So reckons Vikas Bahl of ‘Shaandaar’.
By Dileep Thekkethil
The promotion of Shaandaar, the upcoming romantic comedy starring Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, is making steady progress ahead of its release on Thursday.
But, it seems like Alia’s and Shahid’s intriguing social media promotion has attracted more eyes as it has none other than Shahid’s wife Mira Rajput too, joining the promotion bandwagon.
A group of images that appeared in Shahid Kapoor’s Instagram account has his wife posing along with Alia Bhatt. Director Vikas Bahl reminded fans with his index finger that now there is just one day to go for the release of Shaandaar.
Even before the marriage of Mira to Shahid, news about her trended heavily on social media as the actor made up his mind out of the blue to marry someone from outside the film fraternity – more specifically “a normal girl”. Later after their marriage, an image of both of them together went viral overnight.
Interestingly, some media reports claim that Mira has been able to build a fan base of her own from the hard-core fans of her hubby. When asked if Mira has become a bigger star than him, Shahid told Indian Express “I can’t say that.”
But breaking into the conversation, Vikas Bahl said “Yes. Mira is a bigger star than all of us put together.”
Vikas also added that Mira should contest for Prime Minister. During an earlier interaction, Vikas had compared Mira to Indian captain M S Dhoni when it comes to popularity. Speaking about the movie Alia Bhatt said, “You all have been wanting a picture like this and we got it done. Also, we have been posting such two days to go, three days to go pictures on Instagram. So, this was something similar.”
