Snippets: Shahid raises an eyebrow on 'Bipasha'
While Bipasha Basu has been raving about her latest song ''Bipasha'', actor Shahid Kapoor, once rumoured to be dating her, says he fails to understand the logic behind having songs named after actors' names.
Personally, he says he would be uncomfortable with it.
"It's very personal. I would be embarrassed by it but I am sure a lot of people will like it. I don't think there is anything wrong with it. I think in films we play different characters, so how could you have songs on your own name is beyond my logic," the 30-year-old said here at an event.
Shahid has just wrapped up shooting for Kunal Kohli's next opposite Priyanka Chopra.

Filmmaker Karan Johar is all praises for veteran actor Rishi Kapoor, who has portrayed two completely opposite characters in two of his productions - "Agneepath" and "Student of The Year."
"When you watch 'Agneepath' and then when you watch 'Student of The Year', you will see the versatility of Rishi Kapoor. You will be surprised to see that he can do two extremely different parts in the same year," the 39-year-old producer-director said here at a recent event.
While "Agneepath" hit theatres Thursday, Johar's directorial "Student of The Year" is expected to release in the middle of this year.

Brand 'Bachchan' is irreplaceable: Prateik
Any remake of an Amitabh Bachchan film cannot affect 'Brand Bachchan', says actor Prateik, who believes the megastar is irreplaceable.
"I don't think anyone can replace the brand 'Bachchan'. You can call him a brand. But for me, he defines Indian cinema when it comes to actors," the 25-year-old said here at the launch of a gym.
Prateik and Big B shared screen space in Prakash Jha's "Aarakshan". The young boy is currently busy promoting his new film "Ek Deewana Tha", which has British model Amy Jackson as the female lead.
