I hope to work for 20 more years: Shahid Kapoor

Ever since his debut in 2003, Shahid Kapoor has given memorable characters and even performed in hip-swaying songs. The Bollywood star says he is ‘very passionate’ about what he does and hopes to give it his best professionally for the next two decades. From Mauja Hi Mauja, Mat Maari, Tu Mere Agal Bagal Hai, Saree Ke Fall Sa, Dhating Naach, Aaja Ve Mahi and Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, Shahid has given unforgettable hook steps to many songs in his films. “I am very passionate about what I do. And the more time I spend doing it, my passion grows. I want to give it my best each time,” he shared. The actor, whose latest release is Deva, expressed gratitude for having got a chance to work with some great people in the industry, who have helped him etch memorable characters and songs in the mind of audiences. “As you spend more years as an actor, it helps you realise and recognise how fortunate you have been when you look back at your body of work and you feel like, man, I got some great opportunities to work with some great people, you know, and I’m fortunate to have been in that position.” The 43-year-old star expressed his desire to work for many more years to come. “I have got the love of audiences for 21 years now and hope to work for another 20. You want to grow, you want to evolve,” he said.
