Shahid Kapoor to marry Mira Rajput?

Of what we’ve heard, Shahid Kapoor is ready to get married. And the bride is a final year English Honours student from Lady Shri Ram College, Mira Rajput. The two apparently met through a religious group in Beas, of which Shahid and his father Pankaj Kapur are ardent followers. And what’s more, Shahid and Mira reportedly got engaged on January 14^th, but have been avoiding the media. While Shahid and Mira have been keeping hush about the entire affair, reports also say that Shahid’s father visited Mira’s home in Chhatarpur a few days ago. Shahid had earlier expressed the desire to marry someone outside the industry for a fresh perspective. So it remains to be seen if Mira is indeed the one for him.
