Shahid Kapoor
The actor was said to be a SRK copycat for a while. All his romance films never made it big though. Since he started doing diverse roles with Badmaash Company, Udta Punjab is when he made it big.
“I was with Shiamak Dawar’s Dance Troupe for 3-4 years. I was also a background dancer in several Bollywood movies. But I always wanted to become an actor on my own, so I started doing acting workshops. I went to audition for Ken Ghosh’s film Ishq Vishq, where I got rejected because of my thin frame. As luck would have it, his film also got stuck. In that one year, I worked hard on my body so when the film finally took off, Ken offered the role to me.”
