Shahid Kapoor reflects on feeling “small” before Kabir Singh: “I was made to feel lesser, but I fought it”

In 2018, during the making of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmaavat, which starred Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone in the lead, reports surfaced of tension between Ranveer and Shahid Kapoor. It was claimed that the two actors struggled to get along, creating a tense atmosphere on set and complicating the shooting process. Shahid later admitted feeling like an 'outsider' during the filming and expressed disappointment with how his character was portrayed, acknowledging that he didn't fully capture the depth of his role.In a recent conversation with Raj Shamani on his YouTube podcast, Shahid reflected on a time before Kabir Singh (2019) when he felt “small.” Without naming the film or individuals involved, he shared that he was made to feel undermined and less of a star. Fans quickly speculated that his comments were a subtle reference to his experience working on Padmaavat.When asked if he ever felt victimized, Shahid responded, “Ye Kabir Singh ke pehle mere saath hua tha. Mere andar jo kuch tha, mujhe laga ke I am lesser. Mujhe aisa mehsoos karaya gaya. Kisi ne zabardasti nahi ki. As an artist, as a star, as an individual. Mujhe aisa situation mein dala gaya ke mujhe aisa feel ho ke main kam hoon. Aur yeh main kabhi accept nahi karunga. It’s like your clothes are better than mine. It’s a comparative. Sometimes life puts you in a situation where it plays out in a way where somebody is... you’re in enclosed proximity and you’re made to feel lesser. It’s nobody’s fault, I’m not getting into that. But that is what I went through for some time. And I was made to feel like that. And I fought it.”Shahid had previously mentioned feeling like an outsider on the sets of Padmaavat. In an interview with DNA, he said, “I’m used to being the favourite of all my filmmakers. This was the first time that I was like an outsider. When you work with a team that has worked together, you are kind of an outsider and it takes time for you to break through that barrier.”Also Read : EXCLUSIVE: CBFC reduces lip lock scene in Shahid Kapoor-starrer Deva by 6 seconds
