We all know that Shahid Kapoor was busy shooting in Toronto for Kismat Konnection, and even though the actor is known for being a professional, he also showed why he still looks like a boy and retains those mischievous dimples (ok, they’re not proper dimples, but close enough).

Shahid learned how to rollerblade while in Canada, although he wasn’t that good with it to begin with. The biggest problem for him was stopping and even though he’s learned how to do a few tricks, he couldn’t work out how to hit the brakes without smashing his face into the ground. Ah, if only they had called me to help him ;-) but someone on the set was appointed to help him out when he couldn’t stop.

This story sounds a bit dodgy…I mean, it’s rollerblading, not brain surgery and I don’t think that Bollywood sets have become that frivolous that a person is hired just to make sure Shahid can stop. But the good news is that Shahid kept going until he worked it out on his own.

Shahid also got the entire crew involved in a little prank he wanted to play on Vidya Balan, after he discovered that she’s a bit frightened of ghosts and monsters and bought a freaky mask to get her. Um, I have to take off points for unoriginality (hey, I’m trying to be objective here) but I guess that joke never gets old.

So Shahid went to Vidya’s room with the entire crew in tow, who wanted to see Vidya’s reaction. He knocked and it wasn’t Vidya that opened the door but her mother. Now don’t ask what was her mother doing there, but her reaction was priceless…instead of screaming, a stage hand reports,

“Vidya’s mom didn’t know it was Shahid who was behind the mask. She thought he was an intruder so she held on to him tightly and called for security. Of course when the security guys came, everyone cracked up because the entire unit was in on the plan as Shahid had taken everyone into confidence.”

Wow, that’s a brave woman, I must say.

So that’s all for this week. Have a brilliant weekend, and see you next week, with a prettier theme, I hope.
