Shahid Kapoor says he seeks inspiration from his father Pankaj Kapur, and thinks he can never match up to the veteran. "My father inspires me a lot. When I was working with him in Mausam (2011), I got one of the most important lessons of my life ­— that was to follow the director's point of view," said Kapoor.

The actor further added, "When he appreciates me for anything, I feel he has to step a level down as he is extremely brilliant. I can never match up to him." On the personal front, Kapoor and wife Mira welcomed their son Zain earlier this month. They already have a two-year-old daughter Misha.
