Shahid Kapoor opened up about his struggles being an outsider in the glitzy world of Bollywood.
The Jab We Met actor recently appeared for an interview at a show No Filter Neha hosted by Neha Dhupia.
Speaking of the start of his career as a background dancer, Shahid said, “When you start with Shaimak (Davar, choreographer), you have to be in the last line. So, forget being behind a star – you are also behind your contemporaries."
He added, "You have to earn your right to be in the first row, to be more central as opposed to in the corner and so it’s a lot of work and I just I love that."
The actor revealed that outsiders do not easily get big opportunities despite being talented.
He shared, "I also came from outside, actually, because I came from Delhi to Bombay with my mom, and then I struggled."
"I didn’t have any channels. Talent is not being given an opportunity as much as it should, and I pride myself in the fact that I am here because of the work that I did and because of the actor that I learned to become, and whatever it is, I give to the craft," the Kabir Singh actor said.
On the work front, Shahid was last seen in the film 'Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya' alongside Kriti Sanon.
