Rajkummar Rao who is currently busy promoting his upcoming movie Stree 2 recently appeared on Ajio presents Pinkvilla’s Masterclass with co-star Shraddha Kapoor. The actor shared several bits and bytes from his career in our hour-long interview among which he also confessed that he could have done his 2012 movie Shahid differently if it was offered to him today.

When asked to look back at any such films that he thinks see a different Sunday today, Rajkummar Rao told us, “It happens with every film to be honest. You also grow as a human being. What I was 10 years back when I did Shahid and today I have more experience as a person. I have lived more life. I am way more mature in my thought process. I think it’s a very natural process that every actor goes through. I think you ask any actor how would you look back and say, they’ll be like Ya, I wish I could do it now. It could have been different. I don’t know better or not, but different for sure.”

Shraddha Kapoor was also asked to share her thoughts on the same, to which the actress told us, “When I see myself, there are 10 questions going on in my head. Should have I done it like this? This is not a particular film, this is probably all the films. There is a parallel narrative going on in my head. Should it have been like this or that then after some time I’ll be like it’s all good the way it is. (I believe) take your learnings and move forward and apply them forward. I feel that for me, the best is yet to come.”
