18 till i die...

Shahid Kapur, Actor

My college...
I went to Mithibai College.

Favourite hangout...
I used to hang out a lot in the canteen and eat samosas.

Pocket money...
I started working when I was 16 with Shiamak Davar and was also working as an assistant director. So I took care of my own expenses.

If I were 18 again...
I would be carefree, because I think I haven't really enjoyed my youth too much since I started working very early on. By the time I was 21, I got into films full-fledged and my youth was centred on work. I would love it if I had a full day to myself with absolutely no responsibilities and no pressure.

Most memorable moment...
I had a great time in college. We drove down to Goa once - a bunch of us, in two cars. I had just bought myself a Fiat Palio and I thought it was the best car in the world. I must have been 17 or 18. A bunch of the guys got drunk, lost their way and reached six hours late. But we had a blast!

Lesson learnt...
I think it is very good to enjoy yourself because that's the age when you are growing as a person and discovering new things about yourself. But one should never lose aim in life.

I was very lucky because while in college I had a very clear aim about my career though I couldn't finish my graduation due to work.
