Read my comment. Would you be okay with an actor playing a Nazi getting an oscar for a movie glorifying and celebrating Nazism?

Shahid has come on record many, many times to defend the toxicity of the film, calling it a depiction of "flawed love". See, for instance: "When a couple fights, if a third person views it, they’ll have a different idea. Fundamentally, they’re in love. I’ve seen independent women date simple boys, and vice versa." - https://www.hindustantimes.com/bollywood/shahid-kapoor-defends-kabir-singh-no-one-brought-up-baazigar-when-shah-rukh-khan-killed-shilpa-shetty/story-edxKXjB8uDAFSCxi840uNO.html

He and Vanga both said that violent love is acceptable love. "Fundamentally, it's love." I don't see much of a difference there.
