Five reasons why Shahid Kapur is now OFFICIALLY a superstar... by Sonali Raha

Shahid Kapur has come of age, with "Kaminey" pleasing everyone – stuffy critics as well as demanding fans. We tell you why Shasha is finally a superstar!

-- Shahid is constantly under the media spotlight, with every smile, every raise of an eyebrow and every word being dissected and analysed. We at Masala! confess: we’re getting a tad obsessed ourselves with this cuter-than-a-teddy hero.
-- His list of ex-es is getting long and interesting. Every GF, from Bebo to Sania and Prinks, has been a hottie and an achiever in her own right. (We’re sort of forgetting Vidya right now!) Only superstars have A-list link-ups, right?
-- Big production houses are willing to back him all the way. UTV’s "Kaminey" trailers focussed more on Shahid than even Priyanka, the heroine of the moment. And now Yash Raj Films is all set to explode on the screen with the Shahid-Rani "Dil Bole Hadippa".
--Adi Chopra has cast Shasha in Rani’s comeback film – that’s the biggest testimonial you can get!
-- Shahid can act, actually get into the skin of a character. We knew it right from "Jab We Met", although Bebo ran away with all the awards. His twin role in "Kaminey" now makes this official.
-- And finally... Shasha has taken his shirt off! Seen running with the horses and pumping iron in "Kaminey", his new bod can give even "Ghajini" Aamir and "OSO" Shah Rukh a mega complex.
