Shahid Kapoor reacts to fewer conversations during his launch
In an exclusive interaction with us, Shahid Kapoor who completed 20 years in the Bollywood industry reacted to how the conversation was around him during his launch time. The actor with a laugh said, "There was no conversation that was happening around me. Nobody knew who I was. I was hoping that somebody will be interested in me and somebody will give me an opportunity so it was a very regular kind of struggle for me."
He further added, "I had to prove myself many times, got rejected many times, and never gave up because you know now when I look back 20 years back I'm like yaar I don't know I was very thick skin pata nehi maine kaise kar liya (no idea how I did it). So you have to have a lot of belief in yourself even at a time when nobody else believes in you, you must believe in yourself because you have to prove to other people that you're worthy of their belief and that has to first start with you proving to yourself that you're worthy of your own belief. So you have to believe in yourself and start working towards things and you should never expect people to accept you just like that because that would be so boring."

Shahid continued, "Whatever is coming your way believe in yourself and keep moving and that's what I did so there was not much chatter around me. Thankfully things have changed a little."
