In a journey spanning over two decades, Shahid Kapoor has never shied away from experimenting with his looks to transform into the characters he has played - whether it's Tommy Singh in Udta Punjab, Haider Meer in Haider, or Dev Ambre in the upcoming film Deva.
Shahid strongly believes that nothing is too much to invest in a character, especially for those who love what they do. He told IANS, "So I would say whatever it takes to get the job done, but of course, we are professional actors, you know, you don't need to actually do something. I think that's something sometimes people think that an actor should prep like that."
He added, "Some actors also think like that, but I don't at all prescribe to that kind of a mindset. I think it's a job and you should know professionally how to do it. But you should give everything that you have to make it the best that it can be."
Ever since his debut in 2003 with Ishq Vishk, Shahid has given memorable characters in films such as Vivah, Phata Poster Nikhla Hero, Jab We Met, Haider, Udta Punjab, Kabir Singh and Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya to name a few.
