Shahid Kapoor reveals he quit smoking because of THIS movie

Shahid Kapoor revealed in a recent interview that it was due to one of his movies that he was pushed to quit smoking. We saw Shahid play an alcoholic in the movie Kabir Singh and his character was constantly smoking in the movie. But ironically Shahid says that it was Kabir Singh that go him over smoking.

Shahid was seen as a surgeon Kabir Rajdheer Singh in the 2019 film which was a remake of the 2017 Telugu film Arjun Reddy which starred Vijay Deverakonda. Seen opposite Shahid was Kiara Advani who played Preeti Sikka. After Kabir and Preeti’s relationship goes downhill, Kabir starts abusing drugs and alcohol, he even becomes a chain smoker.

When Shahid was asked if the vegetarian diet was the secret to him looking young, Shahid told BeerBiceps, “Some changes definitely, but I think eventually it’s all in your soul. It’s in your heart. It’s the emotions that drive you. Like I focus on my children a lot. Because they’re so much pure energy out there and it’s just an unadulterated, raw, beautiful emotion. I feel enriched whenever I spend time with them. It takes me back to the version of me that I loved the most, which was the child version of me, where everything was amazing. I just try and focus on that.”

Further talking about his lifestyle, Shahid said, “Physically, I’m pretty disciplined when it comes to sleep now. I used to be a complete insomniac, and I flipped that after I had my kids. Because I decided that I need to run my day according to them because they can’t run it according to me. And I’m vegetarian, and I don’t drink. I have been a smoker on and off but now for a few years, I haven’t smoked. I think Kabir Singh kind of did it for me. I can’t. I’m done. I was done.”
