While Mira was trolled mercilessly, it was her husband, Shahid Kapoor, who had spoken to the press to clear everything out. Defending his wife, Shahid Kapoor had shared that Mira had addressed a section of women, who choose to stay at home with their babies. He had said, "I think Mira is speaking for a section of women who really aren't being represented. There are times when those women feel that they should not be celebrated. By that I mean women who might not be doing a job, who might choose to be at home, have a baby, take care of the baby and consider that important enough to do at a certain stage in your life."
Shahid Kapoor had further talked about taking a paternity break to be with his wife during Misha’s birth. He had added, "At a different stage of life, you might choose something else. I took five months off when I was having Misha because I felt it was important for me to be with my wife and my child. So that's a choice you make out of a certain sense of independence. I think there are very few people showing any kind of appreciation towards these women."

I have my future ahead of me so I can finish all of my responsibilities and then I have nothing in my way. You know I can raise my daughter, I can be a good wife, I can set my house the way I like, not in terms of the way things should be but the way home must be with its values and ideals.”
Mira had further shared that she is happy being a mother, and would not want to spend just an hour with her child and rush to work. Mira had said that her daughter is not a puppy that she would just spend a little time with her.

I wouldn’t want to spend one hour a day with my child and rush off to work. Why did I have her? She is not a puppy, you know. I want to be there for her as a mother, seeing her grow up has, cannot be quantified." Well, this statement had made Mira a target of trolls.
