Shahid Kapoor and Mira

Actor Shahid Kapoor is in a very happy phase, both on the personal and professional front. His marriage with Mira Rajput and the birth of their baby girl named Misha has changed his perspective and he has matured as an individual. Even on the professional front, his recently released flick ‘Rangoon’ may not have hit the bull’s eye at the box office, but his performance won him accolades and he is all geared up for his role in SLB’s ‘Padmavati’.

He recently spoke with a popular daily about the most impressive qualities of wife Mira and how marriage has changed his life for the good. Said Sasha, “We could speak very easily. So, I thought we could be friends in spite of not having anything in common. We were able to connect as people. It felt easy, nice and normal. I found her to be self-assured and not at all affected by the fact that I am an actor.”

He further added, “Marriage changes you for sure. Jab tak insaan samajhta hai ki mujhme kya kya change hua hai (till the time a person understands what all has changed in him), it’s too late to go back.”

He also spoke about the changes he has observed in the film industry and how gender no more defines your role in a movie. Here’s what he said, “The words male and female have become irrelevant. I think we have crossed that stage where (gender) was important to discuss. We have reached a point where (the mindset) is naturally changing in the right direction. Women had a raw deal for quite a few years. I’ve grown up learning to respect talent and professionalism, and that has nothing to do with being male or female. I’m glad that good actors are being empowered today.”

Alright, Shahid!
