Mira Rajput questions : Why does nobody ever say star husband?
and
Mira Rajput
will complete 10 years of marriage, together they have created a small family with
Misha
and
Zain
. Though there is a 13 year age gap between the couple- the two of them share a very strong bond. Over the years
Mira
has charted her own career path as a Youtube content creator ,she now even has her own wellness brand, However, despite her growing presence, Mira often finds herself introduced in the media with the label '
star wife
' — a term she now believes has long outlived its relevance.
Speaking to host
Janice Sequeira
on the first episode of Social Media Star With Janice Season 5, Mira candidly addressed why the label should be done away with. "We ought to get over it now,' she said. 'Maybe it was an association that one needed to make for recall value. But even if you put that on a kid and you say star kid, people don't like listening to star kid for all of its nepotistic connotations. Yet, that term is still in use — it needs to kind of find its way out.'
Mira, who appeared alongside singer-rapper
Badshah
on the episode, also questioned the inherent gender bias in such labels. 'I have never understood the concept of a star wife, what does that mean? You can have an actor, a celebrity, or a star who has a wife or a husband — but nobody ever says star husband. Why is there a star wife?' she pointed out.
With her remark, Mira brought attention to how women associated with public figures are often identified solely through their partners' fame, while male partners rarely face the same. The conversation sparked a fresh dialogue online about media language and the importance of recognising individuals beyond their relationships.

‘Raj Kapoor was reduced to dust as he made ‘Mera Naam Joker', says Mahesh Bhatt: ‘The certainty of failure'
Veteran filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt , known for delivering some of Hindi cinema's most memorable films like 'Arth', 'Aashiqui' among many more, is also known for his deep, philosophical views. This side of him is evident every time he speaks and also the depth in his movies. In a recent interview, he shared his perspective on the unpredictable nature of the film industry . With over five decades of experience behind him, Bhatt believes that failure is far more certain than success in showbiz. Bhatt used the example of legendary filmmaker Raj Kapoor to drive home his point. He recalled how Kapoor went bankrupt after producing Mera Naam Joker in 1970 — a film that is now considered iconic, but had flopped at the box office upon release. Speaking on The Himanshu Mehta Show, he said, 'Raj Kapoor was reduced to dust when he made Mera Naam Joker, but the same Raj Kapoor when he made Bobby, the whole nation came to make him successful because they in a way felt guilty for seeing such a great filmmaker spiral into economic debt,' Bhatt said. 'Those were very trying times for him, and that is the same time I joined films. I have seen him in those vulnerable times. Failure is very difficult to take in our business. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Don't Pay For New Gutters.

'I was talking to Yash Chopra about what we need to talk to a junior about — the certainty of failure. If you want to be in this business, you have to be certain that you will fail more often than succeed. Success is a fluke, failure is guaranteed, and yet you have to keep on going.' Earlier veteran actor Raza Murad had also spoken about how Raj Kapoor faced debts post 'Mera Naam Joker'. In an earlier interview with Filmy Charcha, Murad said, 'After Mera Naam Joker, he was in tremendous debt. Things got so bad that distributors refused to buy Bobby without seeing it first. These were the same people who were once desperate to secure the rights to his movies. But after Mera Naam Joker, everything changed. He refused to show them the movie, but he agreed to show them the songs. '
