Shahid Kapoor recently appeared on a popular podcast where he discussed a range of topics, including his upcoming release Deva, his upbringing with a single parent, and his perspective on parenting.

When asked about qualities he hopes his children inherit or avoid, the Kabir Singh actor shared, “Always do the right thing, I always try and do the right thing, whether I am liking it, whether someone else is not liking it, whether it is damaging to me, doesn't matter, i'll do the right thing.”

However, Shahid candidly expressed his hesitation about his kids entering the film industry. “Kaafi saari cheeze hai (there are a lot of things), that I do not want them to take from me, I want them to be more confident inherently, which I think they both are. I wasn't inherently that confident. Ideally, I wouldn't want them to do my job, picture mein mat aana yaar. Kuch aur karo, Bohot up and down hota hai yaar, bohot rough hai. (Don’t get into acting. Do something else. There are many ups and downs, it’s very rough) If they want to, it's their choice, but I would be like choose something simple, this is too complex.ct, I’ll support them, but I’d prefer they pursue something less complex.”

The conversation also touched on Shahid’s latest project, Deva. At the film’s trailer launch, the actor described the role of Dev Ambre as deeply personal.

Deva is a piece of my heart,” Shahid said. “For many years, people were telling me to do a massy film, something that resonates with the masses. For me, this is the next step in my journey. It’s been one of the most challenging films of my career. There’s so much in Dev’s character that I don’t want to reveal just yet.”

Directed by Rosshan Andrrews, Deva is slated to release on January 31, 2025.
