Shahid and I make sure our daughter has her own space says Mira Rajput

Shahid Kapoor's wife Mira Rajput said she and the actor are making sure their daughter has her own space amid all the fanfare surrounding her famous parents.

Shahid and Mira married at a private ceremony in Gurgaon in 2015. The couple welcomed their daughter, Misha, in August last year.


"(We will) make sure Misha has her own space and not feel the pressure of being in a certain way because there are people around her (referring to fans)," Mira said.

"I think she is growing to see her father work so hard.

She will have to respect that and figure out how she is going to manoeuvre her way through that, and I will help her with that," she said.

Mira said childhood is an experience that all children should be allowed to go through the way they want.

"They should stay happy, they should have the freedom to do what they want. They should not feel that someone is getting into their space," Mira said on the sidelines of the launch of noted nutritionist Pooja Makhija's book, Eat Delete Junior.

She said Shahid has been showering all the love on their daughter and is even spoiling her.

"He loves her so much, I can't explain it in words. Misha knows this as well and she uses that to her advantage."

Mira said she is extremely happy and also surprised to see a different side of Shahid as a doting father.

"He (Shahid) has it in him to be very loving and caring and the love that you have for your children is different.

Seeing the fatherly love was surprising for me."

New mothers often complain of sleepless nights but Mira said she set a timetable for their daughter so that both she and Shahid could relax as well.

"I had started with a sleep schedule for Misha much earlier. Both Shahid and I decided that we are going to put Misha to sleep early, so that we get time to be on our own. I did not face any sleepless nights," she said.

Mira said she got a lot of help from family members during pregnancy and even after the birth of her daughter.

"I had a great support system from my family. My mother, sister all of them have gone through motherhood and faced its challenges. There was nothing better than getting the tried and tested advice," she said.

'Thudarum' review round-up: Mohanlal returns to form in a dark, emotional ride that’s winning hearts

Director Tharun Moorthy’s Thudarum has drawn attention not just for its gripping storyline, but for bringing back the Mohanlal audiences have longed to see: an actor rooted in emotion rather than spectacle. With critics praising both the writing and performances, Thudarum has emerged as a memorable addition to Mohanlal’s long filmography, with reviewers calling it a return to form.

Across the board, reviewers highlight how the film presents Mohanlal as Shanmugham (nicknamed Benz), a humble taxi driver and former stuntman who now lives a quiet life in a Kerala village with his wife, played by Shobana, and two children. His prized possession is his old black Ambassador car, a gift from a mentor which becomes central to the plot when it’s unknowingly used, setting off a chain of devastating events.

In the past, each generation delivered a crop of newcomers who injected fresh energy into the industry. That pattern has stalled in recent years, with fewer young actors making a lasting impression. Into this space steps Sreeleela, a fast-rising actor from the South who has begun to attract serious attention in Hindi cinema.
