In the first meeting, Shahid Kapur was his usual shy self but Vidya Balan did something sweet to cheer him up.
The kisse of possible konnection between Shahid and Vidya are aplenty. But how did this purported love story…oops…friendship began? Here’s how it happened.
Shahid and Vidya had not known each other personally until they began shooting for director Aziz Mirza’s film Kismat Konnection in Toronto. On the first day of the shoot, there was obvious awkwardness between the two actors.
Reports detailing the account of their first meeting say Shahid, being the shy guy he is, sat in a corner and Vidya sat apart. Ironically, they had to shoot a romantic scene. So it was Vidya who took courage and decided to break the ice with Shahid.
And what she did left Shahid smiling his dimpled grin ear-to-ear.
Vidya walked over to Shahid and said: “Can I have your autograph please!!”
She said this in the beseeching tone of a fan. Hearing this, Shahid blushed with embarrassment (something that compliments do to humble celebrities) and smiled.
And with that cute, disarming smile, mood was set for the romantic scene (onscreen) between Shahid and Vidya.
