I will bully the bully because they deserve it: Shahid

Despite both his parents being actors, Bollywood star Shahid Kapoor has expressed that he felt like an outsider in Bollywood. He spoke with actress Neha Dhupia in an episode of “No filter Neha.” He stated that when he moved to Mumbai from Delhi he would have difficulty in adjusting as his accent varied on account of hailing from a different city. 

He felt that the same experience carried on when he entered the Bollywood film industry. “I came into this industry and realised ye toh school ke tarah hi hai (This is just like school). Outsiders are not accepted easily here. They have a big issue with how you managed to come in here. So, for many years I dealt with that. I don’t like this campy thing. I think people who want to creatively collaborate with each other should, people who are comfortable with each other should. But that doesn’t mean you diss other people and try to put other people down or close the doors to other people. And I think that as a teenager or young adult I didn’t have the confidence to fight back but now, if you try to bully me, I will bully you right back. I will bully the bully because they deserve it,” Shahid said.
