Don't look for 10 on 10 partner, some things need to be worked: Shahid Kapoor

Mumbai: Shahid Kapoor welcomed his first child with Mira Rajput last year and the actor, who had an arranged marriage, said the baby was their first project together.

The 36-year-old actor said Mira's pregnancy and the birth of Misha helped them come closer. "Misha was our first project together. The process helped us come closer and feel a sense of togetherness and companionship," Shahid said.

The couple's arranged marriage raised many eyebrows but it is not all that bad according to the actor, who said their relationship is based on friendship.

"In an arranged marriage, love follows. It starts with friendship. And sometime, most difficult relationships grow with that. Don't look for a 10 on 10 partner. Some things need to be worked around once you start understanding your spouse," he said.

Shahid also said that sometimes despite there being love, it is hard to live with the person.

Reminiscing the time when Mira was pregnant with their baby, Shahid said he liked saying 'we were pregnant' then. "I like to say that 'we were pregnant'. I know I did not go through all the hormonal changes and labour pain, but saying that we were in it together is a warm emotion."
