Actor Shahid Kapoor, who is currently basking in the success of his recently released film O'Romeo, helmed by Vishal Bhardwaj, shared his opinion on the incessant trolling actors receive nowadays on the internet. He condemned the act with strong words and highlighted the importance of striking a balance between allowing public opinion in one's life and holding oneself up irrespective of what the internet says.
Appearing on The Right Angle with Sonal Kalra, Season 3, he said, “It’s a difficult journey because you have to open up, but also be mindful of what & how much you allow to sit in your system. Do you want to wake every morning & make everyone happy or yourself happy? You need to reiterate to yourself, Did I have a good time? Did it help me grow? And was it a true representation of my creative energy? Ultimately, it needs to satisfy my hard work & the feeling of achieving something?”
