Neelima, the estranged wife of Shahid's father and veteran actor Pankaj Kapur, was visibly happy for their son.

"I am incredibly happy as Shahid has found such a dignified and beautiful girl with a wonderful heart. She comes form a wonderful family and they are extremely lovely people. This is the kind of girl I wanted for Shahid. So, I am extremely happy and I have got the daughter that I always wanted," Neelima told reporters here.

Delhi girl Mira, 21, is a graduate from the city's Lady Shri Ram College. The duo met out of their families' belief in the Radha Soami sect, a philosophical organisation based on the spiritual teachings of all religions.
