Theirs is a blended family and Supriya was asked about how she manages relationships within a blended family. She chose to answer with an example from her childhood and the idea of joint family that was inculcated in her from a young age. 'A woman has many sides to her personality and if she explores every side of her personality, then it can turn into a complete story,' she said and added, 'I never feel forced about developing relationships, all these things come naturally to me.'
In an earlier chat with Twinkle Khanna on Tweak India, Supriya spoke about her first meeting with Shahid. 'He was very warm and he did not have any defiant reactions towards me, and nor did I have them too. So, when we met, we instantly liked each other as people. And I think that is what just carried on. Though there were a lot of times when he was not with us, so whenever he would come and we kind of always… we reacted to each other as people,' she said.

Shahid Kapoor plays ball at Lord's; Arjun Talwar nostalgia grips fans; Mira joins in for special day out
Bollywood star Shahid Kapoor sent a wave of nostalgia through the internet as he hit the pitch at London's iconic Lord's Cricket Ground. " Arjun Talwar is back": Fans react to Shahid's 'Jersey' moment Dressed in full cricket whites, the actor instantly reminded fans of his powerful performance as Arjun Talwar in Jersey. Social media lit up with comments like 'Arjun Talwar is back!' and 'This is not just cricket, this is emotion. ' His on-field photos — showing him flexing muscles and holding the bat with purpose — captured the very spirit of his beloved 2022 role. Mira Rajput joins Shahid at the home of Cricket Adding charm to the cricket-field day was Shahid's wife Mira Rajput Kapoor. The couple posed together for a candid photo against the lush backdrop of the historic stadium. Mira, radiant in white, stood proudly beside Shahid, making the moment even more special for fans. Shahid later changed into a stylish deep-blue shirt and tailored trousers, proving once again that he's got both athletic and fashion flair. The official Lord's Instagram handle shared a joyful photo of Shahid with fellow players and writing: 'An absolute privilege to have @shahidkapoor playing at the Home of Cricket today!' Perfect timing: Visit coincides with thrilling India-England test Shahid's Lord's outing happened to coincide with the dramatic third Test match between India and England held from July 25–29. While Shahid swung the bat for a friendly celebrity match, India battled hard on the same pitch just days earlier — narrowly losing to England by 22 runs in what many are calling an unforgettable Test. On the work front, Shahid Kapoor was last seen in the thriller 'Deva' which was the official remake of the Mollywood film 'Mumbai Police'.
