Shahid Kapoor is a compulsive coffee drinker, who believes in spreading the love around. While in London recently, for his honeymoon, Shahid picked up his favourite (and expensive one at that!) brand of coffee — Davidoff — not just for himself, but for all the Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa Reloaded contestants. Says a source, “The Jhalak unit keeps shooting round the clock and they feel lethargic during the night. The reality show has an exhausting and extremely gruelling schedule which goes on for two shifts sometimes.Shahid himself often feels sleepy and has to have several cups of coffee to stay awake and alert. He brews it, cappuccino-style, just the way he loves it. It was very generous of the actor as he must have spent a small fortune buying the stuff for the entire team!”
Shahid drinks almost eight to ten cups of coffee everyday. Adds the insider, “Shahid picks various kinds of coffee while travelling abroad. He is fond of gourmet coffee. In fact, the actor is also quite an expert on coffee-making and can hold forth on everything from how to brew it better to enriching the taste.”
