Actor Shahid Kapoor's rise to stardom reads like a Bollywood script: from a background dancer to a superstar, with several hurdles in between. 2016 was fabulous with the success of Udta Punjab and now, 2017 started on a good note with Rangoon.
Shahid is 36 today and we take you through a pictorial journey of his life. -
Shahid, who was a part of choreographer Shiamak Davar's dance troupe, performed as a background dancer in the song Kahin Aag Lage Lag Jawe from Taal (1999), which starred actress Aishwarya Rai and in songs from 1997's Dil To Pagal Hai featuring actress Karisma Kapoor.

In the same year, Shahid was directed by Ken Ghosh in Fida, where he co-starred with Kareena Kapoor and Fardeen Khan. The film failed to do well at the box office but Shahid's performance was praised. He then appeared in Dil Maange More opposite Soha Ali Khan, Tulip Joshi, and Ayesha Takia.

In 2007, Shahid appeared in Ahmed Khan's Fool ‘N' Final which didn't fare well at the box office.
In the same year, he delivered an acclaimed performance opposite Kareena Kapoor in Imtiaz Ali's romantic comedy Jab We Met.
But by the time the film was declared the biggest hit of the year, Shahid and Kareena had called it quits. However, Shahid was nominated for Best Actor at most of the award shows including Filmfare and IIFA. -
In 2014, Shahid Kapoor delivered a career-best performance in Vishal Bhardwaj's Haider, which was an adaption of William Shakespeare's tragedy Hamlet, with Shraddha Kapoor, Irrfan Khan, and Tabu. The film was hailed by critics and audience alike and brought Shahid back to the track of Bollywood's greatest hitmakers. In 2015, the actor bagged all the awards for his portrayal of the revenge seeking son.

This year, a day before his birthday Shahid Kapoor's Rangoon hit the screens. Rangoon is Shahid's third collaboration with Vishal Bhardwaj and so far things look great for the film.
This year, his second film will be Sanjay Leela Bhansali-directed Padmavati - releasing in November.
