As Shahid Kapoor celebrates his 45th birthday today, fans are reminiscing about one of his most cherished and amusing fan interactions, which showcased the actor's humorous and endearing personality. In a past conversation, a fan inquired whether he would like to collaborate with his wife, Mira Rajput Kapoor, on a film. The fan asked, 'Sir, if you had the chance to do a movie with your wife Mira, which one would you choose?
The actor, famous for his witty humor, delivered a reply that quickly became popular online. In a Bollywood Hungama video, he laughed and remarked, 'I believe if she were to pursue something, it wouldn't be a film but rather the show Schitt's Creek. So, I think that's what she would prefer.'
A romantic tale that started with an arranged marriage
The tale of Shahid and Mira Rajput Kapoor is frequently portrayed as a blend of modernity and tradition. Their families introduced them through the Radha Soami Satsang Beas religious group, and what started as an arranged match blossomed into one of Bollywood's most cherished romances. It is said that Mira took approximately six months to agree to meet Shahid, while he confessed to being captivated by her elegance during their initial encounter — a seven-hour conversation at a farmhouse in Delhi.
Even with a 14-year age difference, their relationship developed rapidly. Shahid frequently mentions being attracted to Mira's straightforwardness and her maturity that surpasses her age. The pair got married on July 7, 2015, in a private ceremony in Delhi, with only close family and friends present.
As of today, the couple joyfully parents two children, Misha, born in 2016, and Zain, born in 2018. On their 10th wedding anniversary in 2025, Mira shared a touching message on Instagram with a collection of nostalgic photos. She expressed, 'A decade later, and you're still my one and only, my forever. It's you and I, we, us, and now.'
Mira evaluates O’Romeo
Earlier this year, Mira took on the role of a film critic for Shahid's newest romantic-thriller, O'Romeo, directed by Vishal Bhardwaj. In her Instagram review, she commended the entire cast, including Triptii Dimri, Nana Patekar, Tamannaah Bhatia, Avinash Tiwary, and Disha Patani, and described Bhardwaj as 'a genius of finesse.' She concluded her post with a heartfelt mention of her husband: 'My Romeo, your best yet. Not a beat that missed.'
From sincere reviews to lighthearted interviews, Shahid and Mira consistently captivate fans with their authentic affection and natural chemistry.
