Koffee With Karan 7: Shahid Kapoor opens up on his wife Mira Rajput's understanding of his glamourous and spiritual sides

The most recent guests on Karan Johar's seventh episode of Koffee With Karan were Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani. Although it was Kiara's first appearance on the well-known chat show, Shahid continued his tradition of appearing on it every season. The two performers had several stimulating conversations, shared some frank and entertaining insights, and discussed their personal as well as professional lives. In relation to this, Shahid mentioned his relationship with his wife, Mira Rajput, and said that she is probably the only person who could truly comprehend his dual nature.

In the show, Karan questioned Shahid about if he made a deliberate choice to wed Mira, who isn't a part of the Bollywood industry. Shahid responded, "So for me, it was very simple. I have two very distinct sides to myself. One is obviously what people see of me being an actor, and from the fraternity, and the glitz and the glamour, you know all that. And then I also have a very homely and spiritual side to myself. I have a deep faith and I am a vegetarian. I don’t drink. You know, I have all those things, so, I always found it difficult to come across somebody who would be able to understand both sides of me."

He continued by describing his struggles with it as well as the fact that, at the age of 34, he was starting to feel ready to settle down. He also said that he had been living alone for almost ten years. Shahid added, "And just at that time, through family and through friends, everything came up. But it just happened that we met, and it’s the best thing that happened in my life. And I feel like she adds so much to my life, balances me out, and makes me feel very normal. We have beautiful children. And I am very thankful for that."

Meanwhile, Shahid and Mira married in 2015 after meeting through an arranged marriage. They have two gorgeous children, Misha and Zain.
