Shahid's mushy revelations about Mira Kapoor. 

Shahid has opened up on his personal life like never before, here are some of the most interesting excerpts. 

On his better half:

"Mira and I never dated. We just met three to four times and decided to get married. I was about to start shooting for Udta Punjab when I met first met Mira. I remember I went to her house for the first time and I was in the Tommy zone. So, I had a ponytail, drop-crotch track pants and weird shoes on. I recall getting out of the car in this avatar at Mira's farmhouse in Delhi. Her dad came out to welcome his son-in-law to be. He saw how I was dressed and he surely thought — 'God what is my daughter getting married to'. He barely looked at me, then whispered 'Come inside' and went away. It was adventurous of Mira to agree to marry a guy who looked like Tommy. I also remember telling her — 'I am going to colour my hair.' You should have seen her face. She is this 20-something girl coming out of LSR College and she was like 'What?' And when I told her I am playing a character called Tommy, she said, 'That is not the name of a guy, it is the name of a dog.'"


"Mira has saved my name on her phone as Tommy. So, when I call her, it says: 'Tommy calling'. Coming back to my hair, the only condition she laid down for me was that when we get married, I will not have coloured hair. She made me promise that when we marry I would sport my normal hair colour. She warned me not wear my hair red on our wedding day. When I married her a month later, I made sure I behaved myself and looked like a decent groom."

"I must confess that I was tempted to marry with red hair. I thought that my kids would see my wedding album and say - 'Our dad was cool. He was so into his work.' But, now I'm domesticated and I listen to everything Mira says."

On kids and paternity: 

"I don't want to speak too much about it, maybe one or two babies will happen. Some of it has to be private. I want to soak it in and I want to be there. I have heard star kids complain that their parents were not there much in their childhood. I do not want to be that guy."
