Shahid Kapoor, who is gearing up for the release of Padmavati, says it has been a privilege for him to work with director Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The actor, on Tuesday morning, treated his fans to a question and answer session on Twitter, where one user asked about his experience collaborating with the filmmaker. "Been a pleasure and a privilege," Shahid replied. He will be seen essaying the role of Raja Rawal Ratan Singh, husband of actress Deepika Padukone's character in the film.
 
When asked by another fan what he likes about his character, Shahid said, "Courageous, fearless. Respectful to women." Another user asked if the actor will be starring in a light-hearted film in the near future. "Yes, post Padmavati," he said.
