Complimenting Mira, Karan asked Shahid, "Was yours a conscious decision? Also there was no one left." Shahid asked, "Conscious decision? Is marriage ever a conscious decision?" When Kiara Advani, who joined Shahid on the show, said, "Of course, in a way it is", Shahid told her, "When you get there you will realise how conscious you are of what's going on."
Shahid then continued, “I think it's a little bit of outer body experience when you are actually getting married. So for me, it was very simple. I have two very distinct sides to myself. One is obviously what people see of me being an actor and from the fraternity and the glitz and the glamour, all that. And then I also have a very homely and spiritual side to myself.”
He continued, “I have a deep faith and I am a vegetarian, I don't drink. I have all those things. So I always found it difficult to come across somebody who would be able to understand both sides of me. I really struggled with that. I was 34 and I was kind of ready to settle down because I had been living on my own for over ten years."
