The sports drama ‘Jersey,’ starring Shahid Kapoor and Mrunal Thakur, has been finally released today. The cast was papped at a special screening of the film held last night in Mumbai, ahead of its release. Shahid and Mrunal both looked stunning at the screening and were seen acting silly while posing for the paparazzi.
Many videos and pictures from the star-studded screening have gone viral, and one clip in particular has received a lot of attention and criticism.
According to several netizens, Shahid Kapoor was somewhat disrespectful to Mrunal in this video.
In the video shared on a paparazzo’s Instagram account, Mrunal Thakur can be seen posing for the paps, when Shahid appears from behind and joins her in pictures.
In the middle of this, Shahid left the red carpet without making any gesture or bidding bye to his co-star as he straight away gets into the car. Eagle-eyed users also noticed that the actress was about to hold his hand while exiting but Shahid was fast and didn’t see it.
This video has left people not really happy with Shahid’s behaviour. As soon as the video surfaced online, netizens lashed out at the Kabir Singh actor in the comments section.
One of the users commented, “No respect for co actor ..shahid kapoor does.” Another troll wrote, “Badtameez he deserve tbi Kareena ne isko chhoda.”
Some speculated that his wife, Mira Rajput, had made a “gaffe.”
Talking about Jersey, it also stars Pankaj Kapur in a pivotal role. Directed by Gowtham Tinnanuri, the film is the tale of a talented but failed cricketer, who decides to make his comeback on the field in his late 30s just to fulfill his son’s wish for a jersey as a gift.
