Kabir Singh, featuring Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani, has become a widely discussed movie in recent times. Despite its success at the box office, the Sandeep Reddy Vanga film opened to mixed reviews. In a celebrity talk show hosted by Neha Dhupia, Shahid Kapoor spoke openly about his film, expressing his appreciation for the diverse opinions.
Shahid was asked if anything could persuade him to not take on the role of Kabir Singh if he had access to a time machine. In response, the actor stated that he wouldn’t alter anything.
He shared, “You don’t like Kabir Singh, great. I’m not here to convince you to like a character. I’m here to be the character. That is what cinema should be. It should be able to create conversation, it should be able to represent society honestly so we actually sit down and talk about it. My job was to play the character. Everybody else’s job is to decide what they felt about it and that’s great.”
He further added, “We should talk about the film or character if something is unacceptable to a certain set of people but nobody should say something like, ‘You cannot make something like this,’” because that doesn’t make sense.
Furthermore, he spoke about creative freedom and added, “Creative freedom has to be there. You have to be able to do different things. We live in a society where we have to accept different opinions. So I’m very happy with everybody’s opinions and respectful of everybody’s opinions.”
Meanwhile, on the work front, Shahid Kapoor will next be seen in Deva, co-starring Pooja Hegde.
