After Shandaar, Shahid Kapoor once again shared the screen with his dad and veteran actor Pankaj Kapur in his latest release Jersey. The father-son duo turned coach and cricketer onscreen for the sports drama that also stars Mrunal Thakur.

Shahid and Mrunal recently appeared on The Kapil Sharma Show hosted by comedian and television host Kapil Sharma where they talked about the film. Kapil asked Shahid if he takes feedback from his father on acting after a scene is shot.

To this Shahid replied,  “I ask him. But it is not his nature to comment on others’ acting. I think it is because he is such a superior actor that he finds others’ acting very bad. He must be thinking that he can’t explain so much to the other person, so it’s better to just praise.”

Pankaj Kapur is one of the greatest actors who has been working for over four decades in Hindi films, television and theatre. 

“He is so good as an actor that it doesn’t make sense to ask him. For him, it will always be a bad shot. But sometimes, he says that he liked what I did. And it’s very special for me,” Shahid added.

Kapil then goes on to ask if he ever has any feedback to give on his kissing scenes and Shahid’s response was hilarious. 

He asked, “Tell me one thing. I am doing such a scene and my dad is present there, why will this happen?”. He imitated his dad’s probable reaction if he were on the set where his son Shahid was about to shoot a kissing scene.

He said, “Aur beta, aaj kaunsi shooting chal rahi hai? Oho, Mrunal bhi aayi hai (So, son, what are you shooting today? Oh, Mrunal is also here). What are the dialogues of today’s scene?” 

Adding to this, Kapil said, “Actor toh main bade kamaal ka hoon lekin kismat teri badi kamaal ki hai (I am a great actor but you are the one with great luck).”

It sure would be weird for Pankaj Kapur and so would it be for Shahid.
