These days Bollywood cutie Shahid Kapoor is living the good life, with his career on a high after a number of hit films.  With the success of his career it's no surprise that Shahid has received numerous awards for his work and now he's receiving perhaps the most prestigious award in his career thus far - the Rajiv Gandhi award.  The award is given to a person who shows prominence in his or her chosen field.  Plus the award show will take place in the second week of August, just in time for the release of Shahid's highly anticipated film, 'Kaminey' costarring Priyanka Chopra.  No doubt this will be a welcome source of positive press for the film.

Shahid was quoted as saying this about receiving the award - "I was pleasantly surprised to get the news about my being chosen for the prestigious Rajiv Gandhi award.  I'm only 28 years old and it's really early in my career.  I feel humbled and honored to be chosen by the jury."

Previous recipients of the award include Sunita Williams, Sachin Tendulkar, Mukesh Ambani and Amitabh Bachchan, so it looks like Shahid has some legendary company!
