Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor was the first guest on Neha Dhupia's popular talk show 'No Filter Neha Season 6'. Shahid, who is the son of veteran actors Pankaj Kapur and Neliima Azeem shared how he worked on making it big in the industry without his parents which led to him being bullied and treated as an outsider.
Shahid stated, “I didn't have the qualities to be a campy person. I was from Delhi and came to Bombay (Mumbai) and I was not accepted in my class. I was the outsider because my accent was different and I was really badly treated for a long period of time.”

“I came into this industry and realised ye toh school ke tarah hi hai. Outsiders are not accepted easily here. They have a big issue with how did you manage to come in here. So, for many years I dealt with that. I don't like this campy thing. I think people who want to creatively collaborate with each other should, people who are comfortable with each other should. But that doesn't mean you diss other people and try to put other people down or close the doors to other people. And I think that as a teenage or young adult I didn't have the confidence to fight back but now, if you try to bully me, I will bully you right back. I will bully the bully because they deserve it,” he added.
