Shahid Kapoor today held an impromptu ‘Question and Answer’ session with his followers on Twitter. His ‘Ask Me Anything’ session saw a bevy of questions fielded by the actor as he picked his film Kabir Singh over Jab We Met and got the internet divided, spoke about his upcoming film Jersey and expressed desire to work with Samantha Akkineni. His QnA session also got cheeky and hilarious as the actor was asked whether it was difficult to handle his kids or his wife Mira Rajput.

During the interaction, Shahid opened up about his much-awaited film Jersey which will be hitting the screens on December 31 this year. When asked about his ‘favourite cricketer?’ the actor revealed it’s Sachin Tendulkar who has his heart all time and also spoke about sharing screen space with Mrunal Thakur in the film. He called Jersey his ‘best filmmaking experience yet’. His QnA session made him one of the top trends on Twitter.

However, Shahid picking up Kabir Singh over Jab We Met had the internet divided as many said that this is what is wrong with society as he chose a ‘toxic character’ over a much sorted and sweet character. However, many reasoned that Jab We Met was more of a Kareena Kapoor Khan’s film whereas Shahid led from the front in Kabir Singh, also it was his highest grossing film.

Talking about the importance of Jersey, he replied to another fan, “It’s my best filmmaking experience yet. Can't wait to share it with you all.”

When asked about his ‘favourite cricketer?’ the actor revealed it’s Sachin Tendulkar who has his heart all time.

Further, a user tweeted to him, “did you enjoy working with mrunal in jersey??” “Yes she is lovely. We had a great time. She is extremely talented. And loads of fun” he revealed.

One fan cheekily asked Shahid, “Baccho ko sambhalna jyada mushkil hai ya biwi ko (What is tougher - handling the kids or the wife)?” To this, Shahid said, “Lagta hai apki shaadi nahi hui ab tak (It looks like you haven't been married yet).”

Another wanted Shahid to describe actor Nani in one word. Nani played the lead role in the Telugu film Jersey, which Shahid is essaying in the Hindi version. He said, “I think Nani did an amazing job in Jersey. He made me cry. So I would say he inspired me to do this film.”

Shahid lavished praise on Hrithik Roshan and Samantha Akkineni when asked to respond about them.

Shahid’s Jersey has been directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, on whom Shahid heaped praise and called him his ‘favourite so far’

Jersey revolves around a talented but failed cricketer who decides to return to cricket in his mid-30s, with the hope of representing the Indian cricket team so that he could fulfill his son’s wish for a jersey as a gift.
