Shahid Kapoor: Went to everybody like a beggar after 'Kabir Singh' released

Bollywood megastar Shahid Kapoor talked to the Indian media during the trailer launch of his latest movie 'Jersey' on Tuesday and spilled some beans about his life post the success of his monster hit 'Kabir Singh' (2019).

"After Kabir Singh released, I went like a beggar to everybody. I went to all these people who've made these 200-250 crore films. I've never been a part of this club, so it was completely new to me. Having spent 15-16 years in the industry, I never had such a huge grosser. So, when it finally happened, I didn't know where to go, it was all new to me," he told the media while talking about the success of 'Kabir Singh'.
