- “When I first started out, I think I was blind to the challenges… I was very thick-skinned, fortunately. I had a lot of dreams and I believed in them-because no one else did, except for mom and Ishaan. Mom always backed me-she’s the wind beneath our wings.
So, when my parents separated, it was a tough journey for her. Being the elder son, I wanted to support her as soon as I could. So I started dancing with Shiamak Davar at 15, soon became a professional dancer and started earning money. In a way, I didn’t really live my teenage years because I was working, but I loved what I did!”
From working as a dancer in ads and films, to then debuting as the boy-next-door in Ishq Vishq at the age of 23, Shahid Kapoor has had quite a remarkable journey.
Playing the ‘chocolate boy’ in many movies at the beginning of his career, over the years, Shahid redefined himself every step of the way in his 20-year-long acting career, with the most recent one being his OTT debut Farzi. He’s established himself as one of the most bankable actors in the industry today.
In this episode, we spoke to Shahid about his married life, being a father, how he disconnects from his glamorous acting world and how spirituality has helped him. Join us as we celebrate the incredible journey Shahid has been on and figure out, ‘How the Hell Did He Do It?’ Tune in now!

Honestly, so many of his answers took me by surprise. So real, so fun. LOVED the interview ❤
Us too!! Genuine, surprising, and pure entertainment!
Karishma ma'am, please keep asking questions on spiritual side of celebrities. We would love to hear more from them about spirituality and strengthen our faith in supreme lord.
But i found you so unprepared
That's what a real conversation is ❤
Thank you, Karishma, you listened well and gave him the space to talk... I don't know why, but the way you started the interview and listened to him, I felt like you were a fellow fan and were asking him about things we his fan would ask....
All the anchors MUST prep before interviewing shahid for sure!! He is so mature and sharp and you can't go with the flow with him!
Even our mistakes are concious decision!! Wow! Golden words! 😊
One more - Sometimes it's great that you have very few options. Then you can give your full energy to that one thing which is most important.
After watching this interview I have started liking Shahid more. So realistic interview it was.
It gives me so much pride and gratitude that I chose him to be my favourite actor. And he never disappointed me. Neither as a person, nor as an actor. Lots of love, Shahid!❤
His performance in Jersey was spot on..... Very underrated movie....
The best about this interview is it feels like normal ordinary person answering the life so simple and real 🙌🏻👍🏻
This interview was so soothing. I found Shahid more candid than in so called podcast. I appreciate the interviewer giving him space to express himself freely. Overall Loved it!
Absolutely 💯
Agreed ...one of his best interviews I came across...thanx to her questioning
An actor who pays attention to questions and gives beautiful answers to seemingly stupid questions even.
Loved the comment on "conscious decision" 😂❤
What an amazing talker Shahid has been turning into! He talks with so much humbleness and empathy. Listening to him is a delight. You get so much to learn. Brilliant. I hope he achieves more success.
What a mature and evolved human being Shahid is
Rarely does one across someone like him who is so intelligent witty good looking and grounded in the entertainment space
Loved watching the interview ❤
Have loved Shahid since Ishq Vishq.. To see him grow so much and take up such diverse roles is a treat 😍😍😍
An incredible journey of growth and versatility! ❤❤
Wow!! Never seen Shahid so candid about Kabir Singh! Bismil from Haider is a cinema masterpiece!! Vishal Bharadwaj supremacy❤❤
Agreed! Shahid's honesty shines through. Vishal Bharadwaj is exceptional! ❤❤
One of the most versatile actor in the industry!! From Jab we met to Kabir Singh!!! Killer performances!!!♥️♥️♥️

He is so composed and in sync with the entire universe it seems.. So much to learn from him..
shahid is one of the best actors in Bollywood, i can listen to him talk for hours
Same
We love his talent and charisma too!
THIS MAN HAS VAST KNOWLEDGE HE IS SPIRITUALY INCLINED FOLLOWER OF RADHA SWAMI ( BIAS )SINCE LONG. ALL HIS ANSWER'S WERE REAL , THE LAST LINE HE SAID , DONT BE A JACK OF ALL TRADES BUT A MASTER OF ONE !! ♥️♥️
Huge fan of SRK , the only person’s interviews I have loved watching over the years. But OMG! this was one of the best interviews I have seen in the longest time ! Watched it in one go. But Always loved Shahid since college days when we would bump often in Mithibai canteen and go to the same gym ‘Barbarian’ in Lokhandwala. Shahid please do more interviews dude ! ❤❤❤❤
This hostess is lucky and blessed i have noted her questions r really shitty but all actors open up so easily with her like Aamir khan poured his heart out was crying and she did not even know how to concole him and was making faces instead. Well some people r lucky..
Dont judge quickly.may be she didnot know what to do
Yeah I found that creepy that the host was Making really weird faces
I opened TH-cam only to get inspiration from someone and , this popped up .. I quickly jumped to the last section where Shahid advices and I needed that wisdom although I feel words coming from him meant to reach me .. Thanks SK for existing .. Uh are my hero 🥺🥰
Such a down to earth person. Shahid hat's off to you.
We all grow with time. Seeing him as a teenage boy with so much craze to grow this far is such a treat. HOB you never disappoint ya. Love and congratulations to all the hard work you put in . Keep soaring high !
Honestly, so many of his answers took me by surprise . So real , so fun. LOVED THE INTERVIEW KARI & SHAHID!!!
This was one of the best interviews yet!! Shahid was honest and real!! Loved the insight
Loved every bit of it. So genuine. Honestly didn't expect him to so candid but he was. At the end of the interview Shahid said that no one cares about his advice as everyone has a strong opinion of their own but I loved his advice and my favorite line was "Be the master of one, not the jack of all". Kinda needed it. Thanks ❤️
Was I the only one who thought they were too soft? I just couldn't hear them without earphones. This is not the first time I've felt this.
Oh man! Love the honesty & candidness here ! He’s just speaking his heart out ❤ No filters 😊
What an episode!! So many words of wisdom from this one… such a different interview of Shahid ❤️😍
Absolutely captivating! Shahid's wisdom shines through.
I feel very proud that Shahid is my favourite actor. He is such a true, realistic person which I have not felt like I am seeing an actor's interview. No dramatic answer. Very good to listen to this interview.
This interview is so relaxing and therapeutic! The interviewer and Shahid, both are relaxed, chilled out and comfortable!
Never seen Shahid’s journey like this. Loved the conversation ❤
This was such a great interview,shahid is so present,i absolutely loved this,so humbling❤
He doesn't come off as a celebrity one bit
My favourite actor and it was so good to see you guys on the screen. Loved the spiritual side of Shahid. Love him the most ❤️
What an amazing interview ,Appreciating
One of the best interviews of Shahid Kapoor, brings out his personality well.
The advice was so honest and from the heart... He is undoubtedly the best of them all... ❤❤
Loved when these actors speaks abt spiritually, meditation and inside soul..bcz most of us oly see glamour of their lyf. But reality is thy also equally believe in god and search for soul connection.
So so authentic.
My all time favourite actor ❤❤
Haider is his career's finest performance 💯
We agree! Haider was one of Shahid's career-defining performance.⭐

Very well conducted interview. Shahid spoke meaningfully and looked calm. Full marks to the interviewer.
Beautiful conversation. What a pure genuine soul shahid is !
His words are so therapeutic
I never looked at Shahid like that..he appeared to me as a very outspoken but little rude but I guess he isn't rude...his spiritual side took me by surprised and I feel very impressed by it and everything he said in that spiritual part. He seems to be very wise and matured as a person.❤ I realised that sometimes how we see a person at particular times or felt about them is not actually the way they are .. there's a lot to a person than we feels from outside...this is something that I learnt.
He was really so real❤.
Loved everything about the interview.
So candid!
Loved him from Jab we met days😊
Shahid has my heart ❤ he has grown as an actor and person so exceptionally well!! He’s so sorted & great I guess as a husband 😊
Loveee listening to him ❤
Such a candid chat, loved every bit of it. Never heard Shahid like this before 🦋
One of the best interview of him ❤
I love how shahid took her case ki question pucho gyaan nhi dunga - so true, half of these hosts do timepass
Really Shahid sir illustrate things beautifully when he talks it gives to one plenty of ways to express themselves
Love to hear him when he speaks or give interviews there are a lot to learn just by listing to him
I will never understand people who think he is a napo kid or had any advantage of being an actors son. When he got Ishq Vishq and even years after that, no one knew who his parents were. In fact, people got to know his parents BECAUSE of him. Both his parents are good actors but they weren't famous not commercially successful enough to even be known by majority of people. He was and is a self-made in truest definition in a industry where everyone got work because they knew each other's parents and grew up together. People who think he is a napo kid should go and read his interviews when he was struggling, especially when Ranbir Kapoor and others who came then were "stars" over night while Shahid was struggling to make a name for himself and harder to get good scripts to showcase his potential. No one gave him films because he was someone's son, no big budget movie for him, no Yash Raj or Dharma movie for him, he was pushed aside despite being more talented. Even though Kangana takes the credit and is given the credit, it was Shahid Kapoor who was asked about it all the time regarding other napo kids who were getting this and that bif movie and Shahid was called flop and given a lot of lash back ... He survived, all these years of hard work and thick skin, kept going... I would never get how can someone label him a napo kid when they didn't even know his parents before he made it so big that they had to get to know/mention, acknowledge his parents... They were respected, they are amazing character actors, but not enough for him to be called a napo kid ...
Well said
One of the BEST! 👌🏻
I wish Shahid did many many interviews ! Loved the interview❤❤
down to earth and just great soul.
Such a peaceful interview! Loved every minute of itt
