Shahid Kapoor, known for his diverse roles and willingness to transform physically, has ignited a debate with his recent comments about actors who maintain a consistent look in every film.
Following the release of his latest film, "Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya," Kapoor shared his belief that some actors prioritize their own image over the demands of the role. "There are few actors who love themselves a little too much and no matter what character they play, they like to look the same," he stated in an interview. "I am not one of them."
While Kapoor didn't name names, his comments have sparked lively discussions online. Some viewers agree with his assertion, praising his commitment to embodying different characters. Others feel his remarks are unnecessarily critical of colleagues, highlighting that personal preferences and individual branding strategies also play a role.
This isn't the first time Kapoor has spoken about his approach to acting. He has previously emphasized the importance of transformation and has undergone significant physical changes for roles like the troubled Kabir Singh in "Kabir Singh" or the historical warrior Raja Rawal Ratan Singh in "Padmaavat."
Whether sparking debate or simply expressing his own artistic philosophy, Kapoor's comments have certainly captured attention. It remains to be seen if other actors will respond directly or if the discussion will evolve into a wider conversation about the balance between personal image and artistic commitment within the film industry.
