Shahid Kapoor reveals why he'd missed 'Batti Gul Meter Chalu' promotions in the last few days

Shahid Kapoor has clarified his stand on staying away from the promotions of Batti Gul Meter Chalu, saying he devoted last few days to his children's care as "being a parent is above all else". The37-year-old actor, who welcomed son Zain with wife Mira Rajput last week, said their two-year-old daughter Misha, too has not been keeping well.

"The last few days have been tough. Misha (is) 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," Shahid wrote on Twitter.

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.
