Mira Rajput has carved a path of herself while being married to actor Shahid Kapoor. She runs her own YouTube channel and also owns a wellness and skincare brand. In a recent interaction, Mira spoke about being called ‘star wife’ despite being independent and creating her own identity.

On Social Media Star With Janice Season 5, Mira opposed kids of actors being tagged ‘star kids’. She said, “Maybe it was an association that one needed to make for recall value. But even if you put that on a kid and you say star kid, people don’t like listening to star kid for all of its nepotistic connotations. Yet, that term is still in use — it needs to kind of find its way out.”
