Don’t Shahid Kapoor and Mira Rajput Kapoor make for a perfect couple? In an exclusive interview with Times Now, mommy-to-be revealed who will name their second child. She stated, “We haven't decided the name of the baby yet. In fact, we are open to all suggestions. Misha’s name was Shahid's selection. So, this time, I might get to select the name.” She further added, “This time I already have a toddler around and keeping a balance between the one you have and the one that's on its way is very important. Everything changes and you don't want that the one who has been the apple of your eyes for so long and feels that she's the centre of your world to feel neglected and ignored. That is very important.” (Also Read: Mira Rajput Kapoor In Her Pregnancy's Third Trimester Shared Her Sinful Craving)
In fact, a source close to the couple informed a media portal that Shahid and Mira have already chosen names for their baby, one for a boy and one for a girl. The source was quoted as saying, “Shahid and Mira are very excited. Even though this is not the first time they are becoming parents, they have been feeling on top of the world. Having two kids was always their plan and they feel blessed that it is happening just how they wished it to be. The two have decided on a name as well – one for a male child and one for a female child. And just like Misha, the names they have chosen also start with M.”
Shahid and Mira are currently living in their sea-facing home in Juhu but will soon shift to their new abode in Worli. Speaking about the same, Shahid shared, “I have bought a new home in Central Mumbai. It will be a year-and-a-half, perhaps even two, before we do the interiors and move in there. However, it’s an investment that I needed to make. I have a much smaller home in Juhu and with two children (the second one arriving in September), the requirement of the family has changed.”
The Padmaavat actor reminisces the time when he was house-hunting for his bachelor pad, and recalled, “Earlier, when I was house-hunting, I would tell my estate agent that I want a place where there were few neighbours. I didn’t want anyone gawking at me. I wanted to go home quietly and not be waylaid by people.” But now that he has a family, he elaborated on his requirements, “The new home that Mira and I have booked has a garden and other amenities like a gymnasium, etc. Today, our requirement is having a safe place for Misha where she can play with others. We want her to be with kids of her age because that’s how she will have a regular childhood.”
And how his outlook changed after marriage and first child, Misha Kapoor, he remarked, “My outlook towards designing our house has changed. At my earlier pad in Andheri and the current one in Juhu, I broke down most of the walls and made it completely open. I liked the feeling of a home being intimate yet having a lot of open space within. The walls gave me a feeling of being constricted. So, I had converted my 3BHK Andheri home in such a way that I had a massive bedroom, a walk-in wardrobe and the works. I was a bachelor then and my views on the subject were diametrically opposite to what they are now. Today, I want my children to have their own rooms. Obviously, Mira and my requirement is having a bigger space where the two of us can spend time. We like the thought of staying in a high-rise that offers us solitude, yet gives us access to some aspects that families need.” (Also Read: Shahid And Mira's Daughter Misha Has The Perfect Pout, Mommy Mira Wonders Where She Get It From)
