4 Shocking Controversies Of "Kabir Singh" Star Shahid Kapoor In His Career

Shahid Kapoor is currently riding high on the success of his latest release Kabir Singh. The film is on its way to enter the desirable 300 crore club in spite of many new films at the ticket window.

Even before the film released, its trailer and soundtracks took the internet by storm. In the film, Shahid gets into the skin of a successful doctor who then becomes self-destructive as he gets to know that his girlfriend (played by Kiara Advani) is forced to get married to someone else.

However, Kabir Singh came under severe criticism for toxic masculinity and glorifying misogyny. Also, one Mumbai-based doctor registered a complaint against the filmmakers for depicting doctors in a bad light. Notably, Shahid Kapoor was even questioned for choosing the role.

Despite all that, the film managed to perform incredibly well at the box office and becomes one of the biggest hits of the year so far.

Maybe you don’t know, this is not the first time Shahid Kapoor has landed into trouble. Let’s look back at 4 shocking controversies of Shahid Kapoor in his career!

Found with Priyanka Chopra at her house by Income Tax officers

After calling it to quit with Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor, the actor was romantically linked with Priyanka Chopra. The two did not have to publicly address their relationship when one-morning Income Tax officers knocked on the door of the Priyanka’s apartment and were surprisingly greeted by Shahid Kapoor clad only in his shorts.

Dispute with Salman Khan

It happened when Shahid was just a newbie in Bollywood and Salman took him on his Rockstars world tour which unfortunately failed to become a hit. Given that, Salman asked him to receive less money in order to save the losses but the actor held his ground and wanted to take full money. As a result, he had an argument with Salman.

Fall out with filmmaker Aditya Chopra

As per the report, Shahid turned down YRF's Shuddh Desi Romance for some invalid reasons and this did not go down with YRF head Aditya Chopra as he later had a fall out with Shahid.

Unprofessional behavior

Shahid made the makers of Once Upon A Time In Mumbai Dobaara wait for months before confirming that he had no interest in playing the role of Chhota Rajan’s character.
