Shahid Kapoor feels like an outsider in Bollywood – here’s why!

Shahid Kapoor is one of the OG heartthrob who’s been setting screens on fire since day one! From his adorable boy-next-door charm to his intense on-screen personas, Shahid Kapoor has conquered it all. But did you know that behind the dazzling facade lies a tale of struggle and resilience? In a recent chat with Neha Dhupia on ‘No Filter Neha,’ Shahid peeled back the layers and spilled the beans on why he’s never been one to cozy up to the infamous Bollywood ‘camps.’ Despite being a star kid, Shahid marches to the beat of his own drum!

Shahid Kapoor reveals why he feels like an outsider despite being a star kid

When quizzed about his outsider status in the industry, Shahid dropped some truth bombs, revealing, “Maybe I don’t have the qualities to be a campy person.” Did he just throw some shade? But wait, there’s more! Shahid opened up about his rocky road to stardom, reminiscing about his early days in Mumbai when he felt like the odd one out due to his Delhi roots and distinct accent.

Recalling those turbulent times, Shahid spilled, “I was the outsider because my accent was different, I had a Delhi accent. I was badly treated for a very long time.” Shahid didn’t let the haters dim his shine. This dude fought tooth and nail to carve his own path to success!

He straight-up slammed the whole ‘campy thing,’ advocating for creative collaboration without the drama. He shared, “I hate being bullied, and I didn’t have the confidence as a kid, as a teenager, and as a young adult. But now, if you try to bully me, I will bully you right back,” he declared, serving us some serious no-filter realness.

For the unversed, Shahid Kapoor’s parents are Pankaj Kapur, an acclaimed actor and filmmaker, and Neelima Azeem, an actress. Shahid Kapoor is their son from their marriage. Pankaj Kapur and Neelima Azeem got divorced, and both remarried later.

On the work front, Shahid Kapoor will be next seen in the film, ‘Deva,’ alongside Pooja Hegde. He also recently announced his film ‘Ashwatthama – The Saga Continues.’
