Recently, the actor recalled the memory of the past days.

For the unversed, the movie starred Karisma Kapoor, Shah Rukh Khan, and Madhuri Dixit. However, Shahid shared that it was really 'nervousal'.

Sharing how he was a nervous wreck, Shahid Kapoor shared:

"Dil To Pagal Hai was really nervousal… I have no favourite memories. My hair was bouncing around too much and I was spoiling the shot so I was really nervous. I had just joined Shiamak’s troupe, so I was probably one of the rookies there. I was just nervous all the time. I was a nervous wreck, just hoping I don’t mess things up."
