Shahid Kapoor: CHANCE PE DANCE isn't my autobiography

2009 started with a faux pas of sorts when Akshay Kumar's much hyped CHANDNI CHOWK TO CHINA hardly turned out to be autobiographical; something that the film's marketing and promotion team wanted audiences to believe.

Though there were shades of Akshay Kumar's life (which was just specific to his journey from 'Chandni Chowk' to Bangkok), there wasn't anything else in the Nikhil Advani directed film that bore similarities.

Perhaps learning from the entire episode, Shahid Kapoor is understandably denying that his forthcoming release CHANCE PE DANCE is autobiographical in nature. "No, the film isn't an autobiography by any means.

That would be completely wrong to state. Yes, there are some similarities in my personal life when compared to that of the character of Sameer that I play in the film.

However, that only pertains to my younger days when I was struggling and trying to make it big in the industry. Other than that, there isn't anything else about my personal life that would be seen in CHANCE PE DANCE."
