Hi friends,
Shahid bana Serious
Today Shahid Kapoor is a hit both as a box office proposition and as an actor. Critics love him and so do his audiences. He was thought to be a little puny but his massive body build up for the role in Kaminey has even laid to rest that problem.
But Shahid says that all this hasn't come without effort. "It was not so easy believe me. After Ishk Vishq I was at home for many days before I got Fida. So staying at home doesn't matter to me a lot," says Shahid.
He says he has persisted with his plan of making it despite the setbacks. "I have never asked for anyone's help and my career isn't like other star kids. It was a difficult path but I guess after struggling and giving flops initially now I've established myself."
Shahid's father is the famous actor Pankaj Kapoor, who had him with his first wife. Shahid was always close to his grandparents, but he says he misses the presence of his father initially. "We lived in different cities and he would make it a point to come and visit as often as possible," says Shahid. "when you are living with a single parent it is a little more difficult and I was the eldest son of a single mother and so I had to grow up faster. We have always lived a middle class life and it hasn't been easy."
Shahid has two step brothers and a stepsister and says he is very close to them. "Yes, we meet and they all are very sweet. I don't know whether they also want to become actors, after all this line is very addictive and they are really talented kids," says Shahid.
He adds, "I am happy with the way my career is going. From struggle to fame, it was all good. I believe if you are a good human being and a hard worker you will achieve your goal."
