• Rumors suggested that Shahid was referring to Kartik or Salman Khan.

Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor recently sparked buzz with his candid remarks during a podcast with Raj Shamani. He commented on certain actors in the industry who, according to him, are “full of themselves” and make their presence overly known. Mimicking their behavior, Shahid said, “They walk into a room making everyone aware of their presence,” and added that “they need to chill.” These remarks left netizens speculating if Shahid was referring to Kartik Aan or Salman Khan.

To address the rumors, Shahid appeared at the HT City office today, Janu 28, with his Deva co-star Pooja Hegde during an HT City Stars in the City event. During a rapid-fire round, when asked if his comments were aimed at Salman Khan, Shahid clarified, “Haan, but mujhe ek-do logo ne message kiya aisa soch ke. Main toh honestly naa aise hi baat kar raha tha, socha bhi nahi tha. But if I want to take a dig, it will never be at somebody who is so senior, so established, and who I have so much respect for. Just to clear that out!”

Shahid’s fans had faith all along, with one tweeting, “Woh Salman Khan ke bareme kuch bol he nahi sakta. He respects him a lot ,” while another stated, “Salman always appreciates Shahid’s dance and performances.”

On the work front, Shahid is gearing up to impress in Deva, releasing on Janu 31. Playing a badass cop, alongside Pooja Hegde as a journalist, Shahid’s fans eagerly await his magic on screen.
