Shahid Kapoor’s advice to his children for entering showbiz.

In a new interview, the “Deva” actor spoke about his children and why he doesn’t want them to enter Bollywood. Speaking on Raj Shamani’s podcast Figuring Out, he said, “Kaafi saari cheezein hain (There are many things) that I do not want them to take from me. I want them to be more confident inherently, which I think they both are. I wasn’t inherently that confident. Ideally, I wouldn’t want them to do my job, picture mein mat aana yaar. Kuch aur karo, Bahut up and down hota hai yaar, bahut rough hai. (Don’t get into acting. Do something else. There are many ups and downs, it’s very rough) If they want to, it’s their choice, but I would be like choose something simple, this is too complex.”

“Always do the right thing.”

Shahid Kapoor added about what he wants to teach his kids, saying, “Always do the right thing, I always try and do the right thing, whether I am liking it, whether someone else is not liking it, whether it is damaging to me, doesn’t matter, I will do the right thing.”

It revolves around him as a rebellious police officer tasked with solving a high-profile case that unravels layers of deceit, betrayal, and a dangerous conspiracy.
