He stole a million hearts in his debut movie, Ishq Vishk, and now, the actor is all set to break a million hearts. Confused? Well our very own pin-up boy, Shahid Kapoor has finally decided to tie the knot. Till a while back, there were strong rumours doing the rounds of the media and the film fraternity, that the heartthrob will soon be taking the plunge into matrimony with a Delhi girl, Mira Rajput. As per reports, the bride-to-be is a third-year English (Hons.) student at Lady Shriram College, Delhi University. She has done her schooling from Vasant Valley School, Delhi.
Apparently, Shahid met Mira through the religious group, Radha Soami Satsang Beas. Both Shahid and his father Pankaj Kapur, are devout followers of the group. According to rumours, the two had got engaged in January this year, on Makar Sankranti (January 14). However, the rumours were not totally baseless as Shahid has confirmed the news (to an extent), in an official statement issued to the media.

"I am just a normal guy and she is a normal girl and we should treat it like something that is normal and regular. That is how I look at it. It is my personal space. But I am very happy to announce it to everyone."
