He maybe shy and with few friends, but Shahid Kapoor is favourite among his gang of buddies. Although his life has been packed with hectic schedules after he became an actor, Shahid counts on them and has always consciously made efforts to maintain his relationships.

In fact, his closest pals are those he has grown up with. They are not from the industry.

A while back, Shahid had visited Hyderabad to attend his friend (Sri’s) wedding. He was in the midst of shooting, however he worked extra hours, finished his portions and flew to Hyderabad for two days. Having grown up together, the emotional bond he shares with his friends is very strong. Shahid loves spending time with them whenever he gets a chance.

Recently the actor suffered a health bout. He was unwell for more than a week and was on medication. When his friend, Sri got to hear about it, he flew down from Hyderabad to meet Shahid. The duo spent time together and had a catch up session. After recovering slightly, Shahid took him for a spin in his new car and also made him hear the mixes he has been working on.

Currently Shahid is busy with Vishal Bhardwaj’s ‘Haider’ with Shraddha Kapoor and Tabu.
