Shahid Kapoor has spread the charms of his impeccable acting skills ever since he debuted in the world of glitz and glam in 2003. He has been the lead actor in popular films like Ishq Vishk, Vivah, Jab We Met, Kaminey, Udta Punjab, and many more. In his personal life, Shahid got married to Mira Rajput in 2015, and together they welcomed their two kids, a daughter, Misha, in 2016 and a son, Zain, in 2018.
In one of his old interviews, Shahid talked about welcoming his little girl, Misha, into their lives. He revealed that after he got to know that he and Mira had welcomed a girl into this world, he immediately called up his father-in-law seeking his forgiveness. In an interview with Komal Nahata, Shahid mentioned that he was very happy when he got the news of Misha’s birth, and his next action was to call up Mira’s father. He said:
“I was so happy, and then I was so scared because it was a daughter. And having a girl makes you feel so like ‘oh god’ because I had just gotten married and the first thing, I did was I called Mira’s father and said, ‘Dad, if I did anything to trouble you in the shaadi then I am really sorry.’”
