President Kovind is on a three-day state visit of Europe.

President Kovind and Bulgarian president interacted with the lead cast, director and Indo-European crew and enquired about cultural ties and business. The team has been stationed in that country for close to a month now. Ranbir and Ayan have been sharing pictures of other cast members on Instagram and sharing their lives with their fans. Though, Ranbir has been clicking the pictures mentioned, many of them are shared by his girlfriend Alia. In fact, the first feelers of a budding romance between the two come from the time the Brahmastra team was stationed in Israel for the film’s shoot. Some time back Amitabh Bachchan and Telugu superstar Nagarjuna were also present in Bulgaria for the shoots.

Meanwhile, the film which is said to be a supernatural thriller, is a trilogy produced by Karan Johar. The film has already completed two schedules of shooting.

On work front, both Alia and Ranbir remain as busy as ever--while she has her hands full with films like Kalank and Takht, both Karan Johar presentations, Ranbir has Shamshera with YRF.

On their relationship front, while much was speculated for a long time, in a GQ interview in May, Ranbir set the record straight by declaring that he was indeed in a relationship with Alia but because it was in its early, he didn’t want to speak much. Alia has, however, not spoken about it clear terms. However, she have the backing of almost all who matter. Rishi Kapoor had recently told the press that with regard to Alia “Ranbir likes her, Neetu likes her, I like her... get it?”

Ranbir, speaking to Hindustan Times, had said, “I have always believed that marriage is something that will happen naturally. It can’t be like, ‘Okay, I am 35 now, so it’s time to get married’. It should come to you and your partner naturally and you should both feel, ‘This is the right phase. Now, we should take this relationship to the next level’. But abhi aisi koi baat nai hai. I haven’t decided on marriage yet.”
