Shahid Kapoor on award winning spree

Mumbai, Jan 19 (IANS) It hasn't even been a month to the New Year, and Bollywood star Shahid Kapoor has already swept three awards for his performances in 2009.

While he was named the most popular male actor at the STAR Screen awards, Shahid also won the heartthrob of the nation award at the fifth Apsara Film and Television Producers Guild Awards.

The 28-year-old also walked away with the Editor's choice best actor award at the Stardust awards for his portrayal of Guddu and Charlie - the ruffian with the endearing lisp and the simpleton who stammers respectively - in Vishal Bharadwaj's "Kaminey".

Last year saw Shahid's transformation from a chocolate hero to an intense actor.

Though his latest release "Chance Pe Dance" hasn't been able to pull in a lot of audiences, Shahid is looking forward to good times this year. He will be seen in Parmeet Sethi's untitled movie for Yash Raj Films apart from his father, veteran actor Pankaj Kapoor's "Masoom".

Mumbai, Jan 14 (IANS) Shahid Kapoor says actors should be like "supermarkets", offering whatever the audience wants from them in terms of variety.

"I really believe this and I hope one day I can really become this. I think an actor should be like a supermarket. I think he should be able to provide the consumers whatever they want. Also it's very important to tell the audience that I'm not here to do only one kind of film. I am here to do all kinds of films," Shahid told IANS.

After his double role in hit film "Kaminey", the actor will be seen in a completely different avatar in forthcoming film "Chance Pe Dance", in which he pairs opposite Genelia DSouza. The movie is releasing Jan 15.
