As years went by, he took things a notch higher and turned into Bollywood's 'King of Versatility'; changing one avatar after another and sweeping awards, honours and accolades for his incredible craft.
Be it Tommy Singh's rage, the angst of Kabir Singh or Sunny's street smart personality - he brought to life some of the most complex characters. Easily, the best that the previous decade has seen. Today, as Shahid Kapoor turns 42 (wait, what?) - we look back at some of the most inspiring thoughts and musings shared by the actor, straight from our interview archives.
We truly hope 2023 turns out to be yet another milestone year in Shahid's career! Well, the year has definitely begun on a sweet note with the success of 'Farzi'. And now, we are super excited for his upcoming action film.

Batti Gul Meter Chalu | Film Review
Electricity theft, lack of basic infrastructure, facilities and growing turmoil among the common citizens is a pertinent issue. Director Shree Narayan Singh, whose last film - Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, discussed poor sanitation and lack of hygienic facilities, is back with yet another tale that presents a hard hitting reality. Singh's latest offering - Batti Gul Meter Chalu, is a relevant film which highlights the issue of electricity frauds and scams, without being too preachy or dull.
Set against the stunning backdrop of Uttarakhand, the film traces the journey of three best friends - Susheel K Pant [Shahid Kapoor], Sundar Tripathi [Divyendu] and Lalita Nautiyal [Shraddha Kapoor]. While Sunder turns entrepreneur with his own factory, Susheel loiters around as a 'corrupt' lawyer, while Lalita aspires to be the ultimate 'Lakmé Fashion Week' designer. The three make merry, and have a gala time, just when a strange twist of fate changes their lives forever. Susheel takes it upon himself to change the course of action, and vows to fight for his best friend against all odds. In a bid to create awareness around electricity frauds and thefts, which becomes one of the prime reasons behind Sundar's ultimate fate, Susheel tackles the issue by discussing similar problems with thousands of locals and organising multiple activities. Ultimately, SK fights the case for his friend in a rather impressive court room drama climax. Will he win the case and bring justice for his friend? For that, you will have to watch the film. And, I strongly suggest you do!
Music of this film deserves a mention, as some of the songs have already created massive buzz before the release, especially Dekhte Dekhte and Gold Tamba (wish the former played a little longer in the film, though). It was an absolute delight to watch Shahid dance on the big screen again, almost after a gap of 2 years. Full marks to Ganesh Acharya for the peppy moves, straight from the 90s, in Gold Tamba. The BG score is decent. Anshuman Mahaley's cinematography captures the real beauty and essence of Uttarakhand; making it one of the strong pillars of BGMC. So much, that one is bound to feel like visiting the beautiful state on their next vacation. Siddharth-Garima and Vipul K Rawal's writing is another strength, with the Kumaoni laced dialogues creating a powerful impact. There are scenes where one just cannot go without whistling or at least, clapping to laud the moment. Of course, a huge part of that credit also goes to the performances, but gotta say - the dialogues were simply incredible. They add an essential charm to the characters and their respective personalities.
Performances, especially by the lead cast, are undoubtedly the strongest pillars of this film. Even the ensemble cast, including Farida Jalal, Supriya Pilgaonkar, Atul Srivastava among others, perform well. However, the film belongs to the lead trio, with Shahid Kapoor clearly dominating the scene. As the meek and humble Sundar, Divyendu Sharma makes a mark. His character becomes the crux of the film's plot, and Sharma does complete justice with an emotionally charged act. Shraddha's Nauti aka Lalita is a quirky and feisty young girl, who believes in justice and provides unconditional support to her partner, throughout the struggle. She performs well in certain emotional scenes, and her chemistry with the duo is really interesting. Yami Gautam makes an important appearance as advocate Gulnaar, and does a fine job.
However, the film [especially the second half] belongs to Susheel Kumar Pant aka Shahid Kapoor. He wonderfully displays myriad emotions - ranging from envy to vengeance, love and misery. If there is anyone who believes that one needs a larger than life character to create an impact, then Kapoor's portrayal of SKP is here to prove you wrong. He adds an extraordinary personality to an otherwise simple [add to that - corrupt], yet flamboyant boy next door. Right from the court room sarcasm to friendly humour and the perfect attitude with which he approaches the authorities at SPTL, Kapoor nails it just right. He shines with an impeccable dialogue delivery (the dialect was on point) and the perfect body language, making it difficult for anyone to believe that he is not a Tehri local for real. Of course, the costumes and his over-zealousness helped add a good flavour to the character. One can't help but marvel at Kapoor's monologue during the climax of this film, which is clearly one of the strongest highlights of BGMC. That scene is bound to walk away with maximum cheers! As an avid cinephile, I could clearly witness glimpses of Senior Kapur sir's impeccable act from 'Ek Ruka Hua Faisla' in Shahid, especially during some of the emotional scenes. Kapoor is the soul of this poignant yet entertaining drama, and his performance is simply effortless!!
As a viewer, the film pushes you to step out of your comfort zone and look at the world with the POV [point of view] of a citizen, who hasn't lived with the privilege of having electricity 24x7. The story instantly reminded me of Elephanta Caves, a little away from India's financial capital Mumbai, where the locals got 24x7 electricity connection for the first time ever in 2018, almost 70 years after Independence. Conditions get even more miserable for individuals in small towns, who are forced to study and work in poor light and sometimes, end up suffering losses or consequences too. Now, while the social message of saving electricity and creating awareness around the lack of basic facilities available for a majority of the population in India is one of the prime aspects of this film, Batti Gul Meter Chalu also wonderfully explores other facets of life - that of friendship and unrequited love. Susheel, Sunder and Lalita's equation is beautiful, and their friendship makes you wanna call up your BFF gang right away. It also showcases the other side of love, which remains a rather one sided affair. All this, without being too over-dramatic, which certainly helps maintain a good flow of the film and makes it an entertaining watch. Singh does a good job of putting together this delightful film. A special mention for the distinctive narration, which was rather interesting!
Overall, Batti Gul Meter Chalu is engaging and highly entertaining. It comes with the perfect blend of humour, drama and some really strong, poignant moments, while highlighting an important issue that needs immediate attention. The performances and dialogues prove to be the biggest strength, with Kapoor's act being the star of this show. I am definitely adding an extra star, just for that monologue!
Verdict: Highly recommended for it's exemplary performances (with Shahid Kapoor leading the pack) dialogues and the stunning landscape of Uttarakhand!

Batti Gul Meter Chalu Trailer | Shree Narayan Singh's Social Drama starring Shahid Kapoor is Hard Hitting and Impressive
The trailer of Shree Narayan Singh's much anticipated social drama - Batti Gul Meter Chalu was finally launched earlier today. Starring Shahid Kapoor, Shraddha Kapoor, Yami Gautam and Divyendu Sharma in the lead; the film is a social drama based in Northern India. The main plot focuses on electricity woes and theft, faced by the common man in the country.
Batti Gul Meter Chalu is based in Uttarakhand, where the locals face power cut and electricity theft almost everyday. The three friends [played by Shahid, Shraddha and Divyendu] make merry and have fun, until things take a crucial turn and change their lives forever. Kapoor is seen playing a lawyer, whose life is all hunky dory [one can also see some shades of corruption in the initial stage of his character], until things go awry in his friend's life, thanks to a huge electricity bill slapped on the latter's face. Unable to make ends meet or find a solution, the friend [Sharma] commits suicide, and that is when Kapoor decides to take matters in his own hands, in order to teach the authorities a lesson. While the film largely focuses on a social issue, it has some light hearted moments and a good dose of entertainment as well.
We felt the trailer is hard hitting, and manages to impress with every frame. It pretty much presents the main crux of the film, and creates curiosity. The characters look fresh. One could see a pattern set by colours in the trailer, ranging from myriad colours to monochrome tones towards the end. We like the cinematography, which brings the scenic locales of Uttarakhand to life. From whatever we saw during the 3 min long trailer, it was evident that Kapoor is all set to impress with yet another brilliant performance. Yet again, the actor is seen sporting a fresh look, with a different personality and new dialect. We see him showcase an impressive range of emotions in a short span, which speaks volumes about his fabulous calibre as an actor. Needless to say, we are sure the actor will deliver a memorable performance, and impress us with his act. Shraddha plays the feisty Lalita, while Yami would be seen as a lawyer in the film. Both make a mark with their respective characters. Divyendu's pivotal character is something to watch out for, and the actor stands out with his act as well!
Helmed by Singh [whose last film - Toilet: Ek Prem Katha was a smash hit of 2017], Batti Gul Meter Chalu promises to create an impact with a strong message, without being too preachy, thanks to some light heartedness in the form of dance numbers and humour. The screenplay and dialogues have been written by Sidharth - Garima, while the film is based on 'Roshni' written by Vipul Rawal [who had earlier written the Akshay Kumar starrer Rustom]. Anu Malik has been roped in to compose the music of this film, making it a comeback of sorts for the 'Shahid - Anu' combo after a long time. The film has been largely shot in Uttarakhand. BGMC also brings the 'Haider' jodi of Shahid and Shraddha together after four years.
— Priya Adivarekar (@priyaadivarekar) August 10, 2018
After a few initial hurdles during the early stage of production, the film got rolling as soon as Bhushan Kumar's T-Series stepped in to support and release the film. With the trailer crossing several thousand views every minute and the title trending on social media, the film has managed to create a good buzz and excitement. Batti Gul Meter Chalu is scheduled to release on September 21, 2018. Well, September looks 'power'ful already!

Shahid Kapoor to groove on Prabhudheva's hit dance track - Urvashi Urvashi
After playing 'Raja Rawal Ratan Singh' in the historical drama Padmaavat earlier this year, Shahid Kapoor is back with a bang. The actor, who is gearing up for the release of his next film Batti Gul Meter Chalu, has been busy burning the dance floor in suburban Mumbai studios for a special project. It is now confirmed that he is all set to feature in a very exciting single, that is being produced Bhushan Kumar of T-Series.
Remember the chartbuster - 'Urvashi Urvashi' featuring Prabhudheva, where the actor was seen showcasing some insane moves? An entire generation grew up listening to and dancing on this popular track. The song from Prabhudheva - Nagma's Tamil film Kadhalan [also released in 1994 as 'Humse hai Muqabala' in Hindi] is all set to be recreated with a twist. And this time, the audience will be treated to some kickass moves by Kapoor. The actor has already stepped into the shoes of dance icon Prabhudheva for the song, and was rigorously rehearsing with choreographer Sanjay Shetty's team since a few weeks. The video was shot by director Gifty in Mumbai this week.
Interestingly, the song has been recreated by popular music producer Yo Yo Honey Singh, and has been sung, written and composed by him. Actress Kiara Advani will feature alongside Kapoor in the track. "We’ve changed the lyrics, but the hook line remains the same. The song does not showcase a love story, but a new-age relationship between Shahid and Kiara. Even the choreography is contemporary. We are shooting on a club set in Film City. Earlier this week, we had also filmed some shots in a parking lot, in order to give the video an underground kind of a feel,” stated Shetty, adding that Shahid is super excited and looks like a complete rockstar.
The actress admits that although she was excited about featuring in the super hit number, she was nervous too. “I know the pressure one goes through when a classic song is recreated. There will be comparisons. This could be my ode to Prabhu sir. Also, we all know Shahid is a great dancer, I was nervous about matching up to his skills, but he was super fun to work with. We were in sync from the word go,” stated Kiara.
Ask Kumar about the recreation, and he quips, “The original number feat Prabhu Deva was an iconic chartbuster composed by AR Rahman. Yo Yo Honey Singh has recreated this version as per the taste of today's young generation. This track will the onscreen magic with Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani, and I am sure the next generation will have a have blast dancing to this song, when it releases.”
Contrary to reports that stated how this track would feature or be a part of Kapoor's upcoming film - Batti Gul Meter Chalu, a source close to the project confirmed that this isn't the case. The 'Urvashi' recreation would be a separate single, and has nothing to do with the film.
Who else is super excited to watch this video already?

Birthday Special | 37 reasons why we love Shahid Kapoor
For Shahid Kapoor fans (or should we say, Shanatics), February 25 is a special day. After all, their favourite star turns a year older today. Here's wishing this amazingly talented actor and a fabulous human being - Shahid Kapoor, a very happy birthday. Well, it is hard to believe that Shahid Kapoor turns 37 today. I mean c'mon, thirty-seven? Are you freakin' kidding me? Either we are stuck in 2005 or Shahid can seriously give any 25-year-old a run for his money. The actor, with his new look for Batti Gul Meter Chalu, just keeps looking better with each passing day (And no, by that, we don't mean he didn't look good yesterday. We love him and will always swear by his suave personality). We got to see very little of him in 2017, with just Rangoon (which released on his birthday last year) hitting the headlines. However, it's amazing how 2018 has started off with a bang for the fabulous actor, as he 'royally' entered the 500 crore club with his flawless portrayal of Maharawal Ratan Singh in Padmaavat. As well wishers, we truly hope this year turns out to be yet another milestone year in Shahid's career! And now, on to the post. Honestly, we don't really need a reason to love him. I mean, just look him. He is such a charmer! Nevertheless, we decided to give you 37 reasons to love the birthday boy - Shahid Kapoor. Here we go!
1. The 'Impossible is Nothing' approach
Shahid is one of the very few actors who has made his way up there on his own merit. We all know that he believed in the 'Impossible is Nothing' mantra and needless to say, has come a long way with several awards in his kitty today.
2. Those dance moves!
Oh yeah! He's got the moves like... err Shahid. The actor is blessed with two fabulous feet that can dance and how. He has got the perfect blend of foot work and expressions, which is very rare. Easily one of the best dancers in Bollywood today.
3. Oh-so-humble!
People who have interacted with Shahid will tell you how humble the actor is! He prefers being modest and allows his work to do all the talking.
4. So Unique!
Be it the way he winks or the manner in which he folds his fingers while walking / posing. Or even the way he brings his index finger close to his lips while thinking (or better - the 'shut up' pose). We have some very cute observations of Shahid that we just can't get enough of!
5. Music is Everything
The actor can't live without a dose of music in his everyday life. So much that a few years back, he had even set up a music mixer at his place and would often post Instagram videos of himself, experimenting with sounds. He even shared playlists and recommendations from Sound Cloud on Twitter.
6. Infectious Energy
Those around him will tell you that Shahid's energy and enthusiasm can be quite infectious. Even his interviews are full of fun. Even on the dance floor, there is no stopping him, as the actor is known to get 'high' on dancing and non-stop music.
7. Vegetarian by Choice
We respect anything and everything that an individual does as a personal choice. For Shahid Kapoor, turning vegetarian was nothing to do with religion or being forced. It was a personal choice and must say, PETA was right in calling him one of the hottest vegetarians alive!
8. My father, My idol
Shahid has always been close to his family and it is always a delight to watch him talk about his father, Pankaj Kapur. The actor looks up to his father as an idol and respects his work. So much, that while working together in the film Shaandaar, Shahid unknowingly ended up giving some really OTT (over the top) shots on the first day, just because his father was around. It took some time for him to get comfortable.
9. Those Eyes!
Ever tried looking in to those dreamy eyes, only to get lost for hours? Well, we haven't either. But those who have, are proof that those magical eyes are everything.

10. Sibling Wala Love
Just like any other elder brother, Shahid is extremely protective about his siblings. He is often seen praising Ishaan and Sanah on Twitter for their respective talents. While the latter made her debut with Shaandaar, the former is all set to make his mark with Karan Johar's production venture - Dhadak. And of course, Shahid has confessed that he has always got their back. Sweet, no?
11. Experiment, always!
Shahid has never shied away from experimenting with his films or characters. If he is Haider Meer, he gets ready to turn into Jamadar Nawab Malik and then, Maharawal Ratan Singh; one film after another. The actor believes that there is no fun in doing anything that has already been done.
12. The Caring husband
Seen those images of Shahid posing with his wife, just after the wedding ceremony? Or even those where the paparazzi snapped the duo outside their house? What's common between the two? The fact that Shahid never lets go off his wife's hand and is extremely caring. Remember this quote? "When I fall head over heels in love with a girl, I will tie her to my side and never let her go." Well, now we know.
13. Mumma's Beloved Son
Shahid is also known to be very close to his mom. The actor, who spent his early years in Delhi and later shifted to Mumbai, gets his dancing genes from Mom Neelima Azim (who is a renowned trained classical dancer).
14. Not the one to walk on tested waters
Shahid likes being in an ambiguous space, where he can figure out how he can fit into a role and give his best. He is one of the very few actors who finds ambiguity (while making a film) very exciting. Well, no wonder he always manages to impress us with his new avatars.
15. That Beard!
Well, we are not big fans of the big beard look. But one look at Shahid in a beard and we had to change our opinion. No one makes a beard look that good!
16. Same look? Nah!
Experiments are not just restricted to roles. We have seen Shahid change multiple looks in the past couple of years. From the clean shaven chocolate boy to going bald, sporting a crew cut and even a man bun, the actor has done it all. Tough to choose a favourite, though.
17. Keeping it Casual
The actor loves to keep it simple and casual. He is one of the few actors who can make sports luxe look great even on the red carpet. The easy going, casual vibe of his outfits have now become a signature style. While off duty, he loves his gym tracks and ganjis.
18. Haider
Doing a film like Haider, stepping into the shoes of Haider Meer, giving the film your all and believing Vishal Bharadwaj's vision. If there is anyone who could do this and come out with flying colours, it was Shahid Kapoor! We can never stop praising his work in this film.
19. Never say Never
There have been instances where the actor got hurt or has shot under extreme conditions, just to ensure that he leaves no stone unturned to make his shot / dance track look good. For instance, the actor ended up with multiple bruises while rehearsing for Gandi Baat, but he didn't allow any hurdle to stop him working dancing like a dream.

20. Mass bhi, Class bhi
Very few actors can get that transition right, but Shahid does it with ease. If he can win hearts as the charming Aditya Kashyap or be the loveable Prem, he can also do the Gandi Baat in R... Rajkumar and make you go Dhating Naach as the fake cop Vishwas Rao in Phata Poster Nikhla Hero.

21. Friends forever
The actor is known to be a private person and loves hanging around with his pals. Apart from a few of his school and college friends, he is also known to be good friends with designer Kunal Rawal and producer Madhu Mantena. It was cute to see him perform at Mantena's sangeet and being a constant support during the wedding festivities a few years back.
With his flawless portrayal of Aditya Kashyap in Jab We Met, Shahid Kapoor made us believe that Mr Darcy (Pride and Prejudice) exists. The actor gave us an Indianised version of the popular character in the form of Aditya (Jab We Met). Less talk, coz Aditya's eyes did all the talking.
23. Oh! He can Cook
The actor has confessed that he loves simple, home cooked meals. He loves his share of ghar ka khana, especially Rajma Chawal. But what's interesting is the fact that Shahid can cook and loves making parathas - be it aloo or cheese. Also, he isn't too fussy about his food. He is as comfortable eating at a roadside stall as he is in a fancy restaurant.

24. Biker Boy
Shahid is known to have a fleet of luxury cars, including a customised Jaguar. But, he also loves his Harley Davidson Fat Boy. The actor is a fan of long drives and likes to zoom around on his bike or car during free time.

25. Stylish foot Forward
While Shahid continues to confess that he is still trying to figure out his personal style, his sartorial choices have always made heads turn. The actor loves his tuxedos and is often seen making a dapper appearance at award shows and events. In fact, he has been awarded with several Style Icon awards as well. Our favourite look on him? The sleek black tuxedo.
26. Not without my Workout
Shahid can give even the laziest man on planet earth some serious inspiration to get up and workout! If that lean, toned body wasn't enough, the actor often posts videos and images that give us major fitness goals. But, there's one thing you must know - like a dedicated fitness lover, Shahid likes to focus on his workout during the session and avoids every other element - including selfies or even posing for pictures. For fans who want a picture or autograph, the actor patiently takes time out post his workout and obliges their requests. Now, if you ever need a fitness idol, Shahid is the one. Hell Yeah!!!
28. Sense of Humour
Anyone who has interacted with Shahid will tell you how he has the ability to make you laugh, while maintaining a straight face. Shahid has a great sense of humour. His one-liners are hard to miss even during an interview. And we really think he is a great mimic (haven't we seen glimpses of his talent at a few award functions already?)
29. Philosophy
While we love his sense of humour, we are also fans of his philosophical thoughts. Although the actor denies being philosophical or giving out motivational gyaan, his thoughts and quotes have often inspired folks on social media (and even us, during interviews). In fact, there is also a Twitter fan account dedicated to his quotes.
30. Focus and Dedication
Shahid likes being focused. His dedication towards his work and himself (be it while working in a film or working out at a gym) is awe inspiring. He is also known to be a perfectionist and believes in giving his best.
32. Love for 'Maamu'
Everybody knows that Shahid shares an extremely special bond with Maamu, his man friday who has been with the actor since the former's kiddie days. He is also known as Shahid's one man army and the actor can't do without him. Shahid's love for his 'maamu' is absolutely adorable!
33. Kaminey
We loved him in Kaminey! It takes some real guts to take up a film, which takes you out of a comfort zone and pushes you to do something completely different, at a time when you have given a blockbuster hit like Vivah - a family drama. But, Shahid accepted this challenge like a pro and the result? An award winning performance. Oh, and no one can run the way he did. Period.
34. Normal life
Despite all the glamour and spotlight that his occupation brings along, Shahid likes leading a normal life. After a long day at work, he loves enjoying his cuppa with loved ones, chit - chatting and watching the world pass by. Some of his Instagram videos, where he is often seen enjoying sunsets while sitting at the deck of his suburban residence, are also proof. Don't we all love doing that too?
37. That dimpled smile is everything!

27. Being Real!
Love drive and rajma chawal loving, music and cinema enthusiast. Someone who can never stop gushing over Scarlett Johansson's smile. The kind of guy who loves exploring new sounds, artists on Sound Cloud and swears by the beaches of Goa. He is so much like us!!

35. Misha's Darling Papa
Shahid's life revolves around his darling daughter - Misha (who is absolutely adorable). The doting dad confessed that his life changed and took a beautiful turn, ever since the little angel was born. He is loving every minute of this role. We love how Shahid took to his social media account and introduced his daughter with an adorable post. Since then, we have been blessed with some oh-so-cute images of the daddy-daughter duo, that makes our heart melt! Keep em' coming, we say.
36. FANtastic
Shahid has always been vocal about his love for all the fans, who keep supporting him no matter what. His 'Shanatic' fandom is huge and has spread across the globe, right from Russia to Germany, Australia to Canada. There are several fan accounts dedicated to the actor and he acknowledges their love and faith in his work by checking their creations, special tweets and even replying to some of the fans.
