Shahid Kapoor on working with Ishaan Khatter

Shahid Kapoor’s brother Ishaan Khatter is all set to make his Bollywood debut in Shashank Khaitan’s directorial Dhadak opposite Janhvi Kapoor. Shahid has been supporting Ishaan ever since the latter embarked upon his journey in Bollywood.

Speaking about whether he will work with Ishaan in future, Shahid said to a leading Indian daily, "It’s always beautiful to share a movie with family. In such a case, things become even more special. So yes, it would be great and I would be happy to work with any of them. In fact, I haven’t worked much with dad as an actor (Kapoor Sr directed Shahid in Mausam; 2011), and I would really love for more of that to happen. As for Ishaan, he is just starting out, so, let him take off [in his career]. We will discuss those thoughts [of working together] later."


Shahid Kapoor’s performance in Padmaavat received lots of adulation. Talking about his family’s response over his performance in Padmaavat, Shahid revealed, "I remember everybody was very overwhelmed once the film got over. They all were very happy, overwhelmed and proud. They all know how long the journey [of preparing for and playing the character] has been and maybe, that’s why I got a lot of love from them (smiles). It always feels great when the family loves your work."

Shahid Kapoor will be next featured in Batti Gul Meter Chalu which stars Shraddha Kapoor and Yami Gautam. The film is helmed by Shree Narayan Singh. The film is slated to release on August 31, 2018.

From Anupama Parameswaran to Samantha Ruth Prabhu: Why the sexist ‘climber’ label follows women who date successful men

Highlights

  • Successful actresses are often accused of choosing relationships for money or status
  • The ‘gold digger’ and ‘climber’ labels can erase women’s own careers and financial independence
  • Anupama Parameswaran, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Sushmita Sen and Malaika Arora have all faced versions of the same narrative
  • Their responses show how female stars are increasingly refusing to accept the assumption that a relationship must have a financial motive

When a successful woman is linked to a wealthier or more powerful man, the question is often not whether she is happy, in love or making an independent choice. Instead, the conversation quickly turns to what she might gain from the relationship.

That is where the word ‘climber’ becomes revealing. It suggests that a woman is using a relationship to move upwards socially, financially or professionally, reducing a personal choice to a calculated transaction. In Indian celebrity culture, the label often appears alongside accusations of being a ‘gold digger’, particularly when a relationship ends.
