Shahid on his father
I have always looked up to my father [actor Pankaj Kapur].
He has always lived by his own rules and stuck to his beliefs. I hope to do the same.
Success should not be measured by how much money you make or by how many films you do.
I think it [success] is monitored by your perception of success and how much of it you have achieved.
It is a personal choice.
I think my father is successful man today because he is a happy family man. He is settled financially. He is comfortable with who he is.
My dad has never forced his opinion on me. He has always let me do what I think is right.
He is a storehouse of experience and knowledge about films. I try and spend time with him so as to learn as much as I can.
I don’t think I can be as diverse an actor as he is. He is one of the best actors the country has.
