Well, it's Friday and time for another Shahid Kapoor post.

I didn't know that composers take suggestions from actors on what songs to include in a movie but when Pritam composed a song for Kismat Konnection, Shahid supposedly ix-nayed the song and asked Pritam to compose some other tracks that ended up in the movie. The song that Pritam had originally composed was called 'Agg Lage Aaj Kal De Fashion Nu' and even though it's not in KK, you can see it in another movie.

A source reports,

"All this while Pritam hadn't forgotten 'Fashion'. He was attached to the song and knew its worth. This was the time when Bhushan Kumar too was looking for a song to be included in Haal-e-Dil. Though he was aware that Anand Raaj Anand, Vishal Bhardwaj and Raghav Sachar had done a good job with their respective songs in the Kumar Mangat film, he was still in lookout of that sure shot chartbuster song which could propel album sales overnight."

"Since Pritam has made many a hit numbers for T-Series in the past, Bhushan didn't hesitate in approaching the composer"

"He asked Pritam if he could create a dance number in a jiffy and the young composer was more than happy to hand him over 'Fashion'. Bhushan took an immediate liking to the song and soon Nakuul, Amita and Adhyayan were summoned on the sets to shoot for the dance number. Rest, as they say, is history."

And now the song is supposedly doing well on the charts. If you haven't heard it yet, download it from here. It's not bad but I don't think that it's a decision that Shahid has to regret.

And in other Shahid news, he recently gave an interview talking about the rumours between him and Vidya Balan.

Amrita Panja: What is Kismet Konnection all about?

Shahid Kapur: Basically it's a romantic comedy, It's a fun film and a young film.

Amrita Panja: There have been so many speculation about you and Vidya being in a relationship, whereas you both have always come out and said that you're just good friends, so how do you handle it all?

Shahid Kapur: I try not to think about it honestly, because I don't want anything to stop me from living a normal life.

Amrita Panja: You are considered to be the most eligible bachelor in the industry, how do you handle that tag?

Shahid Kapur: I don't know what to say, I feel a bit odd when such things are said. But I guess it's a good feeling, so thank you for that tag, though It keeps passing from one person to another every six months. So I guess I'm happy while it lasts.

Amrita Panja: Since this is a romantic film, how would you describe your dream girl?

Shahid Kapur: I think I must have been 10-years-old when I stopped thinking on those lines, the concept is mostly in books than in reality. I'd just like to meet somebody who is normal, who I can get along with, who can be herself, honest, loyal, straightforward and who loves me for who I am.

Don't we all Shahid, don't we all?

And now I'm off to have a very crappy and boring weekend, hope yours is better than mine. 'Til Monday, see ya!
