There was a lot of buzz when Shahid announced that he was getting married to Mira Rajput. One of the most eligible bachelors of the tinsel town broke million hearts when he kept his promise of not marrying a girl from the industry and instead chose Mira to be his soul mate. While this news was doing rounds, few wondered, “how come he is marrying just a girl next door” and few sighed and wished to be in the lucky girl’s shoes.
Apart from his movies, Shahid had also grabbed limelight for his affairs with Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra and a link up with Vidya Balan and Sonakshi Sinha raised many eyebrows when he finally decided to make his paradise with a non-celebrity. But as we all know that Cupid has his own plans, and you never know when, how, where, will the cupid strike.

Shahid-Mira Wedding – How They Got Together!
The wedding of Mira and Shahid was an arranged one, and it is also said that Mira was a little doubtful about their marriage because of the 13 years age gap between the two. The star status of Shahid Kapoor was also a worrying factor considering Mira is a very private person. However, the heartthrob of millions was able to convince her and finally she said.”I Do”.
The two families met and sealed their fate. Shasha kept his love life in wraps and did not reveal any details about the girl before the formal engagement. As soon as the news of Shahid’s engagement went viral, Mira disassociated herself with many friends and acquaintances on social media just to maintain the secrecy. The families were initially planning a wedding in December but had to pre-pone it to July as both Shasha and Mira are not very paparazzi friendly and the constant stir around their wedding was making them uncomfortable.
