Shahid Kapoor Disliked Being Called CUTE

With Farzi, Shahid Kapooor recently discussed his two-decade Bollywood career in an interview. He claimed he detested his “cute” reputation but had grown to “be graceful and embrace it.”

Since then, Shahid has been in a number of movies, including Vivah, Jab We Met, Kaminey, Padmaavat, and Kabir Singh. In a recent interview, he reminisced on his acting career and talked about being perceived as “cute.”

“I hate that word Vanilla. You know, I used to hate it when people say ‘Oh you are cute’. I hate it. I was like ‘Why would you say that to anybody.’ I never liked that word. I have learned to be graceful and accept it now that people throw it at me. But I just felt that it is very limiting,” Shahid told Pinkvilla.
