Shahid Kapoor backs out of movie promotions to take care of Misha, says being a parent is above everything else

Bollywood star Shahid Kapoor on Wednesday said that he has had to pull out of his upcoming film, Batti Gul Meter Chalu’s promotions because of his daughter Misha’s ill health. The actor took to Twitter to share that he puts his family and children above all else.

In the tweet, he wrote: “The last few days have been tough. Misha running very high fever and Zain just came home. Have had to miss some promotions. Just 9 days to go for Batti Gul Meter Chalu to release but being a parent is above all else. Hope to resume promotions very soon.”

Shahid’s wife, Mira Rajput, gave birth to their son last week. The couple was photographed taking the newborn, named Zain Kapoor, home a few days later.

Meanwhile, Batti Gul Meter Chalu, directed by Shree Narayan Singh and co-starring Shraddha Kapoor, is set to release on September 21.

The last few days have been tough. Misha running very high fever and Zain just came home. Have had to miss some promotions. Just 9 days to go for Batti Gul meter chalu to release but being a parent is above all else. Hope to resume promotions very soon.
