I
Started
Asking
Him
Questions
"Then
I
started
watching
his
films
more
seriously.
I
started
asking
him
questions
like
how
he
prepared
for
a
certain
role,
what
inspired
him
or
how
he
enacted
a
particular
role.''
Shahid's
Been
A
Big
Influence
In
My
Life
"Eventually,
I
was
able
to
assist
in
a
film
(Udta
Punjab),
in
which
he
was
also
performing.
I
had
my
own
set
of
responsibilities
as
well.
It
was
interesting
as
I
was
both
objective
and
subjective.
Shahid's
been
a
big
influence
in
my
life."
We
Can
Exchange
Perspectives
"Ours
is
a
rare
equation.
He
loves
to
play
the
big
brother
card.
But
at
the
same
time,
he
likes
to
talk
to
me
like
a
friend
and
share
his
experiences.
Interestingly,
I'm
in
a
similar
position
to
where
he
was
when
he
was
my
age.
We
both
began
at
the
same
time.
We've
had
similar
trajectories.
So
we
can
exchange
perspectives."
On
A
Related
Note
When
Shahid
Kapoor
was
asked
about
his
brother,
he
told
a
daily,
"I
started
working
when
I
was
21,
so
I
came
into
my
own
early
in
life.
I've
been
independent
from
the
start.
Ishaan
is
14
years
younger
than
me.
You
cannot
feel
like
a
sibling
when
there's
such
a
huge
age
gap.''
I
Have
Always
Felt
Protective
About
Ishaan
"That's
why,
I've
always
felt
protective
about
Ishaan.
He
might
hate
me
for
saying
this
but
it's
the
truth.
So,
it
was
an
emotional
moment
for
my
mother
and
me
to
see
him
on
the
big
screen.
He
is
immensely
talented
and
passionate
about
his
work."
