Shahid Kapoor on how dance changed his life

During the fan segment in Pinkvilla’s masterclass, Shahid Kapoor shared how dance has been a transformative force in his life. He revealed that as a shy and underconfident child, he had a strong desire to learn dance. Shahid expressed, “I think dance was something that gave me a lot of happiness. I was very shy, I was not confident. And then I learned how to dance because it's something that I was so passionate about that I wanted to do it. Even at a party, I would always be standing on the side like really wanting to dance but I didn't have the confidence, 'Karna hai but bhut saare log hain (I want to, but there are so many people).' That's usually what happens, a lot of people feel like that. I was one of those people.”
