Mira Rajput on Marrying Shahid Kapoor at 20: "It was Quite Isolating..."

Social media personality and entrepreneur Mira Rajput Kapoor recently reflected on getting married at the age of 20. Speaking on a podcast, she admitted that the experience felt "isolating" in the beginning, especially when she compared her life to that of her friends at the time. She also opened up about how her friendships have evolved over the years.

"It was Quite Isolating..."

While speaking to influencers Naina Bhan and Sakshi Shivdasani, Mira Kapoor was asked how she and her friendships evolved after marriage, she said, "I think we (Mira and her friends) did evolve separately. I'd like to admit that it was quite isolating because we were just in different phases of life at that time. You get to different phases in life, and you look at your friends… I wish I could do what she's doing."

"I Couldn't Speak To Them As Often"

She went on to add, "For the longest time, it was me thinking, ‘Oh, my friend has gone for her master's, or they're travelling or like there's a gap year. You know, life is great. You move cities, you have a wonderful family, kids, all of that… I even remember, I couldn't speak to them as often as I used to. They were like, ‘What has happened? Just because you've moved and gotten married doesn't mean you forget us.' I was like, ‘Guys, genuinely, I'm occupied and caught up and stuff.' I don't think they understood it then, but fortunately, the friendship kind of sustained. They understand it now because they're in a similar phase."

Mira And Shahid's Marriage:
