Actor Shahid Kapoor reminisced  his childhood memory at the "Kala Ghoda" festival in Mumbai on Saturday.He also inspired the audience present there with his pep talk.

He said, “Many years back I must have been fifteen or sixteen years old. Then, I did not know what to do in life. I was not a very good student. I used to dance well. I had a passion for art forms. Even though my parents were actors they used to wonder what is going to happen in my future.

Shiamak Davar is my first guru. So I remember, I had danced in one of his program. There were some 2000 people where I got best dancer award. I remember that was the most special moment for me because I was just 15 years old.”

The Haider actor added, “There were many people there who were better looking , richer, more established,more famous,more confident than me. Still, I got that recognition among all those people. That was when I got the feeling that I can do something in life.”
