Shahid Kapoor met and interacted with doctors as preparation for his role in the forthcoming movie ‘Kabir Singh’.

The actor said interacting with experts gave him a deeper understanding of the craft.

In the film, Kapoor will be seen playing the role of a surgeon. As part of his preparation, Kapoor spent hours at hospitals so that he could observe their procedures in order to get the nuances right.

“Kabir Singh is an accomplished surgeon — perhaps the best in his field. So the mannerisms and actions needed to be precise,” Kapoor said in a statement.
