Shahid Kapoor bagged the Best Actor (Critics) award for his performance in last release Udta Punjab and said, "I'm thankful for everything but I’m hungry for more."

Shahid credited to filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj, “Vishal sir saw something in me, which nobody else did. He gave me an opportunity to rediscover myself. I wouldn’t have done Udta Punjab, had I not done Kaminey (2009). As I saw that side to myself, I realized that it can work for me," quipped Shahid.

Working with SLB, director of Padmavati, "He drives you to do your best. I thrive for that because you are pushed beyond whatever you are used to. I love working with him,” he said.

Shahid expressed the experience working with Deepika and Kangana, “Both these girls have great potential. It’s great to be working with actors who are at the peak of their careers. It’s a good time to be working with actors that challenge you. I feel good about myself. I feel I’m in a good space as an actor," the actor said.

Shahid when asked to sum up 2016, he said, “I’ll sum up 2016 by saying, ‘Misha." And what he expect from 2017? “I’ve got to get up every day and do better. These years are extremely crucial for finding the trajectory of my life. Now that I have become a family man, I have all the more reason to do this not just for myself, but for them as well. And there’s nothing more inspiring than that feeling,” he stated.
