Shah Kapoor Heartbreaks
Talking about heartbreaks in relationships before his marriage, Shahid Kapoor said, "I have had many heartbreaks. All of them changed me. Sometimes when your heart breaks you feel you are not good enough. Heartbreaks are so interesting that you love someone very much but when they reject you, you run behind them to a degree that your dignity breaks. You sacrifice your dignity and you don't even realise that you have lost your self-respect. That realisation comes after many years. I would tell my best friend bro hold on to your dignity. That is the most interesting thing in love. Of course, you go through that also. You listen to the best heartbreak songs."
"But, it's an evolutionary process. These are the moments you decide who you want to become. If it hasn't helped you to decide what you want to become then you wasted the opportunity, bro. You get to learn what kind of person you can endure. You only realise this after heartbreak. You have to understand that if your partner is bringing out the best in you or the worst in you. Whenever you are in a relationship, I feel I should not be needy for something from the other person and that's why I want the relationship. That is a very selfish reason to want to find love."
"I am needy. I want to be comforted, I want to feel like I am so important, I can't see beyond this person, all these things are selfish. We all want love and attention. Eventually, you should be able to give in a relationship. You should be able to be the giver. It's very important."
How did Shahid Kapoor move on?
Shahid Kapoor said, "I did arrange marriage bro, so my entire setup was changed. In that fundamental dignity comes that you dont know each other very well, so you have to take every step with respect thinking what they would like, and what they would not. When you are in a relationship, sometimes you assume that you understand things about the other person. But, as you go deeper into the relationship your assumptions get broken.
