Bollywood actor, Shahid Kapoor has been one of the finest stars in Bollywood. His dance movies in Nagada Nagada, Mauja Hi Mauja, Bismil, Gandi Baat, Teri Baaton Mein and many more cannot be forgotten. The actor has often worked with top female stars like Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone, Kiara Advani, and Kareena Kapoor Khan, to name a few. However, he shared that his female co-stars used to call him a 'despo'.
During a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, Shahid remembered his female co-stars advising him to tone down his dance steps. This was when he stepped into the Bollywood industry; the female stars wanted him to match their steps so that he and the heroine looked like a pair. In Shahid's words:
"Kabhi kabhi mujhe meri co-actresses bolti thi ‘itna kyu dance kar raha hai. thoda kam kar yaar’. You’re looking so desperate. In my head I’m like, ‘I am a better dancer. But they would say, ‘Just match me, please. We need to look like a pair."
Going ahead in the interview, the Devara actor was asked one of his co-actress with whom he would like to have a dance-off. He said that there are many girls who are fantastic dancers. A lot of them he worked with already. Shahid said Priyanka was a very good dancer, Deepika was a very good dancer. He added:
"I enjoyed dancing with Pooja in this film (Deva). Kiara is a good dancer, but we have not danced together. Even Amrita was a good dancer when I worked with her. They are all good. I have never done a song with Katrina but she is a fantastic dancer."
During a fan segment with Pinkvilla, Shahid revealed that dance had transformed his entire life. He shared that as a kid, he lacked confidence, and dance was something that gave him a lot of happiness. He had a shy personality in school, and he learnt how to dance because it was something that he was so passionate about and wanted to do. The Kabir Singh star remembered:
"Even at a party, I would always be standing on the side like really wanting to dance but I didn't have the confidence, 'Karna hai but bhut saare log hain. That's usually what happens, a lot of people feel like that. I was one of those people.”
An avid dancer, Shahid, after learning the style of dancing, used to dance in his class. He then moved to dancing on a stage with a lot of students around. From there, he moved on to dancing in movies, and today, he is one of the greatest dancers. He also shared that performing in front of people was something he always loved doing. He credits dancing for making him a star, from a shy kid to an actor and performer who was ready to display himself in front of everyone.
