ABP quoted Shahid's family member as saying, "log kuchh bhi kaise likh sakte hain? Aakhir is khabar ka aadhar kya hai? Is tarah ki afwaahein phailaane ko kis tarah se jaayaz tthehraya ja sakta hai?" (How can people write just anything? This news is based on what? Spreading rumors like these is not acceptable)."


On the work front, Shahid was last seen in Batti Gul Meter Chalu opposite Shraddha Kapoor and is now gearing up for the Arjun Reddy remake titled Kabir Singh. The actor keeps treating his fans with pictures from the set of the film.


The film is being helmed by Sandeep Vanga, who also directed the original 2017 Telugu blockbuster.
