A mite too staid

Naseeruddin Shah might be a mite too staid. His close pal, Om Puri, though, compensates in full measure. After all the brouhaha in the tabloids over his marital problems with Nandita Puri, the veteran scooted off in a huff to ex spouse Seema Kapoor's home.
Having refreshed his bonds, Puri strode back into Nandita's home to jubilate in their wedding anniversary.
A week later, perky Puri was back into Seema Kapoor's residence to... enjoy her birthday bash!
Details of the Nandita and Puri party are sketchy, but close insiders can't seem to giggle enough over Puri's Punjabi numbers and sense of abandon at Seema's do.

Please explain to me the emboldened parts.

Though I know "a mite" means "slightly" and "staid" means "boring and old-fashioned".
