Among the many Bollywood couples, the one who always shine bright in the crowd are Shahid Kapoor and Mira Rajput. The couple is soon to complete nine years of marriage, and in these past years, have welcomed two beautiful kids — a daughter, Misha, and a son, Zain. Mira who tied the knot at a very young age of 21, shares how she is the one who plays bad cop in general to keep her kids grounded, while Shahid Kapoor spoils them by buying them cool stuff. Mira also shared how Shahid has changed as a person over time.

Talking about bringing up their children, Mira Kapoor in an interview with Film Companion said, “It is very easy to spoil kids. I think its takes a village to raise a child. There are grandparents, uncles, aunts, they are all there. The balancing act continues. It will always be there. I think I am the bad cop in general. Whether it is not giving them what they want or telling them their bed time, or making them do their home work or teaching them their tables, I think their dad gets to spoil them a little bit and get them cool shoes and I am going to be like you can’t get them these shoes. On the other hand, he is like I don’t want my kids to be like that and then I am like see you can’t do that when you are giving them these shoes.”

She said, “He was always seeking a lot of warmth. It just came about in this way. Another part of him that I have seen really evolve is his spiritual side. That is something that I have seen he has really honed and worked on and that is his own personal journey but I think its found its way into his self expression and his being and the way he conducts himself so differently. A side of him has come out that is very warm, affectionate and emphathetic. He always had that empathy but had noone to empathise with.”

In an interview with The Humans Of Bombay, Shahid Kapoor said, “I was 33 or 34, and was very lonely. I’d win awards and come back and share them with my dog. I’d feel, ‘Yeh kya life hai? What is the point of all this?’ I felt like sharing my life with someone. I was single, happy, independent, doing well in my career—but I felt lonely. I wanted to have my own family, I craved that companionship. I was open to meeting someone I could settle down with, I didn’t care how I met them. That’s how arranged marriage happened.”

In the same interview, he added, “This entire marriage thing is about one thing; the guy was a mess and the woman came in to fix him. So the rest of his life is going to be a journey of him getting fixed and becoming a decent person. That’s pretty much what life is about.”

However, the actor received massive backlash for his statement.
