Shahid Kapoor and Mira Rajput are often seen as one of the most talked about couples in Bollywood. While Shahid continues to work in films, Mira has built her own identity outside the industry. Even without being an actor, she has gained attention through her work and public presence.
Recently, Mira attended the Times Now Summit 2026 in Delhi, where she spoke about her personal choices and career path. During the conversation, she was asked if she had ever thought about joining films, especially since she is now part of a well known film family.
Responding to the question, Mira made it clear that acting was never something she considered. She spoke about her respect for the craft and the effort that goes into it. She said, “I am part of a very talented family. I think I admire them and their drive so much. Seeing it in such close quarters has made me understand that there is a lot of skill, a lot of hard work, a sense of relentlessness that is required to hone that craft and that art”.
She further explained why she chose not to explore acting as a career. “And to take it very lightly would be a disservice to the art form in itself. I think I was cut out for something different. So I’m very happy to be in the audience in the back. I don’t think it ever crossed my mind”.
Apart from talking about films, Mira also shared her thoughts on identity and personal growth. She spoke about her journey from Delhi to Mumbai and how important it is for her to have her own sense of self. According to her, identity is shaped not just by work but also by relationships and life experiences.
She said, “For me, I think identity is a very strong part of who I am, my own identity. But I feel I’m very proud to have an identity that values all the relationships that I have as well. I think that’s what’s made me who I am today”.
Mira also highlighted that women should not see their roles in life as limitations. Instead, she believes these roles add value and strength, helping them grow in different ways while still following their goals.
Today, Mira is known for her work as an entrepreneur and influencer. She is associated with her skincare brand Akind and also runs a wellness platform called Dhun. Her journey shows that it is possible to build a strong identity even outside the film industry, while still being connected to it in a personal way.
