Shahid Kapoor hates being called 'Cute'
Interestingly, the versatile actor who extensively spoke about his acting career in his chat with Pinkvilla, revealed that he always hated it when people call him 'cute'. He also added that he never really liked the 'Vanilla' characters (his famous boy-next-door roles). "I hate that word Vanilla. You know, I used to hate it when people say 'Oh you are cute'. I hate it. I was like 'Why would you say that to anybody.' I never liked that word. I have learned to be graceful and accept it now, that people throw it at me. But I just felt that it is very limiting," explained Shahid.
Shahid Kapoor on his fondness for grey characters
In his chat with Pinkvilla, the actor also confessed that he possesses a great fondness for the grey-shaded characters. "I am attracted to unconventional characters. You have to be an artist, which is what Farzi is all about. So, I think some of my personal angst is attached to Sunny in Farzi. And I wanted to express myself, you know. I wanted people to see my soul, to understand my emotions, to experience my mind, and not just stay busy with what is outside. That's important, it matters," concluded Shahid Kapoor.
