Shahid Kapur needs extra bodyguards to keep girls away! Everything comes with a price and Bollywood is no different! With two blockbusters ‘Jab We Met’ and ‘Kaminey’ under his belt, dimpled actor Shahid Kapur is the current flavour of Bollywood.
The cute looking actor whose next-door-boy looks can make girls go weak in knees is having a hard time in tackling his female fans as a result, Shahid wants extra bodyguards for all his shoots.
Recently, while Shahid was shooting with Anushka Sharma for Parmeet Sethi’s untitled flick under YRF banner in Bangkok, a bunch of Indian girls left the shy actor red faced by demanding him to remove his shirt!
Talking to a news daily, a source said, "Shahid has a huge female fan following and is constantly mobbed at various places.
At times it becomes too risky for him. Not wanting to cause any further problems, the actor has now asked for extra security."
"Usually, Shahid also has fans waiting outside his vanity van and they refuse to move till he meets them.
This at times hampers the shoot schedule, disturbing not only Shahid but also the film unit. Now, Shahid wants a group of 5-6 bodyguards to be with him on the sets and also whenever he is shooting at an outdoor location where there is a greater risk of fans barging in on the sets," continued the source.
However, when contacted YRF, the media conglomerate downplayed the demand for extra security and said, "We haven`t got extra guards for the shoot. YRF does have adequate security for all its shoots at all times. Should an artiste ask for additional security, it will most certainly be provided. However, no additional security has been asked for during this shooting schedule."
