New Delhi: Shahid Kapoor has come a long way in the industry ever since his debut in the romantic comedy 'Ishq Vishk' in 2003. Recently, in an interaction with former journalist Rajeev Masand, in a new podcast on the YouTube channel Shaardulogy, Masand shared that Shahid had his first-ever interview re-recorded for an interesting reason.
When Shahid Kapoor gave his first-ever interview
“I remember when I interviewed Shahid Kapoor for the first time. We did a whole interview, for 30-35 minutes. I think it was one of Shahid's first interviews, at the time of Ishq Vishk. After the interview, he asked if he can watch it. He sat and watched it and said he doesn't like the way he was sounding. And we did it all over again.” said Rajeev.
“But there was a pursuit of excellence, some perfection. You know, when someone is trying something new, when someone is saying, ‘Let’s not do this, let's do this.' We did an interview with Rekha ji a couple of years ago. The whole interview is done and then Rekha ji says, ‘Nah, I don’t want to do this. Can we scrap it?' First of all, she seldom gives interviews. That interview is still lying with me. She said we'd do it again,” Rajeev added.
When a senior female actor snapped at a younger one
He also added that during one of his popular actors' roundtables, a senior female actor snapped at a younger one 'for no reason'. When the latter requested him to remove that part, the host relented saying that what had happened was unfair. While he did not spell out the senior actor's name, he did hint that she's someone 'who always snaps'.
