“When I first started out, I think I was blind to the challenges… I was very thick-skinned, fortunately. I had a lot of dreams and I believed in them—because no one else did, except for mom and Ishaan. Mom always backed me—she’s the wind beneath our wings.
So, when my parents separated, it was a tough journey for her. Being the elder son, I wanted to support her as soon as I could. So I started dancing with Shiamak Davar at 15, soon became a professional dancer and started earning money. In a way, I didn’t really live my teenage years because I was working, but I loved what I did!”
From working as a dancer in ads and films, to then debuting as the boy-next-door in Ishq Vishq at the age of 23, Shahid Kapoor has had quite a remarkable journey.

He’s established himself as one of the most bankable actors in the industry today.
