Shahid Kapoor pens an emotional note on the massive success of ‘Kabir Singh’

Shahid Kapoor has played one of the baddest characters of his career in ‘Kabir Singh’ and he has been appreciated the most. The superstar has nailed every bit of the role and has brought back the grey-shaded hero back into the mainstream of Bollywood movies. With so much appreciation, the film is not only having great word-of-mouth publicity going around it, but it is also earning big moolah at the ticket windows. Shahid Kapoor took to social media to share a video and along with it, he penned an emotional note on the enormous success of the movie.

Shahid’s note read,”Your love is so overwhelming, words will always fall short. Thank you for understanding him, forgiving him and loving him with all your heart. We all fall apart. And we all must strive to rise from our faults. To be better. To be wiser. To be kinder. He is flawed. So are we all. You didn’t judge him, you experienced him. You understood him. I have never ever felt so thankful. The most flawed character I have ever played. Has become my most loved. Indeed, Indian cinema and the audience has come a long way. More power to brave choices. More power to you all for your maturity and humanness. You have given me wings to fly. To not only be burdened by the need to be loved to be a star but to have the courage to be hated in equal measure to be an actor. Here’s to cinema mirroring life. To protagonists who don’t have to be restricted by their goodness and can be human and imperfect. There is perfection in imperfection and that is the beauty and the challenge of this human life. Thank you. Again and again. You all are the heroes of this story (sic).”

Shahid Kapoor has received a few brickbats for picking up a misogynistic character to portray onscreen, but that doesn’t take away the fact that he was truly phenomenal in ‘Kabir Singh’. The film is already the second highest grosser in Bollywood this year, and by the end of this week, should also overtake ‘Uri’ and become the highest grosser this year.
