Shahid’s here to stay!!!

 Shahids here to stay!!!

I just love the way an actor will defend their movies. No matter how bad, how lame, how incorrect, how crass stars will always have a set bunch of responses to counter- attack any statement made.
  1. “This kind of role has never been done before, so it does not matter if people do not like this film because I felt it was a really challenging experience.”
  2. “Audiences just did not understand this movie, India is not ready for this kind of extreme cinema”
  3. “This is experimental cinema so one does not expect it to be a box-office hit.”
  4. (and this being my personal favorite) “I believe in the role and still do.”

Shahid Kapur recently added another one to the list. He claims that what critics say about his films does not mean anything to him because he simply does not make films for them, he acts for the audiences (conveniently forgetting that most of the audience too though Kismat Konnection sucked!!) Papers talk of Kismat Konnection being his hat-trick, which leaves me a little confused. Hat-trick of what?? Flops!!?! I really don’t think their are too many people out there who would consider Jab We Met as a super hit and God only knows what his first one was called.

Kapur also talks about how he is here to stay and is planning on doing movies for the next 20 years to come. Brace yourselves people we are in for a very very very long 20 years!!!
