Last night, during an awards show, where Shahid was felicitated he spoke at length about the pregnancy and the announcement. When he was asked about his feelings to become a father again, he said, “Yes, of course. I'm very happy. We just felt like sharing it with everybody. Mira said she wanted to put it out on Instagram and I thought the photograph was really cute. It was a spontaneous decision and it just happened."

Shahid had also said recently, “Mira, who is just 22, would prefer to have a second kid soon as well. She wants to flip the norm, get the kids to a certain age and then be free to do what she likes." Shahid had also said that he wants to be a very hands-on dad. He had said previously about expanding his family, “I don't want to speak too much about it, maybe one or two babies will happen. Some of it has to be private. I want to soak it in and I want to be there. I have heard star kids complain that their parents were not there much in their childhood. I do not want to be that guy."
