Shahid Kapoor felt “lonely” before marriage

Shahid Kapoor recently celebrated his one-year wedding anniversary with wife, Mira Rajput Kapoor. Talking about how life was prior to his marriage, Shahid said he felt “lonely”.

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Shahid said that he was in “a happy space” and that when he got married, it was “the perfect time”.

In a response to the publication’s question on how life has changed after marriage, Shahid said, “There are times when you should be having fun. But there comes a time when you should have stability in your life. Stability is a long-term requirement. Short-term plans and a few days of flying around [for work] are fun, but eventually you need that [stability]. Also, I have been living alone since I was 22, so I always wanted that family atmosphere. I used to feel lonely.”

Asked how he felt living with his spouse, compared to his family earlier, he told the publication, “When I used to win an award, of course, my mum (Neelima Azeem; actor) and dad (Pankaj Kapur; actor) were always around, but I didn�۪t have anybody with whom I could share my achievements immediately. Things are different with your parents. It�۪s not that same feeling [that one feels with a spouse]. I would always think, ���Who do I share my happiness with?�۝
