Shahid Kapoor is currently juggling time for the promotions of his next film Batti Gul Meter Chalu and the prep of the Arjun Reddy remake. The actor will kick-start shooting for the Hindi remake of the Telugu hit Arjun Reddy next month.
However, Shahid is trying to wrap up his professional commitments before he takes paternity leave for a week to welcome his second baby with wife Mira.
The actor says, “During Misha’s birth [in 2016], I took a couple of months off. This time too, I was negotiating to take a month-long break, but things didn’t work out. I will get only a week off from work. It is too short a duration, but such are the circumstances.”

On talking about the need for paternity leave, he says, “I am self-employed, so I think I have more freedom [to take leaves as per my convenience]. If I don’t want to work for a certain period, I can do that. Having said that, life is all about finding the right balance.”
