Holding your baby in your arms is a beautiful feeling, in fact, a blessing. However, fatherhood is not only about the good moments that you cherish with your baby but also how it transforms you. It is said that when a baby is born, a father is born. I believe that it is the role that is born and as far as the responsibilities are concerned, one learns them through their own journey. Read to know how daughter Misha’s birth turned out to be a turning point in actor Shahid Kapoor’s life and how it made him realise something he didn’t earlier. 

Shahid Said Sorry To Mira Rajput’s Dad

In an interview with Komal Nahata, Shahid revealed how he apologised to his wife Mira Rajput’s Dad after Misha was born. “I was so happy and then I was so scared because it was a daughter. And having a girl makes you feel so like ‘oh god’ because I had just gotten married and the first thing I did was I called Mira’s father and said, ‘Dad, if I did anything to trouble you in the shaadi then I am really sorry’. Because now that I have just understood that I have a daughter and one day, she will get married and some guy will be with her. At that moment the next 30 years flashed in front of me.”

Shahid Kapoor’s Family

Shahid Kapoor and Mira Rajput celebrated their 9th wedding anniversary yesterday. The couple tied the knot back in 2015 and is blessed with 2 kids - 7-year-old daughter Misha Kapoor and 4-year-old Zain Kapoor. Shahid, who has acted in blockbuster movies like Padmaavat, Udta Punjab, and Kabir Singh, takes his role as a father very seriously. On 23rd June, the star shared a beautiful picture of his kids on Instagram, which was captioned “There can be immense joy filled in a single moment enough to fuel you for days and months. Find 'em and store ‘em in your heart forever. Morning all” 

Shahid Quit Smoking for Misha

In a podcast, No Filter Neha, he revealed that Misha was the reason why he quit smoking. He used to hide it from her and eventually decided to give up the habit. He explained, "When I used to smoke, I would hide from my daughter and smoke. That is actually the reason I gave it up; one day, while I was hiding and having my smoke, I told myself that I am not going to do this forever. And that is the day I decided to quit smoking.”

Shahid Kapoor’s Protective Instinct

Shahid, and wife Mira, often share snaps of their family online however he never lets his protective instinct go wary. In an interview, while speaking about Misha, he said,  “I don’t know why but I enjoy Instagram. In the beginning, it was tough for me to understand why people are so interested in her, and why I should be sharing her life, because I have a protective instinct.”

Misha’s arrival has proved to be a turning point in Shahid’s life and it is quite evident from the fact that he never holds back from talking about her as a proud parent. What is your special memory that you recall from your child’s birth?
