One of Bollywood’s most adored performers is Shahid Kapoor. With the release of Ishq Vishk in 2003, he made his significant Bollywood debut, and ever since then, he has been enthralling audiences with his strong performances. Shahid recently dazzled the crowd with his digital debut, Farzi. He absolutely crushed it with his spectacular performance.

Vijay Sethupathi, Bhuvan Arora, Raashii Khanna, Kay Kay Menon, and Amol Palekar all had significant parts in the series. Pinkvilla recently had an intimate meeting with the man of the moment while basking in the popularity of his series. Shahid discussed a variety of topics including his OTT debut, Farzi’s success, planned ventures, and much more.

Shahid was candid in the interview regarding his acting career. He talked about his early years before describing his trip as “psychotic.” Also, he mentioned how his experience had been a “learning curve.” Shahid disclosed, “It’s been pretty psychotic (laughs). When I look back at my own career, I am like ‘what was I thinking with some of the choices?’ Kaminey followed up by Dil Bole Hadippa!, Haider followed up by R Rajkumar. I don’t know what was going on with me (laughs). It’s been a learning curve and I hope that I can…I know sometimes it’s not welcoming but I keep telling Mira (Rajput) and Ishaan (Khatter) that a lot of times. I am like ‘Maine bahut galtiyaan ki hai, main tumlogo ko bata deta hu, tumlog mat karo’. But they are like ‘Go to hell, we are our own people and we will make our own choices’. But yes, you learn from your mistakes and I have made many but I am very proud of the last 20 years.”

He went on to say that he is “quietly ambitious” and that he has a lot more to say. Shahid continued, “I feel very lucky, there’s a lot of gratitude that I have that I am here 20 years later. I am very proud of some of the work that I have done in terms of quality. I am generally proud of everything that I have done because everything is a stepping stone to get to where you want to get. I feel like I am very young at heart as an artist still, I think there’s a lot left within me to express and I am very quietly ambitious. I don’t like to shout and jump and make noise, that’s not my style. I like my work to speak for itself but there is still a lot of ambition within. How it will unfold only time will tell. But yes, there’s a lot more that I feel that I need to do.”

Farzi season two will indeed happen, according to Shahid. The release of the sequel is keenly anticipated by internet users.
