Shahid Kapoor Calls 'Perfect Marriage' A 'Dangerous Term', Reveals How He And Wife, Mira Divide Veto

Shahid Kapoor is one of the most upfront actors in Bollywood, and he has never shied away from expressing his honest views in front of the media. In his personal life, Shahid has been married to Mira Rajput since 2015, and they are one of the most loved couples in Bollywood. Despite this, the actor has always been vocal about sharing his views on their age difference, shared responsibilities, and mutual bond. Likewise, Shahid recently revealed his views on the 'idea of perfect marriage' and mentioned how he and his wife have segmented authority in their marriage. 

Shahid Kapoor says that there is 'nothing like perfect marriage'

Shahid Kapoor has been married to Mira Rajput for more than 8 years now, and the couple is still going strong. In a recent interview with Raj Shamani, he was asked about his idea of a perfect marriage. However, the Jab We Met actor's response surprised everyone, as he mentioned that there is nothing like a perfect marriage and that one must avoid using it. Elaborating his views, Shahid said: 

'It's a dangerous term you should avoid using. It usually leads to disappointment. There is nothing like a perfect marriage, a good marriage, a healthy marriage can be. First of all, is a marriage where you know there is nothing called a perfect marriage, rule no. 1."

Shahid shared that instead of focusing on perfection, continuously understanding, accepting, and respecting one another is significant in a marriage. He added that it will be a healthy marriage if one thinks about what matters to one's partner and vice versa. But, when one person will only talk about their needs, ignoring their partner, it's a recipe for disaster, and he has experienced both aspects in his life.

In the same conversation, Shahid Kapoor mentioned that a big part of their marriage is that they have divided on who will veto what. There are a few things where they both have an opinion, but in the case of others, there are some things where he takes the final decision, and Mira does in another. Citing an example, he shared that in case his wife is not at home and one of their kids falls ill when he is at home, they will communicate, but still Mira will make the final decision. Sharing the reason for it, Shahid noted: 

"Eventually, it's her decision because she has spent more time taking care of them. In the first 7-8 years of my marriage I have worked more. Now Mira started working a lot more but she has much more information. She is at the top in that aspect of the children. So, if that day I happen to be there, it doesn't mean I get a veto. We will still have to communicate, but eventually, she takes the decision."

The Udta Punjab actor highlighted that they had their fair share of disagreements before they reached this conclusion. It comes with time, but a couple needs to understand that they are not on the same track. Rather, Shahid explained that a marriage is about two people on separate tracks, choosing to move together. Moreover, their shared life experiences cannot take away their individual life experience. Rather, it adds to it. So, one must give space to the other one to explore their individuality in marriage.
