Happy Birthday, Shahid
Shahid Kapoor turns 27 today. We take a look at his eventful journey in Bollywood.
Veteran actor Pankaj Kapoor is his father and actress/dancer Neelima Azim is his mother. The two divorced when Shahid was three. Shahid also has a half brother, Ishaan Khattar from his mother’s marriage to Rajesh Khattar. Shahid lives with his mother.
Baby faced Shahid wowed our hearts in the Aankhon Mein Tera Hi Chehra video in the late 90s. He was also the boy who drapes the saree on Aishwarya Rai’s head in the song Kahi Aag lage lagjaave from Taal. He also shared screen space with SRK, Rani and Kajol in a Pepsi ad post Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.
Finally, he made his big screen debut in 2003 in Ken Ghosh’s rom-com Ishq Vishk alongside fellow newbies Shenaz Treasurywalla and Amrita Rao. The film was a sizeable hit and the songs became a rage. Shahid became a teenage sensation because of his cute charm and dancing skills. He won a Filmfare Best Debut Award that year.
After Ishq Vishk, Shahid was seen in Fida, a thriller alongside Kareena Kapoor, his real life girlfriend and Fardeen Khan. The film didn’t do well but Shahid’s performance was appreciated.
A few more unsuccessful films like Dil Maange More, Deewane Huye Pagal, Vaah Life ho toh Aisi, 36 China Town, Shikhar and Chup Chup Ke till Shahid made a breakthrough in 2006 with Rajshri Films’ Vivah! In the film he co-starred with Amrita Rao and had to fill in the shoes of Prem, a character previously played by Salman Khan. The film was a hit and Shahid’s performance was highly appreciated.
A lackluster Fool ‘n’ Final later, Jab We Met was a big commercial success. Though it was Kareena’s film through and through, Shahid’s mature and subtle performance complemented her vivacious turn perfectly. Their chemistry was natural and sizzling.
They had done three films together before this: Fida, 36 China Town and Chup Chup Ke. All of them flopped. Sadly, the two of them broke up after dating for four years when Jab We Met released.
After Jab We Met, Shahid co-starred in Aziz Mirza’s Kismat Konnection which was an average hit with super hit songs like Ba Khuda and Aai Paapi.
Since his break up with Bebo, Shahid has been linked to Sania Mirza, Vidya Balan and most recently Priyanka Chopra, his Kaminey co-star. But he has remained tightlipped on all of this.
He has recently been signed on as brand ambassador for Pioneer music systems and V.I.P. luggage.
Shahid will be seen in Ahmed Khan’s Paathshala, Vishal Bhardwaj’s Kaminey and Anurag Singh’s next film for Yashraj with Rani Mukerji. We wish this talented and good-looking actor a very Happy Birthday and many joyful and successful years to come.
