Mira Rajput: We have our fights, laugh a lot and raise our baby together

In an intimate gathering held at a five-star hotel on Women’s Day, Shahid Kapoor’s wife, Mira Rajput spoke on several topics regarding motherhood and more. After giving a glimpse of her simple lifestyle on Karan Johar’s famous chat show, Mira spoke about being a star wife.

She said, “Why can’t you be an accomplished homemaker? Accomplishing could mean anything one has their heart set on. I had a tough pregnancy, bringing Misha (seven-month-old daughter) into this world. Now, I love being at home and spending time with my child. I don’t want to spend an hour with her and then rush to work. It’s not that I am not a woman of today. You don’t have to compromise on traditions and ideals to be modern.”

She further spoke about her marital bliss with Shahid and added, “It has worked out beautifully. It’s like any other marriage. We get along, have our fights, laugh a lot and raise our baby together. We are best of friends. When we step out, we are two people taking on the world.”

She also added, “I think it’s great to be fit, but better to be a healthy mother. I faced a lot of pressure when people photographed me. I used to be skinny, but after Misha, I would try on clothes, wondering if my tummy will show. It’s okay to take time to lose weight. I could have been out and about, but chose to spend time with Misha. It is my choice to be at home. A working mother makes her own choices too; neither can be shamed. Feminism is not man versus woman. The new wave of feminism is aggressive and destructive. There is a term called FemeNazi, which is now becoming the female equivalent of male chauvinist.”

Looks like Mira has found the perfect balance between being a star wife and housewife altogether.
