Shahid Kapoor is currently gearing up for the release of his film ‘Deva’. The actor has been on a promotional spree for the movie and during an interview recently, the actor also spoke about his journey, his personal life and going through heartbreaks, professionally and personally. When asked if he’s gone through a heartbreak, Shahid said that he has many a times.
During this chat on Raj Shamani’s podcast, Shahid was further asked about his biggest learning from a heartbreak and he revealed how he has also lost his self respect and dignity in a relationship. He said, “Sometimes you love someone so much that when they reject you, you chase them to a degree that you start losing your dignity. You sacrifice your dignity and you don’t even realise that you have lost your self-respect in the process, and that realisation happens much later and you think, ‘What was I doing?’”
As Shahid said this, many fans commented and wondered if he’s talking about Kareena Kapoor Khan. While some fans blatantly dropped Kareena’s name, a user cryptically commented, ‘Jab They Met’. For those not in the know, Shahid and Kareena were in a serious relationship for many years before they broke-up. Kareena is now happily married to Saif Ali Khan while Shahid is married to Mira Rajput and they serve couple goals.
Shahid also spoke about the qualities which one should be looking in a partner after learning from the heartbreak. He said, “You decide who you want to become, and if it hasn’t helped you decide who you want to become, then you have wasted the opportunity, or you have not gotten anything good out of it.”
He added, “Because falling in love with someone is different but you need to understand if they are bringing the best or worst out of you because eventually, you have to live with yourself.”
The ‘Ishq Vishq’ actor also spoke about being unconditionally loving in a relationship. “What I have learnt from love is that one should not be needy of something from the other person. That’s a very selfish reason to want to find love. ‘I am needy, I need to be comforted, I need to be made to feel like I am so important, I can’t see beyond this person’, all of this is selfish. We all want that love and attention but eventually, you should be able to give in a relationship. You should be able to be the giver,” he said.
