Deepika, Alia Are Fantastic Actors, Says Shahid Kapoor

Mumbai: Actor Shahid Kapoor says actresses Deepika Padukone and Alia Bhatt are absolutely outstanding in their achievements as well as their performances.

"There are so many actresses over the years who've been absolutely outstanding in their achievements, in their performances. Maybe Nargisji, Madhubala, Madhuri Dixit, Kajol -- or among the contemporaries, people like Deepika, Alia. There have been so many fantastic actors over the years, and one learns from seeing their performances. And one enjoys working with the contemporary lot," Shahid said in a statement.

Shahid will be getting onto the stage to perform -- for the first time after he became a father -- at the Lux Golden Rose Awards, scheduled to be held at Reliance Studios, Film City here on Saturday.

The first edition of the awards recognises beauty, style and elegance of iconic Bollywood actors. It will be hosted by Shah Rukh Khan, Arjun Kapoor and Karan Johar.

Shahid says he is excited about the concept.

"The idea is to show how the leading man of Hindi cinema has evolved and how his way of wooing women and romancing women has changed over the years... I think it is going to be something very new and different, that I haven't done before," he added.

On the work front, Shahid will soon be seen in Vishal Bhardwaj's Rangoon and Sanjay Leela Bhansali's upcoming magnum opus Padmavati

Pathetic. What's the point of leaving out Kangana here?

It's up to him to pick who he wants anyone can tell he doesn't like Kangu.

Shahid has been a fan of DP's since a long long time...always saying how beautiful and good at acting she is on KWK and IVs. He's v fond of Alia also.

If he doesn't like Kangy's acting it's fine. His opinion what's pathetic??

Because it's obviously conspicuous when you leave out the name of your upcoming costar when you name your most recent & future costar? Especially when she's the most critically acclaimed of them all. He may not have to like her or respect her personally but this just comes across as petty.

Just like how Ranveer and Ranbir forgets National award winner Priyanka Chopra and rates her lower than their present and ex girlfriends.

As if anyone takes those rankings seriously. Obviously, if you are in a relationship, you will put your GF above everyone else in a list that doesn't impact anything in the universe
