Shahid
Kapoor
is
in
acute
pain.
Some
days
back,
he
sprained
his
neck
severely.
Rather
than
taking
a
complete
rest,
as
suggested
by
the
doctors,
he
performed
impromptu
at
the
IPL
finals
in
Mumbai
on
Sunday.
And
the
fact
that
he
danced
his
way
through
the
acute
pain
made
his
condition
worse.
Interestingly,
he
was
a
last-minute
addition
among
the
other
performers
namely
A.R.
Rahman
and
Bipasha
Basu.
Shahid
wasn"t
really
supposed
to
be
performing
at
the
IPL
finals.
Says
the
actor,
“My
Dad
and
I
were
supposed
to
head
to
Europe
for
a
short
shooting
stint
of
his
film
(Mausam).
Then
that
volcano
eruption
happened
in
Iceland.
So
all
flights
got
cancelled.
In
any
case,
we
were
only
supposed
to
shoot
for
a
few
days
and
I
was
supposed
to
come
back
to
Mumbai.
So
we
decided
to
cancel
the
stint
in
Europe."
It
was
then
that
Shahid
decided
he
would
dance
at
the
IPL
after
all.
“I
contacted
the
organizers
the
Moranis.
And
they
let
me
perform.
I
had
never
performed
in
a
stadium
before.
I
loved
the
experience.
I
interacted
with
the
live
cricket
crowd,
went
into
the
crowds
sang
with
them.
Great
fun!"
Usually
Shahid
prepares
for
at
least
a
week
for
any
of
his
live
performances.
“But
for
the
IPL
finals
I
was
ready
in
a
day.
It
was
a
great
platform.
Dancing
to
a
live
cricket
crowd
and
that
too
a
crowd
cheering
for
the
Mumbai
team,
was
an
experience
I
wouldn"t
have
liked
to
miss.
So
yes,
I
guess
the
cancellation
of
our
shooting
in
Europe
isn"t
something
I
regret."
Shahid
also
doesn"t
regret
dancing
when
he
already
had
a
sprained
neck.
It
aggravated
his
condition
manifold.
Trying
to
play
down
the
pain
Shahid
says,
“I
guess
there"s
a
downside
to
being
spontaneous.
I
was
in
a
bad
condition."
Shahid
was
on
painkiller
injections.
“But
I
don"t
mind
my
condition
being
worsened.
I
am
just
glad
I
performed
in
front
of
that
live
excited
audience.
People
accuse
me
of
not
being
spontaneous
enough.
So
there
I
was
actually
doing
something
without
much
thought
or
rehearsals.
And
I
loved
it!"
