Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor sat down for an interview with a publication on second anniversary of his hit film Kabir Singh and reflected on his role in the movie.
Kapoor shared, “It’s been my most loved film and one of the most important films of my life, if not the most important. I want to thank my fans for making my most flawed and broken character my most successful character ever.”
The Udta Punjab actor went on, “I had a hard time while shooting Kabir Singh because I had to play an alcoholic and somebody who is into substance abuse. I had to smoke beedis and I was a father coming back to my kids. It was challenging as there were different looks and headspaces to Kabir Singh.”
He added, “We tend to give importance to physical changes in actors. That’s an easy part to do. The difficult part is to get into the character’s heart and soul and try to understand why they are doing something. To get into the head of a guy who is erratic, aggressive, violent and emotional was challenging."
Kapoor was asked about similarities between him and Kabir Singh to which he replied, “I am not violent. I can’t straight up go and talk to a girl like Kabir does. That’s not in my personality. I am pretty shy around girls.”
However, he said there is one thing in common, “He is not social, which I can relate to a certain degree, because I am told I am not social.”
