Shahid Kapoor on ‘Kabir Singh’ criticism: It’s a movie; it’s not real life

We’re all excited to watch ‘Kabir Singh’ this Friday. Shahid Kapoor is looking in sizzling form and early reviews suggest that this is the best performance of his life.

Now, ‘Kabir Singh’ has met with some criticism for being a violent romance. Responding to such accusations, Shahid said in an interview with The Indian Express, “You think I haven’t seen enough of those? I had ‘Padmaavat’ and ‘Udta Punjab’ back-to-back, so you can imagine how that must’ve been. It’s a movie. It’s not real life. So, people should focus on the wrong things that happen in their life.”

In another interview with Mid-Day, he spoke about the film and said, “‘Kabir Singh’ is a phase in everyone’s life. We all (become) self-destructive when we feel like we’ve fallen apart. (One may feel) empathy for him because, in all his misgivings, he is vulnerable. It’s a cathartic journey of a man, and a cautionary tale. It made me feel that I never want to become this person.”

‘Kabir Singh’ is the official remake of Telegu film ‘Arjun Reddy’.
