Despite being touted as a talent powerhouse by the critics, Shahid has only a few hits against his name. From being unprofessional to arrogant, several controversies show he is quite a Bad Boy of Bollywood.
Shahid Kapoor caught in a string of love affairs
Shahid has not just lived his romantic hero image on the screen but also off it. From dating his first co-star Hrishitaa Bhatt to Kareena Kapoor Khan with who he had the longest relationship in the showbiz industry, Shahid had been a busy man. His link-up stories with actresses Priyanka Chopra, Sonakshi Sinha, Vidya Balan, Anushka Sharma, Amrita Rao and Bipasha Basu have been a major talking points.
Fall out with Yash Raj Films and Aditya Chopra
Working with Yash Raj Films is a dream of every actor in Bollywood but Shahid Kapoor dared to tick YRF’s head honcho Aditya Chopra off. The reports of fallout date back to the Shuddh Desi Romance days when Shahid signed Maneesh Sharma to direct the movie but backed out citing the falling health of Maneesh. Sushant Singh Rajput was roped in place of Sasha. Another reason which came out as a rift between Aditya and the 35-year-old actor was ‘asked to leave because he turned up for one of their rituals in a pair of shorts. He had also refused to attend the reading and rehearsal sessions later.
Arrogance and unprofessionalism
There are several instances in Shahid Kapoor’s long stay in the industry which reflected his ‘unprofessional’ behaviour openly. Shahid made Balaji Motion Pictures wait for two months before telling them not to be too keen on playing Chhota Rajan’s character in Once Upon ay Time in Mumbai Dobaara! His high headedness has been one of the reasons losing out on huge projects like Siddharth Anand’s Bang Bang, Karan Johar produced Gori Tere Pyar Mein.
