Shahid Kapoor on daughter Misha Kapoor: I hate to think of all the glare that’s on her

Shahid Kapoor states that his daughter Misha Kapoor didn’t choose the glamorous life for herself and for only this reason Shahid feels that he should have opted another job. As he feels that it’s not good for children to go through the paparazzi and they have the right to live a normal childhood. The only reason Misha has to deal with everything because Shahid Kapoor is her father. The actor hopes that her daughter will learn to tackle the media once she grows up. The actor also made some revelations about his childhood.


Shahid Kapoor on Misha Kapoor getting all the attention from the media, “My daughter didn’t choose this glamorous life. What’s her fault? I hate to think of all the glare that’s on her. That is probably the only time I feel I should have had another job. I don’t want her to deal with it. It’s not good for children to go through this. They have a right to a normal childhood.”


He further added, “She has to deal with it because I am her dad. It’s tough for me, as a parent, to make peace with that. I hope she will learn how to tackle it when she grows up. Misha is the only one who soothes me in a world filled with harsh critics. I am responsible for a woman who has left her life in Delhi to be with me. I am responsible for my daughter and must be an example for her. I have to be a good human being first, a good actor later. I’ve realized that this drastic shift is helping me grow as both.”


Recollecting about his own childhood he said, “No one knew I was Pankaj Kapur’s son till I joined the industry. It was only after an IMDB page about me was made that people discovered who my father is. My mother was a struggling actor, who separated from my dad when I was growing up. So, I had a regular middle-class childhood, devoid of attention.”


Shahid Kapoor will be seen next in ‘Batti Gul Metre Chalu’ along with Yami Gautam.
