I honestly feel that it is a huge honour to be compared to somebody as legendary as Shahid Kapoor. I have been Shahid's huge fan over the years, especially with Ishq Vishk. I remember watching him dance to the title track. I have been in awe of how amazing a dancer he has been. Over the years, he has proven himself to be a phenomenal actor too. I take the comparisons in the right spirit because I don’t have the pressure that I am trying to fill his shoes.”
