My father inspires me a lot, says Shahid Kapoor
Shahid opened up about his father when he appeared on Zee TV show `India`s Best Dramebaaz` to promote his forthcoming film `Batti Gul Meter Chalu`, which will be releasing on September 21.
Mumbai: Actor Shahid Kapoor says he seeks inspiration from his father Pankaj Kapur, and thinks he can never match up to the veteran actor's level.
"My father inspires me a lot. When I was working with him for 'Mausam', I got one of the most important lessons of my life and that was to follow the director's point of view," Shahid said in a statement.
"Dad is a man of few words and when he appreciates me for anything, I feel he has to step a level down as he is extremely brilliant and a great human being. I can never match up to his level," he added.
