Shahid Kapoor is one of the most successful actors of Bollywood and currently he is enjoying the success of his last release, “Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya” which has emerged as the third biggest hit of his career.
Recently, during a show, Shahid revealed why he didn’t want his brother Ishaan Khatter to work in the movie, Udta Punjab. Ishaan worked as an assistant director in the film which was directed by Abhishek Chaubey and also starred Kareena Kapoor Khan, Diljit Dosanjh and Alia Bhatt in important roles.
Shahid Kapoor played the role of a rockstar who was a drug addict and he said “I didn’t want him to be on Udta Punjab. I was playing a cocaine addict. I don’t even know what it is like to have a drink so this was the most challenging film that I was doing and I don’t know if I’ll get the character right. And I don’t want the baggage of having my brother because when your younger brother is an AD, you know your one eye is there (on him). (You are wondering) theek hai kya, khaana kha raha hai? You don’t want to show him that you’re there.”
When Shahid Kapoor was asked whether he had any fear of biases as Ishaan was the brother of the leading actor of the movie, Shahid replied in negative and said that it is the worst thing that anybody could do to someone.
He said, “I wouldn’t want my elder brother or my father to make me feel that I need to be given special treatment when I want to be included in the team. That’s the worst thing anybody could do to you because then the whole team is looking at you ke ache wo uska bhai hai. You want to be included, you want to be on the same plane, so you get that.”
We also agree with Shahid Kapoor, do you?
