GLOBAL MOVIE MAGAZINE|MARCH 2020
Shahid Kapoor, who created a stir at the box office disruptor with Kabir Singh last year, is busy shooting for his upcoming film, Jersey, in Chandigarh, where he’ll be seen playing a cricketer for the first time. As he turns a year older today, he stresses that this year, he wants to connect to his inner self, remain “a student for life” and “stay good and pure”. He plans on celebrating the day working on the sets of the film, surrounded by colleagues and family. Excerpts:
Shahid Kapoor on turning 39: ‘Success and failure come and go but family is priority for me'

How do you plan on celebrating your birthday today?

I’m celebrating my birthday in Chandigarh by shooting. I might get a little time off once my family is here and I’ll be spending some time with them. It’s a working birthday for me as I’m in the middle of the schedule and I didn’t want to take a break.

Is there any professional or personal goal that you want to fulfil as you step into a new year?
