For Shahid Kapur , a box office hit is not the only measure of success in Bollywood.
Shahid last release was alongside his girlfriend Kareena Kapoor 36 China Town a romantic comedy, which has been a success at the box office.
Shahid told a popular magazine in an interview that he tries to stay motivated by the work itself -- and not by a film's success -- because a blockbuster hit is never a guarantee.
''I feel it is a trap _ if you start getting your satisfaction from the success of the film that's where the trap begins,'' said Shahid. ''I work to get satisfaction from my work regardless of whether a film does well or not.''
Shahid said the uncertainty of the movie business made him see the futility of trying to gauge whether the film would be a hit based on its script. ''Nothing is foolproof. Least of all in this industry. So the best way to go about it is hard work.''
Shahid said even that was a gamble since ''after putting in all this hard work, you are still not sure if the film would do well or not.''
In his next release Chup Chup Ke Shahid plays a town hustler who fakes his own death to get insurance money.
