Last year,

David Beckham

. The actor graced a gathering hosted by his cousin, actress Sonam Kapoor, in honor of the esteemed footballer. On

Instagram

, Arjun disclosed that he attended the event accompanied by Malaika Arora. In the images, Arjun and David sported matching black outfits.
However, netizens claimed a discrepancy that Arjun appeared taller than David.

This sparked a flurry of comments, with some pointing out that according to available information, Arjun is typically shorter than David. A user wrote, “Beckham is 183 cm & Arjun kapoor is 178 cm then how Arjun is looking taller than Beck?” Another user wrote, “Par David Beckham ki

Height

toh Arjun Kapoor se lambi hai……photo edit ki adat kabhi khatam nahi hogi kapoors ki (But David Beckham’s height is taller than Arjun Kapoor’s… the Kapoor family’s habit of photo editing will never end )”.
Putting an end to the controversy, Arjun Kapoor had clarified, “I’m actually 183 cms, that’s slightly over 6 feet so let’s not believe everything that we read.”

Grateful to have met @davidbeckham & completely in awe of his genuine sincerity towards spending time with all of us & being kind enough to allow every fan boy/girl in that room to feel elated to get a picture & time with him… Thank You @sonamkapoor & @anandahuja for fulfilling this childhood dream of mine !!! #whatanight #legend #beckham.”
