The heartthrob of Bollywood, Shahid Kapoor is today one of the happily married men. He undoubtedly broke millions of hearts when he chose to marry a Delhi-based college girl, Mira Rajput Kapoor, through an arranged marriage setup. This was the time when every girl thought, “Why not me?” And finally, on July 7, 2015, Shahid was legally taken by her as they said “I do” in a Sikh wedding style. Shahid and Mira are now proud parents to beautiful kids, Misha Kapoor and Zain Kapoor.
