Shahid Kapoor reveals how he relates to his controversial character Kabir Singh
Shahid Kapoor recently attended the Forbes India Leadership Awards, where he talked about his journey. The actor has spent decades in Bollywood and enjoys a massive fan base. After entering the tinsel town, he was known as the chocolaty boy for his romantic comedies. Later, he broke out of this image by signing some serious movies like Kaminey and Haider. Kabir Singh is also among the movies in which the actor played a serious role.
As per Pinkvilla, Shahid revealed that he can relate to the characters he plays in movies. He said, “I wouldn’t say a romantic hero is like me and Kabir is not like me. There is a little crazy inside me somewhere, so Kabir is existing within me, deep down. Those crazy streaks are there within me as an actor, so I chase complex characters.”
Later, the actor revealed how he strives to play different characters in every movie. He said, “The idea is to be part of stories, to play different characters who represent different aspects of human behavior, of society, people who are from different backgrounds, whose brain and heart work differently, who look different and speak different. I will always chase that.”
Kabir Singh was a remake of Vijay Deverakonda’s Telugu film Arjun Reddy. Sandeep Reddy Vanga helmed both movies.
