Shahid Kapoor says he was physically abused in his childhood

Shahid Kapoor has added a new layer to the debate around his 2019 blockbuster Kabir Singh. He’s said that while he gets the criticism of love being equated to physical abuse in the film, because he himself has been a victim of physical abuse in his childhood, he believes that everyone deserves a second chance when in love.

When Kabir Singh, Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s adaptation of his 2017 Telugu blockbuster Arjun Reddy, released four years ago, it took the Bollywood discourse by storm. While it became a raging success at the box office, many panned it for glorifying its lead character, an aggressive man who was physically abusive in a romantic relationship with Preeti, played by Kiara Advani.

Shahid said he had seen physical abuse as a child. He said he understood the criticism he faced in Kabir Singh. He added Kabir Singh is a dysfunctional love story between a very simple girl and a very talented, brilliant,aggressive, disturbed guy.

Shahid also clarified that he didn’t see the character of Kabir Singh as a hero or an anti-hero, but just as the protagonist of a story. He added that not every protagonist is a nice guy, just like Devdas wasn’t because he physically abused Paro. Shahid, though, was quick to clarify that he thinks Devdas is a great film.

He said everybody had messed up in love. He said none of the people were perfect human beings. He said everyone deserves a second chance. Kapoor said all kinds of people exist in the society and so he had tried to show the character of Kabir Singh in its true colours.

Kapoor added the protagonist in Kabir Singh was not a nice guy and he says the character was disturbed and was in a problem. He said the character had anger management issues. He said the character cannot be accepted by the society as he is self destructive
