Shahid Kapoor has made several attempts to repeat the blockbuster success of his 2019 romantic thrillerKabir Singh‘, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, although no one has managed to reach the same level. The actor, however, doesn’t mind, citing constant changes in the film industry as a key factor.
About the Shahid Kapoor manufactured hit Bollywood
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Shahid explained how success in the film industry can be partly manufactured. He said: “But if something is terrible, you can’t say it’s really good. I’ve seen people call a movie a blockbuster, but people are saying it’s really bad. If you pay, that can also be in today’s news.”“Decide who you want to be and what version of you makes you feel good about yourself in the morning. If you wake up in the morning, look in the mirror and don’t feel good about yourself, change yourself. You have to see yourself as a person. I know a lot of people see themselves as a brand or a person. It might work, but it’s psychotic. It’s not normal, I never have to be afraid to admit it.”
Shahid Kapoor reacts Alia Bhatt He is supposedly a paid troll at Cannes
When asked about the alleged paid trolling directed at his former co-star Alia Bhatt during an appearance at the Cannes Film Festival last month, Shahid chose his words carefully and responded with restraint. Without pointing fingers, he said, “Whenever one goes through difficult times, when success and failure become such a big factor that they become unpredictable, people become insecure. In a general sense, that makes sense. I never believe anything anyone says unless I see it for myself. I take everything with a pinch of salt.’Shahid added that it is “sad” how much negativity is circulating these days, describing it as “a lot of pressure” that is “too much to handle”. He went on to say: “Negativity comes with money and fame. It’s part of the job. That’s how life is balanced. With that love, so much negativity can come. I’m sorry, be real. There was a time when you built a persona and people’s perception was manipulated. Even if you’re imperfect and insecure, I’d say let people see that. When they feel like you’re trying to show them something they see, they get upset and very angry.”
