Gender disparity is on an alarming rise across the world, including India. International podiums have been hotly debating about the 'F' word - FEMINISM. But women empowerment begins with one, and the basic concept needs to be dealt with. And while cases of female foeticide and infanticide are beginning to decline in rates; people are still interested in knowing the gender of a celebrity's unborn, let alone their own.
Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor's wife Mira Rajput is pregnant with the couple's second child. Mira is an active social media user and often treats her (and Shahid's too) fans to delightful pictures of family, friends and daughter Misha. On Thursday evening, the star wife decided to explore the newly introduced question-and-answer Instagram feature and replied back to many interesting ones. One particular follower quizzed Mira, "This time boy or girl?" The bada** mommy gave a befitting response, "Don't know and doesn't matter!!"
While we are ready to brush aside as just another curious soul, it nevertheless does establish that gender does matter, because, folks, if you talk about it, you thought about it! Nonetheless, only if we had more parents and mothers like Mira! You go, girl.
While at it (trying the Instagram feature), Mira also doled out quick and crisp parenting advice for a user who asked for it. The second-time mom-to-be stresses over prioritizing memories over materials and that one should never forget to thank their own parents for all that they have done for them.
Yes, Mira chose to embraced motherhood earlier than most do in the profession her husband belongs to, but that has, in no way, affected her parenting skills and in fact, Shahid's better half is a gorgeous example of age is just a number even when it comes to raising a little one.
Shahid and Mira tied the know in July 2015, and welcomed baby girl Misha in August next year. Mira, who is in her third trimester now, is expected to deliver in October. Shahid, on the other hand, is busy wrapping up his shoot schedules with Batti Gul Meter Chalu, Arjun Reddy remake in his kitty.
