Shahid Kapoor gives the credit for his brilliant dancing talent to his mother, Neelima Azeem, a fine Kathak dancer herself, and says: “She’s actually a genius dancer. I’m not even 1 percent of what she is. So I’m just happy that I got some of her DNA in me. But yeah, I have grown up watching her dance and she is, you know, she’s very special.
Shahid also recalled his first experience watching Michael Jackson in India adding that he “really enjoy live performances.”
“I remember my first live experience was when I was 15 years old and Michael Jackson had come to India. We all went to Andheri Sports Complex (north west Mumbai) and I remember walking home alone. So for me, it’s like living your dream, being in a stadium full of people where you’re the artist and you’re getting to do it. And I actually really enjoy live performances.
“I love the energy of the crowd. I feel it’s a very pure experience. There’s nobody between you and the people.”
