Mira Rajput rejects ‘star wife' label, questions nepotistic tags: ‘Never understood the concept of a star wife or star kid'
On Social Media Star With Janice Season 5, Mira opposed kids of actors being tagged 'star kids'. She said, 'Maybe it was an association that one needed to make for recall value. But even if you put that on a kid and you say star kid, people don't like listening to star kid for all of its nepotistic connotations. Yet, that term is still in use — it needs to kind of find its way out.'
Mira Rajput also questioned the need to label someone as a 'star wife'. 'I have never understood the concept of a star wife, what does that mean? You can have an actor, a celebrity, or a star who has a wife or a husband — but nobody ever says star husband. Why is there a star wife?'
Mira Rajput and Shahid Kapoor tied the knot when she was 21 years old. The couple has a 13-year age gap and are parents to two children — Misha and Zain. Earlier, in an interaction with influencers Naina Bhan and Sakshi Shivdasani, Mira Rajput spoke about how her marriage initially felt 'isolating'. She said, 'I think we (Mira and her friends) did evolve separately. I'd like to admit that it was quite isolating because we were just in different phases of life at that time. You get to different phases in life, and you look at your friends. I wish I could do what she's doing.'

Rough times for broadcast networks illustrate changing landscape
New York: Two milestones revealed this week illustrate the diminishing power of broadcast television in the media world - one fuelled by the habits of young people and the other by their elders. During June, viewers spent more time watching streaming services than they did for broadcast and cable television combined. That happened for the first time ever in May, by a fraction of a percentage point, but the Nielsen company said on Tuesday that gap widened considerably in June. Also, for the third straight week, Nielsen said that Fox News Channel had more viewers in prime-time on weeknights than any of the main the broadcast networks ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox entertainment. For years, the mantra of media executives was that streaming represented the future for in-home entertainment. Now, that future has clearly arrived. Broadcast TV slips below 20 % of total In June, 46 % of Americans' TV time was spent on streaming services, led by YouTube and Netflix . Cable television networks represented 23.4 % and broadcast was 18.5 %, for a total of just under 42 %, Nielsen said. It was the first time broadcast TV had ever slipped below 20 % of total TV viewing. "It kind of felt like the right time," said Brian Fuhrer, Nielsen's senior vice president for product strategy and thought leadership. "A lot of people thought it would happen more quickly." The driving force in June was school ending for young people, meaning they had more time to watch TV, where Netflix series like "Ginny and Georgia" and "Squid Game" were big hits. Roughly two-thirds of people aged 6 to 17 watched streaming ahead of conventional TV, Nielsen said. In June 2024, the numbers were roughly reversed - 47.7 % of people were watching conventional TV in an average minute, with 40.3 % logged on to a streaming service. While the direction is clear, it's not a death knell for conventional TV. June and July are fallow months, and their viewing will increase when football season begins and original episodes of comedies and dramas return, Fuhrer said. Content is distributed over more platforms It's also not a strict either-or situation; media companies are doing a better job spreading their content out on different platforms to give viewers a choice, he said. The growth of YouTube, which many consumers can access for free and is a portal for "traditional" TV, has also fuelled streaming services. Fox News has occasionally eclipsed the broadcast networks in viewership before, but last week represented the seventh week it has done so in 2025, already more than 2024 and 2023 combined. It averaged 2.4 million viewers in prime time on weeknights last week, Nielsen said. Fox News is also taking advantage of what is traditionally the least-watched time of the year for broadcast networks, when summer nights and barbecues keep people outside. The difference this year is it has won a few weeks outside of the summer, during President Donald Trump's inauguration week in January, for example. Its audience - among the oldest of all television networks - tends to stay pretty steady throughout the year. (AP)
