Shahid Kapoor’s Wife Mira Rajput admits Marriage at 20 felt ‘Isolating’

Mira Rajput has opened up about the emotional challenges she faced after marrying Shahid Kapoor at 20.

Speaking on the YouTube channel Moment of Silence with Naina Bhan and Sakshi Shivdasani, Mira said the early years of her marriage were marked by a sense of isolation.

She felt envious of her single friends, who were off travelling abroad or continuing their education.

Mira said: “I think we (Mira and her friends) did evolve separately.

“I’d like to admit that it was quite isolating because we were just in different phases of life at that time.

“You get to different phases in life, and you look at your friends… I wish I could do what she’s doing.”

Mira tied the knot with Shahid Kapoor in 2015 in an arranged marriage.

While Shahid was keen after their first meeting, Mira took six months before agreeing.

At the time of their wedding, Mira had turned 20 while Shahid was 34 years old.

Mira Rajput continued: “For the longest time, it was me thinking, ‘Oh, my friend has gone for her master’s, or they’re travelling or like there’s a gap year’.

“You know, life is great. You move cities, you have a wonderful family, kids, all of that… I even remember, I couldn’t speak to them as often as I used to.

“They were like, ‘What has happened? Just because you’ve moved and gotten married doesn’t mean you forget us’.

“I was like, ‘Guys, genuinely, I’m occupied and caught up and stuff’.

“I don’t think they understood it then, but fortunately, the friendship kind of sustained.

“They understand it now because they’re in a similar phase.”

Mira and Shahid have since built a family together. Their daughter Misha was born in 2016. Their son Zain arrived in 2018.

The couple are known for keeping much of their private life away from the spotlight, though Mira often shares personal reflections online.

Meanwhile, Mira Rajput recently launched Dhun Wellness and has taken it to the next level.

She took to social media to share that she has acquired a new office space for her brand.

Mira was seen breaking a coconut alongside Shahid Kapoor, marking an auspicious new beginning.
