Tell him he is soon being dubbed a Casanova after being linked with a string of girls — from Vidya Balan to Sania Mirza to Amrita Rao — and suddenly the grin is gone.
“I don’t like this. Can I go back to my normal life please? I hate having to think twice before going to a friend’s place to chill out or party…I have to think about what to wear and who will be there and all that. I don’t like it,”
Shahid admits he has to be more media savvy than he was earlier. Tell him he was a boring interviewee then and he agrees wholeheartedly. “Yes, I was a boring person.
I was foolish enough to think that my work would speak for itself. But I realise that I need to be visible. Then again, I don’t want to be a hero built solely on media hype. Shah Rukh Khan perhaps is one of the few who can justify the kind of hype before OSO.”
Prod him again about his ‘gang of girlfriends’ and he says, “I really have nothing to say right now!” The grin is back, “However much you poke me, I can not tell you anything,” So he did have a dinner date with Sania Mirza?’ “Yes, I did,” he says and this time the grin grows into a full fledged smile.
