It's official now. Delhi girl Mira Rajput is Shahid Kapoor's girlfriend and the couple have decided to tie the knot by end of 2015.
Rumours about Shahid's relationship with Mira had been flying thick and fast since the last fifteen days.
Remember you read it here first that Shahid's father Pankaj Kapur had travelled to Delhi to meet Mira's family to reassure them that Shahid was serious about Mira (Papa Pankaj met Shahid's girlfriend's parents, March 12).
When asked about this by SpotboyE.com at an event an hour ago, Shahid confirmed, "I am not engaged. But what you have been reading is kind of true. Yes, marriage is on the cards (Read: With Mira Rajput) by the end of this year. I'll refrain from getting into details. And I hope you respect that. She's (Read: Mira Rajput) is a normal girl and I am a normal guy. I thought it was important for me to acknowledge it in front of the media. So I'm doing that. I'm very happy."
Shahid and Mira met through their spiritual guru. Mira, who is 23 years old, has studied at Vasant Valley School and Lady Shri Ram College in Delhi.
A source close to Shahid says, "It was imperative that Shahid came out in the open and said the truth. Mira's pictures had been splashed in the media last week, It could have got very embarrassing for Mira and her family. But all said and done, Shahid was not forced by Mira or her relatives to endorse what the media was writing. So, full marks to Shahid, He has been very honest and brave. Importantly, he didn't take time to declare everything."
Wow Shahid! You are a man! We wish that a lot of your colleagues were like you.
