Mira Rajput and Shahid Kapoor had told Hello! magazine about their equation. “We both are sounding boards to each other. Obviously, he is working and there is a lot more he has been exposed to, there are so many more decisions that he must take even at work day by day. But we do discuss it all, and I think he does appreciate and value my opinion because it’s different, I am an outsider, I am the audience in the relationship, and he is the star,” said Mira.
Shahid agreed that the two ‘communicate very well.’ “She makes me want to be a better person and that shows that she is a really good person,” said Shahid once about his wife.

The actor added that he loves the fact that he goes back home to ‘a normal person, who talks about normal things’. The actor had also added that Mira sometimes tells him, “I’m not interested in what’s happening in your industry. Let’s discuss what we are doing for lunch tomorrow or where are we going.”
