Bollywood star Shahid Kapoor's father, Pankaj Kapur, recently gave his thoughts on the actor's success and said, “I feel very proud to see Shahid where he’s at right now, the kind of thinking he has come up with in the last 20 years in his career, and the maturity he has shown in terms of his choice of films. He started a certain way but look at the kind of cinema he’s doing today! I’m proud to say this without any bias that he’s the finest actor that we’ve in this country in his age group.”In a chat with News 18, Pankaj Kapur expressed immense pride and joy over Shahid Kapoor’s film career.

He enjoys surprise them with moments of young exuberance, which frequently catch them off guard since, like many others, they have a preconceived notion of him.Kapur revealed that when he periodically displays flashes of his younger, more playful side, his children are often taken aback, gasping in surprise. “Sometimes, when I do a little bit of youthful masti with them to give them a glimpse of what I might have been as a younger boy, they go like, ‘Dad, you!!!’ But that surely adds a few more years to my life,” he said.On the work front, Pankaj Kapur is preparing for the release of his new film Binny Aur Family, which is set to hit theaters on September 20. The film also features Anjini Dhawan, Varun Dhawan’s niece, alongside Kapur, increasing the excitement for its premiere.Also Read : Pankaj Kapur speaks on balancing craft and survival: “Did some projects to stay afloat”
