Shahid Kapoor reveals being scared and intimidated by Randeep Hooda in his earlier days

Shahid Kapoor recently opened up about his admiration for actor Randeep Hooda during a social media live session, where he revealed an interesting anecdote from their National School of Drama (NSD) days. Shahid shared that Randeep, during their acting workshops conducted by the legendary Naseeruddin Shah, initially intimidated him.

In the Live session Shahid mentioned, during their workshops with Naseer Sir at NSD, Randeep Hooda was senior at the workshops and his intensity was quite intimidating.

During the session, Shahid said,

"Randeep Hooda is also there. How can I forget? He’s my buddy from his NSD days when I also visited. I’m very excited. This is my first time working with Randeep. We’ve never worked together. _Hum logo ne actually bohot saari acting workshops Naseer uncle ke saath saath main ki thi. Voh mera bohot senior tha aur main bohot darta tha usse._("We actually did a lot of acting workshops together with Naseer uncle. He was very senior to me, and I used to be very scared of him.")
