Mira Rajput turns 28: Shahid Kapoor’s better half is unfazed by ‘star wife label’

Shahid Kapoor's wife Mira Rajput, who was not from the industry and is 14 years younger than the actor, has been in the public eye ever since they got married. Mira was 20 and Shahid was 34 when they tied the knot in 2015. But over the years, we have seen Mira creating her own niche. (Photo: Mira Rajput Kapoor/Instagram)

Over the years, Mira was trolled several times. After Mira got pregnant with her first child within a year of her marriage, many wondered why she is embracing motherhood so early in life. (Photo: Mira Rajput Kapoor/Instagram)

In 2017, Shahid gave a perfect reply to all the haters. "I don't give importance to people who try to get importance by criticizing those who are important. Just because she (Mira) got married early, doesn't mean she doesn't have an identity," Shahid said to a Mid Day. (Photo: Mira Rajput Kapoor/Instagram)

He also added, "Today, women do what they feel like doing. And, as men, we should respect that. Whether you are a working woman, housewife, young mother or a woman who chooses to have a child at a later stage in life, it's your decision. Mira and I are really happy. I wish people could be happy for those who are." (Photo: Mira Rajput Kapoor/Instagram)

Shahid had also said once, "All the things that people have been saying about her are things that I've known for over a year. She's normal, she's great, she's real." (Photo: Mira Rajput Kapoor/Instagram)

Mira was asked about the constant media glare, to which she shared with Hindustan Times, "I am very secure being the kind of person I am and values that I stand for. My principles are well ingrained in me because I have been brought up in a certain way. As for the daily scrutiny, everybody has a right to their opinion, the way I have. One must draw a line when that opinion becomes judgement." (Photo: Mira Rajput Kapoor/Instagram)

She has revealed in the past that her actor husband Shahid has been immensely supportive of her. (Photo: Mira Rajput Kapoor/Instagram)

"Shahid is a very strong pillar of strength. He is always there and has always supported me. I don’t think I have ever crumbled, and since I am very secure, these things don’t really bother me," she shared. (Photo: Mira Rajput Kapoor/Instagram)

"Whenever he sees that something is beginning to affect me, he always brushes it off and that’s his best quality. He loves me and wants me to love myself for who I am. So, he makes sure that I don’t question myself. I don’t think he needs to counsel me or give me advice. Knowing that he has my back, I can speak my mind freely," added Mira.

In Mira's words, "I don’t think people calling me a ‘star wife’ makes me any less. I am who I am and my personality or nature doesn’t get diluted by the fact that I am married to Shahid; it has only gotten enhanced. He is my better half and being with him only makes me more wholesome. So together, we are much stronger. It’s all about your attitude towards it (the term). I am his wife and he is a star. It’s as simple as that. If you want to make a big deal about it, you can. I am very proud to be Shahid’s wife and I think he is equally proud to be my husband and that’s how it should be."
