Netizens ask, "Wasn't His Wife 21 When They Had A Child?" when Shahid Kapoor expresses shock at Alia Bhatt becoming a mother at the age of 29

Shahid Kapoor, a Bollywood actor, is recognised as one of the industry's rare treasures. While he is frequently praised for his versatility as an actor, several of his film selections have internet users scratching their heads. The actor has recently been under fire for making the contentious claim that marriage is about women mending a broken guy. It appears that the online community isn't content to stop there. They have now lambasted him for portraying Alia Bhatt's mother as being in her 20s, despite the fact that his own wife, Mira Rajput Kapoor, was just 21 when their daughter Misha was born.

Having worked on films like Shaandaar (2015) and Udta Punjab (2016), Shahid recently stated in an interview that he still finds it hard to believe Alia is a mother. Quoted by Bollywood Life, the actor said, “Now that she’s a mother, I can’t believe she’s a mother. When I worked with her, she was 21. Sometimes, when you spend a lot of time with somebody and then you’ve not met, you still feel they are that only." You don’t feel so much has happened to them.”

It is reasonable to conclude that his comment was not warmly received by online users. To remind him that his wife Mira is only a year younger than the actress, they became viral on social media. One netizen said, “Wasn’t his wife actually 21 when they had a child? Weird that he thinks it’s too young.” Another said, “When they married, Mira was 20 and Shahid was 34. Alia is only a year older than Mira.” Even a portion of the internet defended him, saying he wasn't referring to the age or the moment she accepted parenthood.

For the unversed Shahid and Mira wed in July 2015. Since then, they've given their admirers several relationship goals by sharing lovely social media posts about each other. They are proud parents of their son Zain and daughter Misha.
