A throwback video featuring Anushka Sharma and Shahid Kapoor has once again become a hot topic on social media, leaving fans wondering whether the actors were genuinely upset with each other or simply acting for publicity. The clip is from the promotions of their 2010 film Badmaash Company and has resurfaced years after its original release.
In an interview, Shahid Kapoor was speaking with co-star Vir Das when Anushka Sharma reportedly interrupted their conversation. Shahid appeared annoyed and asked her to stop “jumping in between”, adding that it was her “old habit”.
Anushka quickly responded instead of ignoring the remark and the conversation soon turned into a tense verbal exchange. At one point, she told Shahid, “Shut up”, making the situation uncomfortable for everyone present. Reports at the time claimed that the cast and crew were surprised by the argument, while the atmosphere on the promotional set became awkward. Shahid Kapoor was also reportedly unhappy with how the interaction had unfolded.
The interview clip later went viral on social media and attracted widespread attention. As more people watched the video over the years, many started questioning whether the confrontation was actually real. Some believed the heated exchange had been scripted or staged as a prank to create buzz around Badmaash Company before its release. However, no official confirmation was ever given, leaving the true nature of the incident open to speculation.
Released in 2010, Badmaash Company starred Shahid Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Vir Das, Meiyang Chang, Anupam Kher and Kiran Juneja in important roles. The film follows four middle-class friends from Mumbai who start an import business in the 1990s. They initially find success by using unconventional business methods to beat the system but personal challenges and the pressures of success eventually test their friendships and change the course of their lives.
