Shahid Kapoor is the proud father of Misha and Zain. While Shahid has been an actor way before he had kids, his kids had never seen him in one of his movies until they recently watched him in Jab We Met. The Imtiaz Ali film recently re-released in theatres and that’s when Shahid’s wife Mira Rajput took the kids to the theatre to watch the movie. Shahid shared in a recent chat that his wife would often ask about taking their kids for one of Shahid’s films but they could never zero in on one.
The actor shared with Pinkvilla, “So for the longest time, Mira would ask me, ‘What movie of yours should I show the kids?’ And I would be like, ‘Not a single one.’ Some are not good and the ones that are good are not meant for kids. So the first film they saw of mine and they actually went to the theatre was Jab We Met.”
He added, “Mira and my mom made this plan that finally there is this one film that we can show the kids. They went and watched Jab We Met in the theatre. My son came back and he looked at me and said, ‘Papa, that is how you look without a beard?’”
Jab We Met, also starring Kareena Kapoor, is one of the most successful films of Shahid Kapoor’s career. In a recent chat with the same publication, Shahid said that he was very well aware that Kareena had the stronger part in the movie, but he went ahead with the film anyway. He said, “When I heard the script, I completely loved it. I didn’t have the strongest part. I knew the female part was the strongest part in the film, still, I wanted to be a part of the film.”
The actor added, “I felt it was a very relevant, new age love story where people were speaking like how normal people in their 20s speak, and not how people in their 40s acting to be 20s in movies speak. Imtiaz came up with something which was very real and relatable. I thoroughly enjoyed it and wanted the film to be on my filmography.”
