Shahid told Hindustan Times, "I'm celebrating my birthday in Chandigarh by shooting. I might get a little time off once my family is here and I'll be spending some time with them. It's a working birthday for me as I'm in the middle of the schedule and I didn't want to take a break."

He continued, "Being grounded is very important. Success and failure come and go but family is priority for me. To sustain a career that's long, you need to stick to the basics and you need to stay connected with yourself as a human being. I feel very fortunate that I've two kids and my wife by my side.
