Shahid Kapoor opened up about his struggling days

In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Shahid Kapoor opened up about his struggling days and shared that he is a self-made actor. He also mentioned that he gets really upset whenever somebody calls him a star kid and mentions that he got into stardom because of his father, Pankaj Kapur. The actor said:

“I’m one of those self-made guys who people think because his papa was an actor, he got it easy. And I get very upset with that. I’m like ‘hey guys, you don’t know my struggle’. Just because my father was Pankaj Kapur doesn’t mean that I had it easy because I didn’t even live with him. I lived with my mom.”

Shahid Kapoor on not taking his dad, Pankaj Kapur's help in his early days

For the uninitiated, Shahid Kapoor and his father, Pankaj Kapur worked together in two movies, Shaandaar and Jersey. Talking about his dad, Shahid shared that his father is a very proud man, who struggled in his early days, and he never offered Shahid any help. Shahid said:

“He (Pankaj) was a very proud man. He would never tell his son ki mein yaha call kar deta hoon, jaake unse mil le. He was not like that. He was like I struggled my way up and I was too proud to ask him also ever for any support. In fact, I never even brought it up with him nor did he ever ask me. It just never came up. So of course, it has been 20 years of a lot of work.”
