Shahid is one busy man these days. After the success of his film Kaminey last year, the actor has his hands full.
Talking of his upcoming film, Paathshala, which he says he did as a favour to a friend. "I actually did Paathshala for Ahmed Khan who is like a brother to me. Life has taught me that whenever you do something with a clean heart and good intentions, it always turns out well. I saw the film and I am really happy with how it has shaped up. It talks about education and its impact on children. It is a must watch," he says.
In fact, the actor has been so busy the last six months, that he claims his manager too has left him to go on vacation. "I want to go on a vacation too and learn to play the guitar. I have pictures of mine as a kid as a rockstar and I want it to come true. If not on stage I want to do a jig for my friends. Even if they don't like it they have to put up with it. After all what are friends for," he laughs.
Despite the controversies surrounding his father, Pankaj Kapoor's film, Mausam, Shahid is more than willing to take on any odd job on the sets to help his dad. "I have been switching roles from being an actor to an assistant director or whatever is required of me," says Shahid who struck gold last year with Kaminey.
