After three failures, Shahid Kapoor claims he was “depressed” while filming Vivah and asked Sooraj Barjatya if he wanted to take over: “People weren’t fond of me.”
When he was filming Sooraj Barjatya’s Vivah, Shahid Kapoor was going through a slump in his career. At one point, the actor was overcome with self doubt and asked the director if he wanted to replace Shahid. Though Shahid was experiencing “depression” while filming the movie, it ended up becoming a great smash. In a recent interview, Shahid reflected on that time, recalling how three of his projects had bombed in a single month and how he blamed himself for it.
Shikhar, Vaah! Life Ho Toh Aisi!, and Deewane Huye Paagal all failed within a month, and Shahid confided to Pinkvilla that he believed “people obviously don’t like me.” Shikhar, which starred Ajay Devgn and was directed by John Matthew Matthan of Sarfarosh, was a “disaster.” Vaah! Sanjay Dutt and Mahesh Manjrekar’s Life Ho Toh Aisi!, who had previously collaborated on Vaastav, were a “hit combination.” Furthermore, Shahid claimed that he has never seen the movie Deewane Huye Pagal.
