I was very lonely... | Shahid Kapoor #shorts #shahidkapoor #lonely #marriage #love #life #decision

“When I first started out, I think I was blind to the challenges… I was very thick-skinned, fortunately. I had a lot of dreams and I believed in them—because no one else did, except for mom and Ishaan. Mom always backed me—she’s the wind beneath our wings.

So, when my parents separated, it was a tough journey for her. Being the elder son, I wanted to support her as soon as I could. So I started dancing with Shiamak Davar at 15, soon became a professional dancer and started earning money. In a way, I didn’t really live my teenage years because I was working, but I loved what I did!”

From working as a dancer in ads and films, to then debuting as the boy-next-door in Ishq Vishq at the age of 23, Shahid Kapoor has had quite a remarkable journey.

Playing the ‘chocolate boy’ in many movies at the beginning of his career, over the years, Shahid redefined himself every step of the way in his 20-year-long acting career, with the most recent one being his OTT debut Farzi. He’s established himself as one of the most bankable actors in the industry today.

In this episode, we spoke to Shahid about his married life, being a father, how he disconnects from his glamorous acting world and how spirituality has helped him. Join us as we celebrate the incredible journey Shahid has been on and figure out, ‘How the Hell Did He Do It?’ Tune in now!

- Early days as a dancer
- Impact of a blended family on a child
- Learnings over the years
- Spirituality
- Love
- Marriage and Fatherhood
- Dabbling in different genres
- Things we couldn't find on Google

Shahid has evolved so well. I appreciate his choice of work, his understanding of himself, and his honesty about himself.

[arpitaprateek]

I wud like to see a vedio where a girl is talking the same for a younger guy...and without recieving hate from society

[iman]

If she is that beauty and doesn’t care about Bollywood she is the reall one

If you want to impress someone,

[prasannapaudel]

Oh my god, I cherish this type of calmness and tranquility

[suchitayadav]

I am 32 and feel the same..but I am not finding any one.. heartbreak in the past have made me miserable

[ms-buyv]

They both together....looks just perfect...

[anujsrawat]

The fact that he acknowledged the age gap is enough to put that criticism close for now, He definitely shared that feeling to Mira still Mira agreed to continue that relationship still if women is criticizing Shahid on that is actually insulting Mira decision making.

[reenaregy]

Shahid is a guy who is transparent and good at heart. For him a lady like kareena who is all show off won’t work . So God has blessed him with a dedicated partner. Look at his family now. Grown and respected .

[krishniarumugam]

Mira has a royal aura. Love this couple

[amrutapathak]

His career took off really well when he got married✨

[tanushreej]

People with spiritual wisdom do not marry out of loneliness. Do not use big terms like spiritual and schizophrenia without understanding the meaning.

[anglelover]

Shahid is very down to earth really
👇 respect button 👏 🙌 ❤

[jb-jeyz]

She was so young & had no life experience so it was easier to accept how he is.

[onlooker]

Plz don’t call this schizophrenic personality … this is not even close to what exactly psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia looks like.
-A serious advice frm mental health professional !

[beautimarks]

Okay I can act like meera too if I meet a Bollywood star. I’ll be okay with everything and act super mature about it.

[monish]

At 20 year if girl is getting handsome hot and rich guy she won't leave that's what they want 😂😂😂😂

[rohanmaharjan]

It's age gap can be only accepted for rich people where we middle class do
We get criticized

[Voyager--sy]

It's a pleasure to listen to him these days...

I had a friend who worked in top hotel where Shahid stayed. Mira was absolutely rude to him in general according to my friend's observations
