Bollywood eye candy Shahid Kapur says he only wants to compete with the crème-de-la-crème in the industry.

"Why should I compete with any one person? I would like to compete with the best and want to be the best among the best. That is where I want to reach ultimately, " Shahid told.

However, the actor doesn't mean competition in the literal sense.

"A lot of times I see a great performance and get inspired to work better. I feel competition is a wrong term, I think it's more about professional camaraderie and appreciation of someone's work and finding reasons to work harder the next day, " he added.
