The 36-year-old actor said Mira's pregnancy and the birth of Misha helped them come closer.
"Misha was our first project together. The process helped us come closer and feel a sense of togetherness and companionship," Shahid said during an event here.
The couple's arranged marriage raised many eyebrows but it is not all that bad according to the actor, who says their relationship is based on friendship.
"In an arranged marriage, love follows. It starts with friendship. And sometime, most difficult relationships grow with that. Don't look for a 10 on 10 partner. Some things need to be worked around once you start understanding your spouse," he said.
Reminiscing the time when Mira was pregnant with their baby, Shahid said he liked saying "we were pregnant" then.
"I like to say that 'we were pregnant'. I know I did not go through all the hormonal changes and labour pain, but saying that we were in it together is a warm emotion.
