Was Shahid Kapoor Insulted On Padmaavat Sets: Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 2018 magnum opus 'Padmaavat' is all set to release on big screens once again. Starring Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor in the lead, the historical-drama was one of the highest-grossing films of the year. Besides the record-breaking moolah, the film was also in the headlines due to several controversies. Now, ahead of the re-release, a netizen's alleged claim about Shahid Kapoor being 'insulted' on SLB's sets is going viral on the internet.

Shahid Kapoor Confesses About Being Made To Feel 'Lesser' As A Star Before Kabir Singh

Shahid Kapoor, who is currently gearing up for the release of his next 'Deva', recently recalled a moment when he was made to feel 'lesser' as a star before Sandeep Reddy Vanga's 'Kabir Singh'. While the actor didn't take any name, netizens were quick enough to decode that the actor was talking about his experience from 'Padmaavat'.

During a podcast with Raj Shamani, Shahid Kapoor can be seen confessing, "Ye Kabir Singh ke pehle mere saath hua tha. Mere andar jo kuch tha, mujhe laga ke I am lesser. Mujhe aisa mehsoos karaya gaya. Kisi ne zabardasti nahi ki. As an artist, as a star, as an individual. Mujhe aisa situation mein dala gaya ke mujhe aisa feel ho ke main kam hoon. Aur yeh main kabhi accept nahi karunga. It's like your clothes are better than mine. It's a comparative. Sometimes life puts you in a situation where it plays out in a way where somebody is... you're in enclosed proximity and you're made to feel lesser. It's nobody's fault, I'm not getting into that. But that is what I went through for some time. And I was made to feel like that. And I fought it. (sic)"

For those uninitiated, Shahid had once talked about feeling like an 'outsider' on the sets of Bhansali's 'Padmaavat'.
