Yes, you read that read right! On September 5, 2018 evening, Mira was admitted to Hinduja Hospital in Mumbai. Her mother, Bela Rajput, Shahid Kapoor’s mother Neelima Azeem and Ishaan Khatter were spotted at the hospital. And finally, Shahid and Mira were blessed with baby Kapoor no. 2 i.e. a baby boy. Ever since Shahid and Mira announced that they are having a second child, everyone was eagerly waiting for the little one to arrive into the world.
Shahid Kapoor’s Shaandaar co-star, Alia Bhatt shared an Insta story congratulating the couple and revealed that it’s a boy. As soon as the news came out that Shahid and Mira were blessed with a baby boy, wishes started pouring in from the entire Bollywood inudstry. Check out the snapshots here:
In a recent interview with Rajeev Masand, Shahid shared, “I got lucky. I married Mira. She’s as normal as it gets. We kind of hit it off and decided to get into an arranged marriage. By God’s grace it’s been wonderful, the last three years, and she’s been a huge part of that for me.” He further added, “I’m very simple as a person. And although I might live a very lavish lifestyle, I’m very happy I share my life with someone who has a similar mindset.” Shahid feels that he might be “a little simpler than she is. She likes to be a little extravagant sometimes, which I feel is wonderful.”
Shahid tried to wrap up his work commitments so that he can take paternity leave now. Speaking about the same, he earlier said in an interview, "During Misha's birth [in 2016], I took a couple of months off. This time too, I was negotiating to take a month-long break, but things didn't work out. I will get only a week off from work. It is too short a duration, but such are the circumstances." He further said, "I am self-employed, so I think I have more freedom [to take leaves as per my convenience]. If I don't want to work for a certain period, I can do that. Having said that, life is all about finding the right balance." (Also Read: Shahid Kapoor Holds Preggy Wife Mira Rajput Kapoor's Hands Tightly While Walking, Pure Husband Goals)
Sharing his excitement of becoming a father again, Shahid expressed in a throwback interview, “Having a child is the most amazing feeling. And we are fortunate that we are having a second one so soon, so [I am] feeling happy and blessed about that. Family is always a big reason to work even harder. When you come back home to your family [after work], it’s a great feeling.” He further added, “Now, we will have two to deal with so that’s an added responsibility. Till now, we have been parents to only one child but from hereon, it will be about balancing [time and effort]. Mira and I are very excited to discover that journey.”
In a recent interview, Mira shared how her husband Shahid has been the constant pillar of support during her pregnancy. She was quoted as saying, “Shahid is an extremely loving and supportive husband. It comes naturally to him. The smallest things he does make me smile and feel so loved, like when I wake him up in the middle of the night with a foot cramp and he soothes it. Or how hands-on he is with Misha and has really made sure she doesn’t feel the lack of my attention and presence, especially in these last few weeks where I can’t pick her up or play very much with her. It’s everything put together. I couldn’t have asked for a better partner to walk beside me through this journey.”
Shahid and Mira bought a new house which is an estimated 8625 square foot duplex apartment in Worli, Mumbai. Here’s what Shahid has to say about the same, “It’s true that I have looked at a new house and most probably, I will shift in by the end of next year. I need a bigger house now as my current place has just two bedrooms and very soon, Mira and I will have two kids, so I need to move into a bigger house.” (Also Read: Shahid Kapoor And Mira Rajput Kapoor Hosted 'Twotti Fruity Party' For Misha Kapoor As She Turned Two)
