Shahid Kapoor Birthday: When Deva actor reacted to Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan’s Pathaan post-credit scene; ‘I was laughing while…’

44 years ago today, on February 25, 2025, we celebrate Shahid Kapoor’s birthday! Let’s take a trip down memory lane to an intriguing moment when the actor spoke candidly about Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan’s post-credit scene in the 2023 film Pathaan. He confessed that he chuckled upon watching it, finding it genuinely ‘cool.’

In a previous chat with News18 Showsha, Shahid Kapoor was questioned about the post-credits scene in Pathaan where SRK and Salman had a conversation about who might take over from them. When discussing this within the context of the film industry, Shahid noted that they can’t be replaced. He commented, “Who did Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan replace? Isn’t it disrespectful to suggest they took someone else’s place?

Shahid expressed the opinion that just as the prominent figures in the past found self-discovery, today’s actors must do the same. He commended the performances of his contemporaries. Moreover, he reminisced about a time when actors often appeared in several films, and the audience would overlook their other failures if one project was successful. However, according to Shahid, this is no longer the case.

Shahid Kapoor pointed out that the current generation encounters more challenges compared to earlier times. He elaborated that unlike now, when there’s an abundance of digital content through social media and various platforms, such resources were absent in the past.

In addition, Shahid expressed his belief that it is the films and their characters that ultimately elevate an actor to superstardom. However, he noted that even superstars experience failures (flops) from time to time. Ultimately, he emphasized that it’s the quality of the content that truly matters in the end.

Regarding the scene featuring Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan in Pathaan, Shahid Kapoor shared that he found it quite amusing. “I couldn’t help but laugh while watching it,” he stated. “I thought it was bold of them to include it, and I can understand why they did,” he added. Ultimately, he expressed his admiration for their performances, saying they were fantastic.

In terms of professional endeavors, Shahid Kapoor recently appeared in the action-thriller “Deva”. Currently, he’s busy filming a new project directed by Vishal Bhardwaj. Shahid Kapoor will be working alongside actress Triptii Dimri in this upcoming movie.
