Shahid Kapur finally sorts out problem with mom, Neelima
There has been much talk that things are not fine between Shahid Kapur and his mom, Neelima Azmi. Shahid's mom in fact has even spoke to the media lashing out at her ex-husband and Shahid's dad, Pankaj Kapur for creating a rift between her and Shahid. Sources claim that the actual reason for the rift between Shahid and his mom has been her second marriage about four years back to Raza Ali Khan. It seems that things have never quite been the same between Shahid and his mom ever since Neelima tied the knot with Raza four years back. However now both Shahid and Raza Ali Khan are trying to work things out. Shahid is even considering doing a film that will be directed by mom Neelima Azmi.
Just some time back Shahid and Neelima's present husband, Raza met up and are trying to work things out now for the sake of Neelima. Shahid has always had reservations about Neelima tying the knot with Raza, but now that time has passed, things have cooled down and both parties are trying to compromise and get to know the other. Neelima said "Well Shahid had his point of view and I had mine. It's okay, things are falling in place now. After all, I am his mother." Neelima is also keen to direct her first film and she naturally wants to cast son Shahid, she also wants to cast Govinda and Amrita Rao for the film. Shahid is currently reading the script and still has to give his assent to the film. Well lets' hope that the problem between the mother-son duo has finally been sorted out.
