Shahid Kapoor is a thorough professional and will not let anything come between him and his work. Not even lousy stories that are circulated in print.

The actor, however, wishes to clarify his stand on a story printed in a tabloid recently. It said that how Vidya (Balan) and Shahid had gone out for lunch and did not return for over three hours bringing the shooting of Ken Ghosh's new untitled film produced by UTV to a standstill.

But a close friend of Shahid's clarified saying, "Vidya, his co star from Kismat Konnection and a very dear friend, had dropped in to say Hi after which they proceeded to catch a quick lunch during the lunch time which lasted for 45 mins. As a professional Shahid would never hold up work for hours on end just to have lunch with a friend. This story is completely untrue".

Recently there was also another report that Shahid interferes in the shooting of the film and likes calling the shoots for the same.

Ken Ghosh clarifies this baseless story. Says Ken, "Shahid is a thorough professional. This is a very stupid story. Shahid has never interfered in my work and in any of my films shooting, and to suggest it's as good as insulting my capability as a director. I and Shahid are good buddies; we bounce of ideas of each other. It is not interference. Shahid is intelligent, thinking and a professional actor."
