Well when I first saw the album of shahids, I fell in love with that kiddo, though i was kid only. After years i came to know that he is shahid kapoor and was always interested to know facts about him. I am still in love with him. I won’t consider myself to be a Fan of his, Rather I will say that he is a guy whom i like a lot and also love, he is in a profession which is acting, and i respect it because he does his work with complete dedication. I can bet upon fact that he is a very good guy, with a clean heart, which has sweet kid inside it. He doesn’t like to share about his life or even if he is hurt emotionally or physically he won’t express that to anyone easily and will not even let anyone know with his facial expression. He is indeed a self made person with lots of ethics and values within. He doesn’t show off. hmmmm wat else, i wish him with great success in the following years with huge hits and loads of awards, money and respect in all the phases of life
with a palm full of holy water, with the dew drops on the grass, with ma pure heart, with the brightest sunshine, with a path full of flowers, with the sweetness of honey, with the fragnance of roses and lily, with all the blesses of God, with all my good luck Charm i wish u all the best in ur life.
Life is too short to hate someone and if life is a flower then love is its honey and smile and keep smiling coz that is the 2nd best thing we could do with lips!
he he he he :)
