Aamir Khan doesn’t look at numbers when doing a film

Shahid Kapoor has responded to haters, who have been hurling abuse at him and his wife, Mira Rajput Kapoor, since the couple got married.

While, the wedding received mainly positive vibes amongst fans, it was a section of the Internet that caused a stir when they criticised Shahid for marrying a 21-year old. They went further by saying it destroyed her chances of growing her career.

In an interview with Mid-Day, Shahid responded by saying, “I don’t give importance to people who try to get importance by criticizing those who are important. Just because she [Mira] got married early, doesn’t mean she doesn’t have an identity. Today, women do what they feel like doing. And, as men, we should respect that. Whether you are a working woman, housewife, young mother or a woman who chooses to have a child at a later stage in life, it’s your decision. Mira and I are really happy. I wish people could be happy for those who are.”

However, the couple silenced some of their critics when they appeared on ‘Koffee With Karan’ for an exclusive interview, which went down a storm. He added, “I think people have loved Mira’s interview, and I was also there (laughs). I think what people enjoyed most was watching us as a couple. It was more about seeing me as a husband, and her as the person she is. All the things that people have been saying about her are things that I’ve known for over a year. She’s normal, she’s great, she’s real.”

Shahid is currently working on ‘Padmavati’, out this November. His next film ‘Rangoon’ is out on 24th February 2017.
