Shahid Kapoor, renowned for his range in Bollywood, has showcased his acting prowess through a myriad of diverse roles over the years. One notable portrayal was that of Maharawal Ratan Singh in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 2018 masterpiece, 'Padmaavat.' Sharing the screen with acclaimed actors Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone, Shahid essayed the role of Deepika's on-screen husband in the film. During a recent interview, the actor was posed with the question of whether he felt short-changed in his portrayal of Maharawal Ratan Singh. The actor candidly spoke about it.
 
During an interview with Mid-Day, Shahid Kapoor was asked if he felt short-changed in the Sanjay Leela Bhansali film. The actor replied, "I did. I don't want to get into the details, because I think eveybody was fantastic in that film and everybody did a lovely job. But I did feel at times, ‘why did I do this film?’. I felt like that, yes. But I don't want to blame anybody. Maybe I didn't have perspective at that time."

The actor was quizzed on whether sometimes he feels stuck in the middle of doing films, Shahid said, "Yeah yeah. it definitely happens. 100 percent." However, he stated that he is a professional, thus he completes his work. "And you try and do it to the best capacity that you can. You have to do it. That's what being a professional is all about. You've got to fulfill your duties and finish your job," said Shahid.
 
However, Shahid said that it happened during the initial phase of his career and not much later. "And there are also good days and bad days so that's okay. Early in my career yeah sometimes I didn't feel like I fitted in, but now in the last 8-10 years I would not say that so much," added Shahid.
