MUMBAI: Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor recently shared candid insights into his early days in the industry, revealing that he never felt truly accepted and was treated poorly by some. Speaking on a podcast with Neha Dhupia, Shahid opened up about his dislike for the concept of 'camps' in Bollywood and how he has learned to stand up to bullies.

Shahid recalled his school days in Mumbai, where he felt like an outsider due to his Delhi accent. He mentioned, "I was really badly treated for a very long time. Bahar waale ko aasani se accept nahi karte ye log, inko bada problem hota hai ke tum aa kaise gaye andar. So for many years you deal with that." This experience left a lasting impact on him, shaping his perspective on acceptance and inclusivity in the industry.

The actor emphasized the importance of being comfortable with others but highlighted that it shouldn't lead to excluding or demeaning others. He stated, "That doesn’t mean you diss other people or put other people down or you close the doors to other people. And I think that that’s something which does happen in this fraternity."
