Shahid Kapoor’s 2019 release Kabir Singh divided the audience as soon as it released. While many believed that film was glamourising a chauvinistic, abusive protagonist, the others, in large numbers, were rushing to the theatres to watch a film that they perceived as a love story. The film was Shahid’s last big hit at the box office and four years later, Shahid continues to defend the Sandeep Reddy Vanga film.
Shahid continued to defend the film and asked if everyone is a perfect human being and insisted that people deserve a second chance. “My point is, in love, have we not all messed up? Are we all perfect human beings? Everybody deserves a second chance, however rubbish they might be,” he said. The Farzi actor than said that he has “seen physical abuse as a child” but Kabir Singh was “just about a dysfunctional love story between a very simple girl and a very talented, brilliant, aggressive disturbed, guy .”
In the same chat, Shahid also spoke about his Sanjay Leela Bhansali film Padmaavat where he starred alongside Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh. Ranveer was in top form in the film and his performance received many accolades. When asked if he “felt shortchanged,” Shahid said he did and added, “Because I think everybody was fantastic in that film and everybody did a lovely job but I did feel at times, I was like ‘Why did I do this film?’ I felt like that.”
Shahid’s performance in Padmaavat did not receive much appreciation.
