The Hindi film actors are no more limiting themselves to the boundaries of only working on their home soil. Actors are now dabbling a career back home and in the West, and are tasting huge success globally. So recently when a leading daily asked Shahid if he would test the foreign waters too, the actor said, "I just want to do good films. I am open to different opportunities. Also, it differs from project to project, and opportunity to opportunity."
Talking about his film choices, the actor further added, "I never make a decision on the basis of what other people say because what other people say and think can never be exactly how I think and feel. So, it is a choice. I believe when you feel about something very strongly, it has the power to change people’s opinions. And that is what cinema is about. I think the best movies are made when people get something they don’t expect."
Talking about the stardom he has achieved, the actor asserted, "Pehle stars ‘stars’ hote the. Now, it’s the other way round now. There was a time when people would request for a photograph, and only those who had cameras would do so. Now people expect a selfie. So, how has it gotten better? It’s become more and more intrusive," says the Udta Punjab actor adding, "On a serious note, it is an actor’s responsibility to push oneself as much as one can — to try and be out there, whenever there is someone who appreciates your work. Also, I don’t like the word 'fan.'"
