Veteran actor Supriya Pathak recently spoke warmly about her relationship with daughter-in-law Mira Rajput Kapoor, saying that Mira never felt like an outsider after joining the family.
Mira married actor Shahid Kapoor in 2015 when she was just 20 years old. Over the years, the couple has built a close-knit family and are now parents to two children, Misha Kapoor and Zain Kapoor.
“She was always part of our home”
In a recent interview, Supriya Pathak shared that Mira blended into the Kapoor household effortlessly.
According to the actor, the family never felt that Mira had “entered” their home as a new member. Instead, she always felt like she already belonged there. Supriya even joked that Mira was the family’s “missing child” who had finally found her way back.
She added that she has never viewed Mira through the traditional lens of a daughter-in-law, emphasizing that their relationship is far more natural and affectionate.
The Kapoor family dynamic
Supriya Pathak and her husband Pankaj Kapur share two children together — actress Sanah Kapur and their son Ruhaan.
Talking about parenting, Supriya mentioned that she always tried to maintain a friendly relationship with her children. Rather than guiding them strictly, she focused on being present for them whenever they needed support.
A loving bond with the grandchildren
Supriya also spoke about her bond with Shahid and Mira’s children, describing them as a source of immense joy for the family.
She said that when both grandchildren are around, it instantly brightens the atmosphere at home. During the conversation, Sanah Kapur added that young Misha often enjoys chatting with Supriya and sharing little updates from her daily life.
How Shahid and Mira’s marriage came together
Earlier, Pankaj Kapur had spoken about how Shahid and Mira’s marriage was arranged through the spiritual organisation Radha Soami Satsang Beas.
He explained that the two families were introduced with the intention of exploring a match, which eventually led to Shahid and Mira tying the knot.
Pankaj also praised Mira, describing her as a wonderful person who feels more like a daughter than a daughter-in-law. Echoing his sentiment, Supriya said the family feels fortunate to have Mira, adding that she has played a significant role in strengthening the bond within the household.
