Shahid Kapoor Struggles

In a recent interview, the Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor opened up about his struggles before making it to Bollywood. Shahid Kapoor said “I knew my dad and had a good equation, but I was with my mother since I was 3. When Ishaan was born, I was 14, and my mom stopped working because she had to take care of him. She was 35-36 when Ishaan was born, and it isn’t easy having a child at that age. And being a working woman with a 14-year-old son, being in Mumbai, it was her second marriage… A lot was happening to her at that time. It wasn’t like she could make a call and get me work. She was trying to get back to work herself, and it wasn’t easy. People just forget you.”

Shahid Kapoor went on and said, he didn’t want to seek his father’s help. “She was struggling to balance all those things, and we were living in rented houses. I didn’t have a relationship with my father where I would allow myself to ask him… Having said that I had a great relationship with him, but I didn’t want to ask… That’s not how I wanted to do it. He was always there for advice and guidance, yes, but I wanted to do it on my own. I was very proud of that. This was the only route for me.” The actor added.
