Shahid Kapoor plays three different characters in TERI MERI KAHAANI and the film spans three decades. The first part is in 1910 which is the pre-independence era and Shahid plays a Muslim character called Javed who falls in love with a Punjabi girl Aradhana, played by Priyanka Chopra.
Shahid says unlike his other characters in the film, Javed's character was the worst and the most badly behaved, flirtatious one. And this was the most exciting character in his entire career in Bollywood.
The film also portrays the 60's during which Shahid portrays the character of a musician in Mumbai which was Bombay then. "The period was interesting and exciting. People were very cool right from the fashion point of view or from the music point of view.
Govind is a normal guy who is a struggling musician and comes to Bombay. He meets Rukhsar (Priyanka) who is a big star by then. They meet for the first time and fall in love. Govind lives in a chawl and is in love with this big star. This concept was interesting."
Shahid goes on to add, ''The third portion is about a campus romance between me and Priyanka in 2012. It's about relationships between a boy and girl of today. Where you get out of one relationship and suddenly meet someone. You are not sure you like him or not.
Things are very unclear. Yet you have to behave normally which is what I really like in modern era.''
