During the promotion of his film Jersey, Shahid Kapoor hosted a fun segment in which they answered fan questions and comments. One social media user wrote, "Can't believe this is the same guy who used to do 'Jabba Jabba' once."

Responding to the comment, Shahid Kapoor shared, "In case you didn’t know, that ‘Jabba Jabba’ voice was not me. I also reacted the same way as the audience did because when I saw the film and at that time, I was a newcomer, so, you don’t get a lot of importance. He did it without telling me."

Shahid further added, "Priyadarshan had directed the film and he used to do dubbing and all in Chennai. He took someone from there and made them do ‘Dabba Dabba’. So, when I was looking at the film, I was like ‘Who’s voice is that?’ Everyone was like ‘Oh, he’s so funny!’ But yeah ‘it’s not me!'"
