About Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt’s love story

It all began on the sets of Ayan Mukerji’s ‘Brahmastra: Part One - Shiva’. Though it was their first movie together, it wasn’t the first time that they had worked with each other. In a conversation with Nikhil Kamath on his podcast, Ranbir Kapoor reminisced about the first time he met Alia Bhatt. Back then, Alia was only 9 years old.

“It’s funny, the first time I met Alia was when she was nine years old, and I was 20. We did a photo shoot together for a movie Sanjay Leela Bhansali wanted to make, called Balika Vadhu,” revealed the actor.

Before this, he expressed his contentment over finding his perfect match in Alia. He said, “I’m so lucky I married somebody who I’m extremely close to as a friend. She’s my best friend, and I got really lucky with that. She’s very colourful as a person.”

Soon after tying the knot, the couple welcomed home their baby daughter, Raha, whose utter cuteness filled their world with joy.
