Actor Shahid Kapoor and wife Mira Kapoor’s movie date night didn’t go well, according to recent reports.

The couple were out for a movie date night at the Taapsee Pannnu starrer Thappad, but left the movie mid-way.

“Shahid stormed out of the theatre, dragging his wife Mira behind him,” said an eyewitness, “He was angrily muttering that this was not what he signed up for.”

The recently released Thappad is a story about how a woman reevaluates her marriage after her husband slaps her in front of a group of people. Shahid Tweeted out a statement after reports of him angrily walking out of the theatre with wife were released.

“I have nothing against the filmmakers or the actors, it’s just that I thought it was going to be a romantic comedy that I can watch romantically with my romantic wife,” said Shahid.

Shahid goes on to explain how he thought he had made it clear with his last movie that being in love means you can slap your partner around. “It felt like months of work just went down the drain,” he wrote.

He felt dismayed that even after making the film in two languages, the director’s message of abuse being the purest expression of love was lost on some ‘numbnuts’.

“When I saw the name of the movie and the shot of a woman being slapped, I thought to myself ‘We have finally arrived’. This was a romantic movie I can get behind,” he wrote.

Turns out he assumed wrong and his romantic movie date night was a let-down.

“I just hope that in future filmmakers can take a lesson from this,” he wrote, “Don’t mislead your audience like this.”
