Shahid wrote, "To all those who gave so much overwhelming love to such a complex, conflicted character. Thank you.
#kabirsingh was never just a film to me.. it was an emotional arc that was raw.. bare.. unabashed .. honest .. fearless .. REAL!!
In a time where people are quick to judge (others not themselves ) you understood him. You understood our interpretation of the angst of a broken heart. This one will always be special. So so special. And it would just not have been possible without @kiaraaliaadvani , @sandeepreddy.vanga , @muradkhetani and @ashwinvarde @bhushankumar @santha_dop , Payal and so so many others. Thank you all once again. And remember. Keep it real and make it count. Be kind. Be good. Spread positivity. And always believe." [sic]

Kiara Advani opens up about the criticism received by 'Kabir Singh' 

Kiara Advani was recently interviewed by a film critic wherein she was asked if she would approach things in a different way if Kabir Singh was offered to her now as she has more power to choose between her scripts, Advani replied by saying that both Shahid Kapoor and herself were well aware of the film and everything that would come their way along with it as the film is a remake of the Telugu movie Arjun Reddy.

She also said that no character she has played till now has been like her and added that Kabir Singh was by far the toughest amongst them all as everyone who knows her, knows her thinking.

The actor concluded her statement saying on some level, there were times when healthy debates were raised around the film, but she also feels that somewhere the audience gets really hard on certain films, and she does not know if it was fair to be that hard on Kabir Singh.
