The butt end of love

A depressed Shahid Kapur has taken up smoking, since his break-up with Kareenaa

One could call it pyar ke side-effects: Shahid Kapur who is quite a fitness freak has not only got insomnia but has also taken big time to smoking.

"He has almost become a chain smoker, a lot of unit members scolded him and even advised him to cut down on his smoking. I guess his break-up has affected him badly," adds a unit member.

It maybe recalled here that media reports about Shahid-Kareena appeared just after the actor left for a month-and-half long outdoor schedule for his film. A source close to Shahid says, "The best way to get rid of a guy is by announcing a break-up when he's not around. That way, a guy is not left with any chance of asking for an explanation from his girl. A lot of people do it."

A heart-broken Shahid Kapoor has found a friend in co-actor Vidya Balan. The two of them became friends during the outdoor schedule of their film Kismet Connection.

The actor almost went into a depression after rumours about his split with Kareena Kapoor hit headlines. "He found it difficult to concentrate on his work but Vidya Balan helped him come out of his depression to a large extent. When they were not shooting, she would spend time with him," said a unit member.

"Vidya Balan would try and drag him for shopping also, although Shahid preferred to be on his own. Even unit members took good care of him," adds the source.
