Actor Shahid Kapoor has recently shared some shocking revelations about his blockbuster movie 'Kabir Singh' in his new interview. The actor revealed how the film also starring Kiara Advani became a family movie even though it was “aggressive and edgy”.

“It was technically an adult movie, but the number of people who have liked it and watched it with their families is unbelievable,” said the 41-year-old in an interview with Bombay Times.

The Vivah actor added, “Somehow, it made it to the family space despite being edgy and aggressive.”

Despite being a hit movie at the box office, the film gained a lot of negative publicity due to its misogyny and toxic masculinity. The scene that caught everyone’s attention on the internet was when Kabir smacked Preeti (played by Kiara Advani) on the face.
