Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor's wife and an entrepreneur, Mira Kapoor opened up about the difficult first pregnancy and how she had almost had a miscarriage.
Mira Kapoor, who has just launched her skincare range, spoke with Prakhar Gupta on his podcast. She revealed how in her fourth month of pregnancy she had dilated and had almost lost the unborn child.
During the course of the interview, Mira said her husband Shahid was always there for her during the difficult time in their life.
Mira told in the interview, the moment doctor saw her sonography he asked her to lie down immediately and said she could have lost the child any moment.
“Not many people know this, but when I was pregnant with my daughter, it was my first pregnancy. And you are like, oh, I am 21-20, whatever… I am healthy, and I am like very fit and the prime of my life in terms of having kids. What is the worse can happen, and I almost miscarried when I was four months pregnant. Came back and had this sonography and the doctor tells me that lie down right now," she said.
Mira said she was hospitalised immediately and had to be kept there for two months.
“At the end of two and a half months, I wanted to get out from there, but couldn’t get off the bed, so Shahid spoke to my doctor and told him, ‘I will set up the home as a hospital, will put up the bed, and get everything, but let her be at home."
Mira said Shahid could see that hospitalisation was taking a toll on her mentally.
"He was seeing that it was taking a toll on me mentally. So, we did this, went back home, my whole family come to see me surprises me. They surprised me, and I was so overwhelmed that I started getting contractions," she added.
The doctor then told them that I needed to be admitted to the hospital again.
Shahid and Mira got married in 2015 and welcomed their first child - daughter Misha in 2016. The couple welcomed their son Zain in 2018.
Both Mira and Shahid keep their kids away from limelight as much as possible.
