Shahid Kapoor admits daughter Misha has ‘full control over him’ while his son Zain ‘tries to dominate’: ‘Mira also comes through Misha’
Deva actor Shahid Kapoor shared insights into his parenting style at the SCREEN Live event in Mumbai on Friday.

Being a father of two adorable kids is no easy task, but Shahid Kapoor admits that his 8-year-old daughter, Misha, holds a special place in his heart. The Deva actor shared insights into his parenting style at the SCREEN Live event in Mumbai on Friday. While he adores both his children, he confessed that Misha has a unique influence over him compared to his 6-year-old son, Zain.
Opening up about his family dynamics, Shahid admitted, “My son tries to dominate me. I think that is usually a dynamic of girls and boys. Boys are like aggressive and loud, ‘Papa this and that.’ But quietly my daughter has full control over me. Without saying anything, she has full control over me. Quietly she gets the job done and I think girls are far better in doing that. My daughter is my soft spot. She doesn’t even try that hard, but I’m always ready to do whatever she wants.”

Shahid Kapoor also revealed how his wife, Mira Rajput, has caught on to this dynamic. “Now, Mira understands this so well that if she wants something done, she comes to me through Misha,” he quipped.
Shahid also reflected on his parenting philosophy, emphasizing the balance between nurturing his kids and acknowledging their individuality. “As a father I am learning and I am trying to be honest. I like to observe, what they want and what is their weaknesses and strength. It’s important to teach them the basics, it’s combination of all that. Let children be. They are born off you, they aren’t yours. They aren’t your property. They are their own individual. You are just the caretaker. You just have to given them what they need.”
Shahid Kapoor and Mira Rajput tied the knot in 2015 and became parents to Misha in 2016. Two years later, in 2018, they welcomed their son Zain.
