We
all
know
what
happened
when
Shahid
Kapoor-starrer
Kabir
Khan
released
in
theatres.
Even
though
the
film
was
a
blockbuster,
it
was
slammed
mercilessly
by
many
moviegoers,
as
they
felt
that
the
film
promoted
toxic
masculinity.
In
several
interviews,
Shahid
defended
his
character
in
the
film,
but
couldn't
really
convince
the
naysayers
and
they
slammed
the
actor
as
well,
for
agreeing
to
do
a
film
like
Kabir
Singh.
Cut
to
present,
Shahid
is
currently
gearing
up
for
the
release
of
his
upcoming
film
Jersey,
which
also
stars
Mrunal
Thakur
in
the
lead
role.
During
the
promotions
of
the
film,
when
the
duo
was
asked
if
they
feel
it
is
unfair
of
audience
to
judge
the
actors
on
the
basis
of
characters,
which
they
play
in
their
films,
here's
what
they
said...
While
speaking
to
Bollywood
Bubble,
Mrunal
said,
"We
are
actors,
we
are
just
playing
our
character
and
it
really
exists
and
it
is
very
silly
to
show
only
the
good
things.
I
mean
there
are
characters
like
that,
I've
seen
there
are
a
lot
of
Vidya
who
can
slap
their
husband
also."
Shahid
on
the
other
hand,
said,
"Anybody
who
can
provide
a
platform
can
be
targeted
whether
that's
an
actor
or
a
sports
person,
or
someone
who
is
very
successful.
There's
always
that
negative
side
to
the
position
that
you
have.
And
it
is
very
true
for
the
actors
and
for
our
fraternity
because
it
is
very
easy
to
get
any
kind
of
footage,
so
that
does
happen,
sometimes
it
is
necessary,
sometimes
it
is
fair.
So,
it
depends
from
situation
to
situation,
which
one
feels
appropriate
which
one
doesn't
but
it
is
something
that
happens
very
often
for
sure."
