Talking about the first time they met, Shahid said, “I had been single for four years. I had looked around enough wondering if I will find someone who I will spend my life with. I was looking because I was in my 30s and I was like, 'Ok I should get married and have kids.'It is very important to me to have a home. So when they asked if I would like to meet somebody, I was like why not! And then when I was told she was 21 years old, I was like are you insane!"

Well, and do you guys know that Mira did not know what was going on when they first met? Talking about the experience Mira said, “We met through family. Both our families follow the same path. Our path and our faith is very important to us. I think that is what we like in each other and that is why we get along. The first time we met was at a cousin's house. I didn't know he was there to see me and I was like, bashing Bollywood, saying what are these item numbers and blah blah. I know all others there might have been worried as they knew what was happening."
