Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor on Friday announced he and his
wife Mira Rajput are expecting their second child.
The couple took an
innovative route to announce Mira's pregnancy with an Instagram picture of their
first-born daughter Misha lying beside a drawing of balloons with 'Big Sister'
written along with it.
Shahid and Mira, who have a 12-year age gap, tied
the knot in New Delhi on July 7, 2015. They welcomed their first baby in August
2016.
The versatile actor, who has proved his versatility in Bollywood
with roles in films like "Jab We Met", "Kaminey" and "Udta Punjab", has been a
doting dad to Misha. And Mira, who is from Delhi, has been devoted to bringing
up their daughter.
At an event last year, Mira had said her child wasn't
a "puppy" to be left at home.
She had said: "I love being at home, I love
being a mother to my child. I wouldn't want to spend one hour a day with my
child and rush off to work, why did I have her? She is not a puppy; I want to be
there for her as a mother."
This comment earned her the wrath of several
working mothers via social media.
But Shahid had defended her saying it's
their personal choice as a couple that while one of them is working, the other
is taking care of their child.
