He lamented the fact that he wasn't wearing his helmet and called it a 'stupid decision'. Shahid was so taken aback by how much his lip was injured that he feared he might never look the same again.

This happened when the actor was practising cricket with a season ball in between takes as he wanted to get better at the sport. 

"The ball busted my lower lip and we actually had to stop shooting for two months because of that. I had to get some 25 stitches. It actually took three months for my lip to feel normal, it still doesn't feel normal. There's a part on my lip that I feel like is dead. I can't move it. So I've given my blood to this film," he added.
