On
the
eve
of
Mother's
Day,
Shahid
Kapoor's
mom
Neliima
Azeem
opened
up
about
raising
her
son
as
a
single
mother
and
revealed
how
her
family
supported
her
during
the
challenging
time.
When
asked
how
did
her
separation
with
Pankaj
Kapoor
affect
Shahid,
Neliima
told
Bollywood
Bubble,
"Shahid
was
very
young,
he
was
three
and
a
half
years
old.
Shahid
was
born
in
Delhi
while
I
was
staying
with
my
parents
because
Pankaj
had
left
much
earlier
and
shifted
to
Mumbai
before
we
knew
that
I
had
conceived.
He
wanted
to
try
his
luck
in
films
and
TV
and
I
supported
him
because
I
thought
he
is
a
very
talented
and
young
man."
Neliima
further
said
that
she
was
actually
taken
care
of
by
her
parents
and
her
brother
throughout
the
pregnancy.
Later,
when
Shahid
was
born,
she
was
staying
with
her
parents
in
their
home.
"Pankaj
and
I
never
had
a
home
together
ever.
Shahid
was
used
to
staying
with
us
there
in
Delhi.
It
wasn't
as
if
he
stayed
with
his
father
and
then
he
had
to
shift.
He
was
in
the
same
surrounding
as
he
was
born.
So
it
did
not
make
a
huge
difference
to
him.
Of
course,
separation
and
divorce
make
a
difference
to
children
but
he
was
very
young
and
he
was
in
the
same
family
structure
as
he
was
used
to
being," added
Azeem.
In
the
same
interview,
Neliima
also
said
that
as
a
child,
Shahid
was
very
obedient
and
didn't
trouble
her
much
with
his
naughtiness.
She
said
the
Vivah
actor
was
not
only
a
good
child,
but
also
a
well-behaved
kid.
"The
moment,
he
was
home,
he
would
become
his
naughty
self.
Shahid
was
always
very
obedient
and
observant.
He
is
very
sensitive
and
kind.
He
doesn't
like
to
be
a
difficult
person
for
other
people.
He
would
adjust
and
was
very
accommodating,"
concluded
Neliima.
