What was Shahid addicted to as a child? (Bollywood Snippets)

MUMBAI - The one thing that Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor couldn’t resist as a child was playing video games - he was so addicted that he used to spend all his pocket money on them.

“As a kid growing up in Delhi, Shahid used to spend the maximum time inside video game parlours, playing video games incessantly. All his pocket money was spent on playing video games. He used to play till he would run out of money. There were times when he would sit for hours glued to the game,” said a source.

The 28-year-old, who owns PSP and X Box, feels if he starts playing again, he won’t be able to concentrate on his work.

“If I start gaming again I will not be able to read scripts and concentrate on my work. It’s best if I stay away from this old addiction of mine,” said Shahid who will be seen in a completely different avatar in his forthcoming release “Kaminey”.

After acting, Amrita Rao wants to do editing

What interests actress Amrita Rao besides acting is the art of editing. The actress says she would like to take it up in future.

“I have always been quite fascinated with editing. Later in life, when I feel I have done my share of acting and want to do something else, I might do a course in editing and take it up professionally. But nothing is planned as of now,” the 28-year-old told IANS.

Amrita, who has done films like “Ishq Vishk”, “Masti”, “Main Hoon Na”, “Vivah” and “Welcome To Sajjanpur” among others, was recently seen in a glam doll role in “Short Kut - The Con Is On”.

Controversies don’t affect Adhyayan Suman any more

Whether it was his much-publicised affair and break-up with actress Kangana Ranaut or alleged linkups with co-actresses Shahana Goswami and Anjana Sukhani, budding actor Adhyayan Suman says he has become thick-skinned now and controversies don’t affect him any more.

“If you are a known person, then it is obvious that people want to know about you. Gossips, rumours and controversies are part of a public figure’s life. If you want to survive, you have to become thich-skinned, like I have become,” Adhyayan, the son of TV star Shekhar Suman, told IANS.

“During the early days of ‘Raaz…’ when I had just entered the industry, talks about my relationship used to really affect me. But now I have understood everything and they don’t bother me any more. You have to live with it,” said the 21-year-old.
