The groovy, groovy Shahid Kapur!

rediff Get Ahead caught up with the 23-year-old actor to get a peek into his lifestyle. Here's what we got:

Shahid's favourite restaurants

I am a vegetarian.

I like eating at Sampan, Holiday Inn [in Juhu, northwest Mumbai] and the J W Marriott Coffee Shop [also in Juhu] and raste ka khana [roadside food].

I love Dahi Batata Puri and Pani Puri, but I avoid having them during the monsoon.

Shahid on fitness

I work out five times a week, for about an hour and a half.

I try to be regular with my fitness routine. I go to Barbarian [a physical fitness training centre at Lokhandwala in northwest Mumbai] and have a personal trainer there.

I try not to eat fatty foods too often. I have a high protein diet which is low in carbohydrates and fat.
