Smooth ‘n’ rich as dark chocolate, bold ‘n’ brilliant like fine red wine… Shahid Kapoor’s performances are always outof-the-box, layered and truly amazing.

From a stupendous act in Kaminey to an incredible stint in Haider; from the high voltage OTT Tommy Singh in Udta Punjab, to bringing in a quiet dignity, courage and regal tone to his character as Maharawal Ratan Singh in the magnum opus Padmavati, he has proved that he is indeed Bollywood’s best and in a league of his own.

Perhaps it’s in his genes or maybe it’s his passion for his art but Shahid Kapoor has been quietly weaving his magic in the film industry and coming out with some mind-blowing performances.

But if you think he believes in tomtomming this to the world and sundry, think again! Understated even to the extent of being restrained, Shahid doesn’t let his PR machinery go on an overdrive to announce his exploits, instead he lets his films talk volumes about his talent.Read on as Shahid Kapoor candidly talks about his magnum opus Padmavati, controversies and rumours, life as an actor and of course, his cute as a button daughter Misha.
