Mira Rajput and Shahid Kapoor had told Hello! magazine about their equation. “We both are sounding boards to each other. Obviously, he is working and there is a lot more he has been exposed to, there are so many more decisions that he must take even at work day by day. But we do discuss it all, and I think he does appreciate and value my opinion because it’s different, I am an outsider, I am the audience in the relationship, and he is the star,” said Mira.

Shahid agreed that the two ‘communicate very well.’ “She makes me want to be a better person and that shows that she is a really good person,” said Shahid once about his wife.

Shahid always said how getting married made his life better. “I am in a very happy space. It’s a new beginning. Everything changes after marriage. You become a man. You feel responsible. When you are on your own, you feel, ‘It’s all good. Life’s going on.'”
