MUMBAI: As Shahid Kapoor gears up for the release of his upcoming film "Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya," he addressed Hrithik Roshan's recent statement regarding the challenges of being a star. In a conversation with Anupama Chopra for Film Companion, Shahid responded to Hrithik's viewpoint on feeling relaxed without the burden of star expectations.

Contrary to Hrithik's sentiment, Shahid humorously remarked, "I think I am on the other side of the fence. I have the opposite problem." Kapoor elaborated on his perspective, emphasizing that he values his identity as an actor and is reluctant to sacrifice it for stardom.

Acknowledging Hrithik's perspective, Shahid emphasized the diverse nature of their cinematic journeys, stating, "It is also the nature of films that we do, the choices we make, the graph that each one of us chooses. I think, in that, his journey is very different to mine."
