Shahid Kapoor on Kabir Singh getting mixed responses

During the episode, Shahid was asked if anything would change his mind to not accept the role of Kabir Singh if he could given a time machine. To this, the actor said that he would change nothing.
Shahid continued, "You don't Kabir, great. I'm not here to convince you to like a character. I'm here to be the character. That is what cinema should be. It should be able to create conversation, it should be able to represent society honestly so we actually sit down and talk about it. My job was to play the character. Everybody else's job is to decide what they felt about it and that's great. We should talk about that if something is unacceptable to a certain set of people, they should be able to say that but nobody should be able to say, 'You cannot make something like this.' That does not make any sense."
He further added, "Creative freedom has to be there. You have to be able to do different things. We live in a society where we have to accept different opinions. So I'm very happy with everybody's opinions and respectful of everybody's opinions."
