philosophy.”
