Career
Later, Shahid Kapoor admits to reporters that for some time he could not decide what he wanted to do: cameraman, directorial or acting work. However, as is often the case, Shahid Kapoor’s acting career began with an unplanned incident. Shahid’s friend invited him to a casting to shoot a commercial. The bright and talented Kapoor attracted the attention of the film crew, and two days later the young man was invited to shoot a Pepsi commercial.
Shah Rukh Khan , Rani Mukherjee and Kajol became Kapoor’s partners on the set . This video helped Shahid finally decide on his choice of profession. Shahid Kapoor, who previously taught at the dance academy, went to acting classes. The first years in the acting field did not bring Shahid big roles: the aspiring actor was invited to appear in commercials and music videos. The young man wasted no time and tried his hand as an assistant director, wanting to get to know the kitchen of the filming process as deeply as possible.
The filmography of Shahid Kapoor gradually began to replenish: in 2004 the thriller “A Game of Love” with the participation of the actor was released, as well as the melodrama “The Heart Asks for More”. A year later, Kapoor was first nominated for the Best Actor Award for his role in the film No Accidental Dating. 2006 marked the role that is still considered the best in the career of an actor: Kapoor played in the movie “The Engagement”. At the same time, Shahid went on a tour for the first time with other popular Bollywood actors.
Now Shahid Kapoor can already boast more than twenty roles in films. The drama “The Four Seasons”, released in 2011, was highly praised by critics and fans alike. In this film, Shahid Kapoor co-starred with Sonam Kapoor and Anupam Kher. In 2014, Kapoor starred in the drama Hyder, based on Shakespeare’s immortal Hamlet. The lead role in this film earned the actor a Filmfare Award for Best Actor. And in 2015, fans of the star saw a talented idol in the film “Sleepless”.
Personal life
Shahid Kapoor’s personal life was no less successful than his career. True, the actor’s first novel did not become the main one in life. The first choice of Shahid was the beautiful actress Kareena Kapoor , whom the actor met on the set. The relationship lasted only three years, and the couple broke up in 2007. Neither Shahid nor Karina began to comment on the reasons for this gap.
A few years later, in 2015, the actor married a girl named Mira Rajput. Despite the difference in age (Mira is 13 years younger than her husband), the marriage seems to be happy.
In 2016, the wife of Shahid Kapoor gave the actor a daughter, Misha. Misha was born prematurely, forcing young parents to be quite worried, however, fortunately, today the health of Shahid Kapoor’s daughter is not in danger. Interestingly, the girl’s name is made up of the first syllables of the parents’ names. Happy father Shahid Kapoor often posts photos with his child on Instagram .
