His charming good looks, dimpled smile and carefree demeanour make Shahid Kapoor one of the coolest actors of our generation. As he turns thirty five today (25 February), we tell you why he’s still shaandaar. Take a look: 

Dancer shaandaar: 

Nobody from this lot can beat the Kapoor boy on the dance front. He not only owns the screen with his flexibility and nimble-footed steps, but also wins our hearts with his expressions and killer looks. Why wouldn’t his female fans cry hoarse every time he’s on the big screen? 

Actor shaandaar: 

While he started off as a boy-next-door, he’s graduated to a serious actor with Kaminey and Haidar. Even though his full potential hasn’t been explored yet, we are sure that 2016 will change that as well. We can’t wait for him to come up with hard-hitting, performance-based movies. You? 

Husband shaandaar: 

His cutesy SDA (Social Display of Affection) with wifey Mira has set relationship goals for sure. With rumours of the two expanding their family, we are sure that he would take active part in bringing up the baby. Woohoo. 

Connecting with fans shaandaar: 

He’s quite active on social media, what with him interacting with his fans on a regular basis. He also posts selfies and pictures with his wife, from the sets and other things that make him happy…to connect with his fans. It’s always endearing to see the glam brigade finding joys in all the little things that we love so much.  Makes them real, eh? 

Here’s wishing him a fabulous birthday and a great year ahead. If the Baby Kapoor news is true, best wishes to him and Mira!
