Met doctors for role prep: Shahid
Actor Shahid Kapoor met and interacted with doctors for preparation for his role in the forthcoming film Kabir Singh.
The actor said interacting with experts gave him a deeper understanding of the craft.
In the film, he will be seen playing the role of a surgeon. As part of his preparation, he spent hours at hospitals so that he could observe their procedures in order to get the nuances right.
The film narrates the love story of Kabir and Preeti and how they overcome all the hurdles and find their happily ever after.
Kabir Singh is slated to release on June 21.
‘There is nothing more fulfilling than being a mother. But it does come with challenges — one of them being the extra weight that one carries well past the baby’s arrival. Yes, that has been my struggle too and something that most mothers will relate to. My motherhood inspired me to do this. And to all the mothers, you can do this as well.’

Tessa begged Nanjiani for MIB
Actress Tessa Thompson says she literally begged The Big Sick star Kumail Nanjiani to take up Men in Black: International.
Nanjiani has voiced the character of diminutive alien named Pawny in the Sony Pictures' project.
“Pawny is deliciously funny and sweet,” Thompson said.
“And I personally begged Kumail to take the part, even though I didn't know him that well. I knew he would be perfect. The character is CG (Computer Generated) but Kumail flew out to join us on set to read the scenes with us, which added so much to the characters' dynamics," she added.
