Shahid Kapur seems to be on a joy ride these days. He is not the old Shahid anymore who was once just latching.
On to his famous superstar girlfriend Kareena Kapoor for getting a part of her “over-the-top” limelight. He has reinvented himself.
Shahid already had the exceptional chocolate boy appearance to his credit but that was not matched by box office success.
But, lately lady luck has smiled on him with hits like “Jab We Met” and the underdog movie “Kaminey.”
I was just myself and success happened
In the latest interview with Spicezee.com, the actor said that he was happy with his frequently changing appearances.
He has appeared on the show two times previously and every time he was sporting a new look.
When quizzed by the host "Swati" about the same, he politely replied that he has been trying to operate things for him in a distinct way and it should not be looked upon as re-invention, as it is commonly called by media.
He likes frequent experimentation with his looks for his roles. He was asked by the anchor on his reaction to the actors aged more than 40 trying to get flaunt-able six pack abs. He said that he was also pretty impressed with the all the three Khans bringing the concept of six pack abs to Bollywood.
Hair it comes, Hair it goes
In fact, everyone is so impressed with the Kapur lad these days that director Vishal Bhardwaj has remarked that Shahid can be a mega-star if he stops devoting all that extra attention to his countenance and hair.
However, ironically, Vishal was the one who suggested Shahid to grow his long hair for Kaminey. Kaminey will be remembered as one of the landmark movies in Shahid’s career because he looked so different in it.
But, Shahid believes that script is the pivotal determinant of the success of a movie. For him, the different, long haired look of Kaminey was just aimed to stun the audiences and attract them towards the movie halls.
In conclusion, Shahid according to himself, is a director’s man and now, his hair has been cut quite short, as insisted by his directors.
