The charming-turned-classy actor of Bollywood Shahid Kapoor who has lately been presenting some marvelous performances on screen is gearing up for his 37th birthday. However, instead of throwing a big bash, the actor has decided to celebrate the day in a spiritual way by attending a satsang at Beas, along with wife Mira Rajput, his daughter Misha, and his in-laws as well.
Born on 25th February, Shahid comes from a family of ace actors. His father Pankaj Kapur, mother Neelima Azeem, as well as stepmother Supriya Pathak; all are renowned maestros of acting. However, he has made himself worthy of the fame quite on his own without much support from his father’s image.
Starting his career as a dancer at the Shamiak Davar dance academy, Shahid also featured in some popular Pepsi commercials and album songs before making it big in Bollywood. Although the actor was initially known to be quite sleek, he worked hard and bulked up his body to get the quintessential look of a Bollywood hero.
Shahid’s debut film Ishq Vishq was a great hit and he also bagged the award for best debut (male). Initially, in his career, he gave many hits with actress Amrita Rao after which he made headlines because of his love affair with actress Kareena Kapoor.
Although the actor was linked up with actresses like Priyanka and Vidya, he never had any other serious relationship until he decided to get married in 2015 to Meera Rajput.
Lately, Shahid Kapoor has given various critically acclaimed performances in films like Udta Punjab and Haider. He was recently seen in the movie Padmaavat and is currently shooting for the film Batti Gul Meter Chaalu opposite Shraddha Kapoor.
Considering his career graph, Kapoor has come a long way not just as an actor but as a person as well. The sleek, innocent guy from the 90s has now turned into a responsible, family man whose love for his wife and daughter is quite evident. Moreover, the choice of his films has also got better with time and he has become a favorite of ace filmmakers like Vishal Bharadwaj.
