Shahid Kapoor’s wife Mira Rajput faced a lot of backlash in 2017 after she compared babies to puppies. The newly turned entrepreneur back then also criticised working mothers for leaving their child at home to rush off to work. But Mira regretted the statement and stated that people were hurt by it. She also clarified that she was vulnerable and was in a very emotional space at that time. 

In an interview with Film Companion, Mira said “While I was pushed in that corner for seeming very regressive, I think I probably acted out by saying things… I don’t think I agree with them right now. I think I have come a long way from that.”

I can understand why it wasn’t taken well. I think I was in a vulnerable, emotional space. I think I was just trying to defend myself that my choices are also valid. I regret that and know that a lot of people were hurt by it,” she added. 

At a Women’s Day event in 2017, Mira said, “You know I can raise my daughter, I can be a good wife, I can set my house the way I like, not in terms of the way things should be but the way a home must be with its values and ideals. So, nothing will stop me after that but I love being at home, I love being a mother to my child, I wouldn’t have it any other way. I wouldn’t want to spend one hour a day with my child and rush off to work. Why did I have her? She is not a puppy, you know. I want to be there for her as a mother, seeing her grow up has, cannot be quantified.”

Shahid Kapoor and Mira Rajput got hitched in a private wedding ceremony in Delhi in 2015. The couple was blessed with two children-daughter Misha and son Zain.
