Will Smith, who recently delivered a bonafide hit with Bad Boys 4, spoke about having a ‘difficult time’ over the past couple of years in early 2024 and reading all the holy books during a spiritual phase of his life.
In 2022, Will shared how he navigated ‘perplexing situations’ with people he loves with the help of Arjuna’s story from Bhagavad Gita and Mahabharat.
“About Arjuna, the circumstance that he was in, for people who don’t know, his family has tripped out, he’s a wonderful archer. He’s the best archer in the world and his family tricks out and takes the kingdom and they’re like, you know, they snatch his wife and they’re trying to disrobe his wife and he… you know, he’s a warrior and, you know, he can get, he could get the kingdom back, you know. But these are his uncles and his, his brothers-in-law and his teachers and people that he loved and trusted, and they took his kingdom,” said Smith while talking on Jay Shetty’s On Purpose podcast.
He added, “And they prepared an army and they’re going to fight Arjuna and he’s, he’s devastated that his family and his friends and all of that, for material gain, would, would do this to him. And he’s deeply pious. And they prepare an army, the greatest army that’s ever been assembled, except that they don’t know that God is driving Arjuna’s chariot. Yes. Right? And they think they’re going to tear through Arjuna, they’re going to do all this, but God is driving Arjuna’s chariot.”
His words and explanation had impressed the audience as one Instagrammer wrote, “Never heard this perfect explanation of Mahabharat… the way he’s explained everything and the shine in his eyes… beautiful.” Another netizen commented, “Bro has read Mahabharat not watched TV serials that’s why he knows Arjuna was a true heroic character, yes Karna was powerful but the attitude of Arjun is what makes him the face of Mahabharat, the hero of Mahabharat.”
