We were aware of each other’s spiritual faith.”

In the same interview, Shahid also revealed his first meeting with Mira and shared how they gradually overcame the feeling of awkwardness with one another due to their age gap. He added that Mira was never shy, and they spoke at length for hours. Moreover, he also heaped praises on his in-laws and added that he feels fortunate to have met people like them. He mentioned:
“She’s all of 20 years old, she’s normal, and she really doesn’t care. And you can make out the difference, when you meet people who are acting like they don’t care, but are very affected. She was more interested in figuring out what she felt about me as a person, and we spoke for seven hours, and then I met her family, and her family was very classy, very dignified, very normal. I’m fortunate to have in-laws like that.”
In the same interview with Mid-Day, Shahid also spoke about another aspect of his personal life, that concerned his ex-girlfriend, Kareena Kapoor. He mentioned that when his kissing picture with Kareena was leaked to the media, it ended up taking a toll on his career. He emphasised that he was all but 24 at that time, and he felt that his privacy was affected and that he could do nothing to protect it.

He revealed that he did not choose her, but things happened as per destiny. Moreover, he spoke about the 13 year age gap between them and how they gradually got along despite it. In his words:
“I didn’t choose her. Maybe you should ask why she chose me. I was 13-and-a-half years older than her. We met through family, and we were unassuming enough to be open to meeting each other. We got along from the time we met, and it just happened. It was meant to happen. When I look back even I wonder, yeh kaise ho gaya?”
