Shahid Kapoor
Shahid Kapoor

On Sunday afternoon, Shahid Kapoor attended a special session of Jio MAMI’s Movie Mela, where he was in conversation with Anupama Chopra and Rajeev Masand. The talk, it seems, was a great hit, with many people noting that he was fun and laid-back. But probably the funniest moment happened after the chat, when Shahid met journalists to take a few questions. One, in particular, asked him whether his current look was for Padmavati – and the answer Shahid gave him made everyone laugh.

Here’s what he said:

Abey raja aise lagte thhe? Teen din pehle maine mera brand launch kiya tha, SKULT. Toh maine uske kapde pehne hue hai. Raja Rawal Ratan banke thodi aaonga MAMI film festival mein.

(“Did kings look like this? 3 days ago, I launched my braind, SKULT. So I’m wearing those clothes. I’m not going to dress up as Raja Rawal Ratan and come to MAMI film festival.”)

Hah!
