Failure teaches you: Shahid
21 May 2012 6:25 AM GMT
In his decade-old career, Shahid Kapoor has gone through a lot of personal and professional ups and downs. But despite as many as six back-to-back box office disappointments, he is undeterred because he feels success can do more harm than failure. Â
'Success can be more dangerous than failure. When you are successful, you feel that you are doing everything right. So, failure can teach you a lot. I just believe in going out and doing your best,' Shahid said. Â
He will now be seen with Priyanka, his rumoured former girlfriend, in Kunal Kohli's Teri Meri Kahaani. He is hopeful their chemistry will work for the film, which he says is diametrically different from Kaminey.
'I think the audience really liked me and [Priyanka] in Kaminey. It's always fun working with her. This film is very different from Kaminey,' he said.
At first, Shahid thought Teri Meri Kahaani, which depicts a love story in three different eras, was about reincarnation. But the director put his doubts to rest.
'One day over coffee, Kunal said he had an idea which he really loved, but it was not developed. It was just a one-line story. He told me it would be an entertaining love story with the same two actors in three different time periods,' Shahid said.
'I had reservations about doing a reincarnation film. Kunal assured me that it would be a romantic comedy. I found that interesting. I was not skeptical,' he said.
