‘He did a hexagon’: Cocktail 2 producer brutally teases Shahid Kapoor over his love life

Shahid Kapoor spoke about his first love and said, “Everyone remembers their first love, but what matters is their last love. You don’t even know you are in love the first time. Love is actually when you settle; be with somebody forever. They accept you for who you are.”

Dinesh Vijan on Shahid Kapoor’s love life

Things took an interesting turn when the actors were asked whether they had ever been part of a love triangle. While Rashmika Mandanna denied having such an experience, Kriti Sanon admitted that she had been in one.

Kriti said, “When I was in school, I had a crush on my really close friend’s crush. I didn’t really do much about it. It was good I didn’t go for it as that guy turned out to be a bit of a red-flag.”

While Shahid tried to be ‘politically correct’ with his answer, producer Dinesh Vijan pulled his leg and commented, “Shahid has gotten stuck in a couple of triangles. In fact, he didn’t do a triangle but a hexagon.”

Responding to Dinesh, Shahid said, “It was a circle started from the same place and ended at the same place.”

Shahid Kapoor married Mira Rajput in 2015. Prior to that, the actor was linked with Kareena Kapoor Khan, Amrita Rao, Vidya Balan, and Priyanka Chopra.

About Cocktail 2

Directed by Homi Adajania, Cocktail 2 releases on June 19. Talking about the second instalment, producer Dinesh Vijan said, “It has been 13 years since we made Cocktail. Even though so much time has passed, it just feels like yesterday. Luv Ranjan wrote the most relevant rom-com I have read in a long time; there is no one like him for the genre. 23 years ago, my dearest and oldest friend Homi Adajania directed my first film, and now he has directed this.”

Homi added, “Dinesh was asking me to make Cocktail for the last 12 years, but we never found a story.”

Talking about the story, the film’s writer Luv Ranjan said, “You will be in for a lot of shocks when you see the film. There will be many pleasant surprises too.” Dinesh added, “Today, the youth wants more connect and this film gives love hope. First one had an intense second half, this one’s second half is very unconventional. This was the quickest casting in history. I was talking to Shahid from my balcony, and he was on board. It was the easiest film to cast.”

Homi added, “This film is extremely relevant. It’s not just the kind of black-and-white love story we usually see on screen. It explores several grey areas, such as whether merely thinking about cheating amounts to cheating, and whether intent matters more than the physical act. As the story unfolds, viewers will constantly find themselves questioning who is right and who is wrong.”
