Earlier reports about their marriage speculated a date in December, but it seems like Shahid Kapoor, who is in his early thirties doesn’t want to procrastinate his wedding date till the year end.
Or it’s likely that the media glare has caught Rajput off-guard and disrupted her normal life, and the only way out of it is to face the inevitable: marriage to the Haider star, whose career graph is suddenly inching up at a furious pace.

Kapoor had earlier dated Bollywood divas Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra. He had decided after break-ups with the two stars that he wanted to settle down with a ‘normal’ girl, who has grown up away from the spotlight of Bollywood. Apparently, Rajput, an English Literature third year student at Lady Shriram College was the girl Kapoor was looking for.
Last week, Kapoor was heard during a promotional event saying “Engagement hasn’t happened but marriage is on the cards at the end of the year and it’s important to clarify it in front of the media. She’s just a regular girl and (I am) a regular guy. Can’t say anything more. I am very happy.”
According to some of Rajput’s friends, she is a private person who has very few friends. She is also said to be is a very focused and intelligent girl who has no problems what so ever in airing her opinions.

It is told that Shahid’s family met Mira during a religious function organised by a religious group called Radha Soami Satsang. His father Pankaj Kapoor is a devotee, and so are Rajput’s parents.
The report about the new date of Shahid-Mira wedding first appeared in Mid-Day. A source was quoted saying, “Both the families have agreed on June 10 as the wedding date. In fact, preparations have already begun.”
But, another source close to the family members was reported saying that June 10this just a tentative date and the family is yet to zero down on a final date for the much anticipated marriage.
The couple is expected to tie the knot in the presence of family members and friends which will be followed by a lavish reception in Mumbai that will be attended by Shahid’s friends and big shots in the Bollywood industry.
