Before lockdown in 2020, Shahid Kapoor had shot for Gowtam Tinnanuri film, Jersey in Chandigarh but the schedule was put on hold with the outbreak of a pandemic. The shooting for Jersey had resumed post lockdown was lifted but even during the stay-at-home orders by the government, Shahid had used the time productively by brushing up his skills. Shahid had even suffered an injury on the lower lip. Informing his fans about the same, Shahid had tweeted, "Thank you for all the concern. Yes, I have got a few stitches but am recovering fast. Jersey has taken a little bit of my blood but a script this good deserves that in the least. Have a good one you all. Keep it real. Make it count. Spread the love. Humanity above all."

When Shahid Kapoor had returned home, post the completion of his Jersey shoot, Mira Rajput Kapoor had given a glimpse of how something else was loved more than her by her ‘crush’. Mira had posted a coloured picture and the monochrome version of the same with the captions, “Crush is home but still long distance” and “Clearly that sweatshirt is loved more than me.” A few days ago, Shahid had requested the filmmakers to cast him in a film where he gets to be a ‘typecast hero’. Revealing the reason behind it, Shahid had written on his IG story, "My wife has fired me about how I am not doing a film which is fun and where I dance. Open invitation pl gimme something that allows me to please her... #typecast hero in need!! @mira.kapoor I am committed to the cause."
Shahid Kapoor’s film, Kabir Singh had received mixed reviews from the audience, as some criticised it to be violent and for how it portrays women, while for others the movie seemed to have hit the right cord. And his wife, Mira Rajput Kapoor, needless to say, belonged to the latter category as she had expressed via an Instagram post how proud she is of Shahid. Sharing a picture of Shahid from the film, Mira had written, “Aa zamane aazmaale rooth ta nahi, Faaslon se hausla ye toot'ta nahi. So proud of you baby. It’s your time to shine.” (Also Read: Akshay Kumar Reveals Twinkle Khanna Still Makes His Heart Flutter Even After 20 Years Of Marriage)
