Responding to Bollywood Hungama about if we will get to see Shahid Kapoor and Ananya Panday together onscreen soon, the actor said, “Ananya is a lovely girl. But you should really be asking this question to the directors and filmmakers. Actors don’t get to choose their co-stars as much people believe they do, at least in this generation.”

Speaking about his special tribute at IIFA to Bappi Lahiri, the Jersey actor went on to add, “Bappi Da has a vibe of his own. Anybody who listens to his songs will have a smile on their face. Because the vibe is so relevant, he will be evergreen.” The actor also added that he has met Bappi Lahiri many times but it has mostly been at award functions.
