"Etched in memory forever": Shahid Kapoor excited for his "first solo boys" trip with son Zain
Mumbai, January 25
Bollywood star Shahid Kapoor on Sunday showcased his adorable fatherly side as he expressed his excitement over his first "solo boys" trip with his son Zain.
Taking to his Instagram Stories, Shahid shared a touching moment from a flight, capturing him tenderly holding little Zain's hand.
"Some things are too special to even try to explain. They speak for themselves...it's a privilege to be a father. Our first solo all boys trip. Etched in my memory forever," he wrote.
Shahid and Mira got married on July 7, 2015, in an intimate wedding in Delhi. The duo had an arranged marriage.
Their daughter Misha was born in 2016, while Shahid-Mira welcomed Zain in 2018.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Shahid will soon be seen in Vishal Bhardwaj's directorial ' O' Romeo'.
Recently, at the trailer launch event of 'O'Romeo', Shahiddescribed his experience with Vishal Bhardwaj as an "adventurous journey."
"It has always been a crazy and adventurous journey whenever I have collaborated with Vishal sir. I feel that what he couldn't do with dad (Pankaj Kapur) is now doing with me. When I got to work with Vishal sir for the first time, I was very intimidated. I remember asking him about why he chose me for the role in 'Kaminey', and he said, 'I feel like I see something in you that you can do'. After that, he gave me 'Haider', which is a role I believe was very intimidating. We did 'Rangoon' and now 'O'Romeo'. I feel fortunate to be a part of his filmography, and I am happy that he called me after 7-8 years of not working together," he said.
'O Romeo' marks a fourth collaboration between Vishal Bhardwaj and Shahid Kapoor, who have previously worked together in films like 'Kaminey', 'Haider', and 'Rangoon'.
The film is set to hit theatres around Valentine's Week on February 13, 2026.

It's nice to see a Bollywood star being a regular, doting dad. These small moments mean the world to kids. My father used to take me for train journeys, and I still cherish those memories. More power to such parenting!
While the father-son moment is sweet, the article feels like a PR mix. Half of it is about his movie promotion. Wish media would just let the personal moment breathe instead of tying it back to work.
The arranged marriage detail always fascinates me. Shows how well it can work! They seem like a lovely, grounded family. And Shahid-Vishal combo is pure gold. Haider is an all-time classic.
"Etched in memory forever" – what a beautiful phrase. As a new father myself, this hit home. These are the moments we work for. Also, 2026 for the movie? That's some long-term planning! Hope it's worth the wait.
So cute! Little Zain is growing up so fast. Misha must be the proud big sister. It's good to see celeb kids having a relatively normal childhood. More excited for the dad than the actor right now! 😊
