When “Kabir Singh” hit the screens last year, it started a whole new debate as many thought that its lead actor Shahid Kapoor played a misogynistic hero. His co-star Anurag Arora says it’s not necessary that a film should always be a message-oriented one.
Anurag had essayed the role of Harpal Sikka, father of the film’s female protagonist Preeti, essayed by Kiara Advani in “Kabir Singh“.
Asked about the negative response by a section of the audience, Anurag told IANS: “A film should be seen like a film. Why to take it like it should be an inspirational thing every time? This is a story of a person, and in real life, there are people like him. I have seen people like Kabir Singh in real life. It is not always necessary that a film should be message-oriented.”

“People took it too seriously. Why so serious about it? If you look at ‘Raman Raghav 2.0’, Nawazuddin Siddiqui played a serial killer in it. That doesn’t mean that you become a serial killer. There are so many things happening in our society, so people will be making films on them. You cannot always judge them saying that ‘this is giving a bad message or so’,” he added.
Anurag is currently seen as an army officer in the TV show “Ek Duje Ke Vaaste 2”.
