Shahid Kapoor revealed, “Half the time, I used to be like ‘What am I doing? What is happening? What is going on? I was a big-city kid. I wasn’t getting half the things that were happening. I was like jal (water)? What is this? And then we were doing songs which were sung in an older man’s voice. I was wondering how I will do this?”
But he made the decision to do as Sooraj Barjatya instructed since he had a great deal of respect for the director. He said, “I just followed it. I said, ‘You tell me what to do and I’ll do it.’ He would tell me ‘Trust me Shahid, just do this’ and I did. I did it with all my honesty."
When ‘Vivah’ was released in 2006, Shahid Kapoor remembered that "a lot of cinema that was doing well was that front-footed college, young, Dharma and Yash Raj." Additionally, the movie represented a total reversal of the era's cinematic norm. The actor claimed that Sooraj made a "very conservative film" that catered to a small group of people and avoided them for the longest time because he understood that was his comfort zone.
