She invited me because she wanted to introduce me to the director (Sujoy Ghosh). She knew I was aspiring to be an actor. So, I went, I was quite young. I was having this conversation with the director, and it was a busy crowded party. He was standing here (made a gesture using her hands) and I was standing here and talking, and he lifted his hand. I thought it was the end of the conversation, and we should hug and say bye. But he was calling somebody else. And I had gone for a hug.”

Shahid Kapoor opens up about marrying Mira Rajput when she was 20

Talking about his arranged marriage with Mira, someone who is not from the film industry, the actor said, "So for me, it was very simple. I have two very distinct sides to myself. One is obviously what people see of me being an actor, and from the fraternity, and the glitz and the glamour, you know all that. And then I also have a very homely and spiritual side to myself. I have a deep faith and I am vegetarian. I don't drink. You know, I have all those things, so, I always found it difficult to come across somebody, who would be able to understand both sides of me. And I really struggled with that and I was 34 and I was kind of ready to settle down because I had been living on my own for over ten years and just at that time, through family and through friends everything came up but it just happened and we met and it's the best thing that happened in my life. And I feel she brings so much into my world and she balances me out and she makes me feel very normal and we have beautiful children. And I am very thankful for that."
