Mumbai, July 18 - The one thing that Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor couldn't resist as a child was playing video games - he was so addicted that he used to spend all his pocket money on them.

'As a kid growing up in Delhi, Shahid used to spend the maximum time inside video game parlours, playing video games incessantly. All his pocket money was spent on playing video games. He used to play till he would run out of money. There were times when he would sit for hours glued to the game,' said a source.

The 28-year-old, who owns PSP and X Box, feels if he starts playing again, he won't be able to concentrate on his work.

'If I start gaming again I will not be able to read scripts and concentrate on my work. It's best if I stay away from this old addiction of mine,' said Shahid who will be seen in a completely different avatar in his forthcoming release 'Kaminey'.
