Shahid Kapoor recalls sticking posters of his debut movie Ishq Vishk before its release
At a recently held Pinkvilla Masterclass, the actor reminisced the night before the release of Ishq Vishk and how he stuck posters of the movie. “I went out for a drive with a friend of mine and there were people sticking posters of my film and I got off and stuck the posters with them. The guy was sticking the poster at two in the morning. He didn’t care usko neend aa rahi thi (He didn’t care he was feeling sleepy). Then I told him ye meri picture hai (This is my film). Then he took a couple of times and said ‘Oh, ye tumhari picture hai! (Oh! This is your film) All the best!" said Shahid.

Shahid recalls changed behavior of people post interval of first show of the movie
During the interview, Kapoor reminisced about going to the theater for the first show of Ishq Vishk, with the director, producer, and Amrita Rao. Mentioning how the team reached before the show commenced and being more excited than the audience, Shahid recalled the team standing in a queue, just like in wedding receptions.
“The crowd started coming. They shook our hands (saying) ‘Hello, acha aapki picture hai? (Oh, it's your film?) All the best! I was like what’s going on? This is very weird. This is not how it’s supposed to be. The interval of the film happened and people came out and we were still standing there like that and suddenly, everybody’s behavior completely changed. They started crowding us and they wanted autographs and I was like ‘Abhi dedh ghante pehle to hum khade the. Hume ye log itna bhi importance nahi de rahe the. Abhi suddenly kaise ho gaya?’ (Just an hour and a half ago we were standing here. They were not giving us even a little bit of importance. How did it happen suddenly?) That is the magic of filmmaking. That’s how people view you. What you do in front of the camera between action and cut,” noted Kapoor.
He further noted that the audience’s perception can get altered in an hour and a half to a degree that they can treat you in a different manner and one should be thankful for the love and adulation.
