Mira Rajput, who married Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor at just 20, recently opened up about the emotional challenges of marrying young.
In a candid conversation with Naina Bhan and Sakshi Shivdasani, she shared how isolating the experience felt, especially as her friends pursued studies, travel, and career adventures, while she adjusted to married life.
She admitted to feeling envious at times, watching friends enjoy gap years, move cities, or chase professional goals.
Though content in her personal life, Mira acknowledged that evolving in a different life phase created distance in her friendships and left her feeling alone.
Communication with her friends also suffered, with some feeling neglected. However, as time passed and her friends entered similar life stages, mutual understanding returned.
Mira’s reflections highlighted the emotional complexity of early marriage, especially when one’s peers are on very different paths.
