Shahid Kapoor describes how the overnight stardom post the release of his debut film Ishq Vishk was totally unexpected

Shahid Kapoor debuted with the 2003 film Ishq Vishk
Shahid Kapoor made his Bollywood debut with the college romance film Ishq Vishk 20 years ago. The film was a huge hit, turning the newbie cast members into stars overnight. During our print and podcast series Sit With Hitlist, Shahid revisited the time when he felt his life change in a day. The instant response they got after the first day first show was overwhelming.
"I remember when this film was coming out, we were just a bunch of newcomers and Ken Ghosh had directed it, and we were driving and we went to Town, we were at Sterling - I think that is where the film was playing - and we were waiting outside. It was a morning show, 12 o` clock was the first show that we got and we were waiting outside nervously. We were actually very excited to see ourselves on the big screen. We were more excited about that, rather than becoming a star," he told Mid-day`s Mayank Shekhar.
