Alia Bhatt: “If I’m not getting married right now, that’s what I’ll say”

Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt are without a doubt, one of Bollywood’s most-talked-about couples right now. It was back in May 2018 that Kapoor first broke the silence on his relationship with Bhatt, saying “It’s really new right now, and I don’t want to over speak. It needs time to breathe and it needs space.” And almost a year later, rumours surrounding the duo continue to take over the internet every once in a while. One of the most recent ones stemmed from a picture that hit the internet in November 2018, where a frowning Alia Bhatt was seen sitting next to Ranbir Kapoor.

After months of being tight-lipped, Bhatt recently decided to respond to the new rumours surrounding her relationship with Kapoor in a recent interview with DNA. “Honestly, at first when people started claiming I was crying, I found it funny. It’s a joke on my sets and with those who are closest to me,” she revealed. “Anybody who looks at my face tells me, ‘Alia, why are you looking so sad? Please cheer up’. I tend to zone out a lot. But only a few people will know that this is my usual face, when I’m focused or thinking about something. So, I just can’t believe that my frown has become a sensation and a new story is being cooked up every day about how I’m sad. It’s not true. I don’t find the need to clarify it because in my heart, if I know what the truth is, nothing else really matters.”

In case you missed it, Alia Bhatt also used her recent interview to talk about all the speculation surrounding her wedding. “I don’t understand the need for everyone to discuss this [my wedding] all the time. But then, I think to myself that it’s a simple question and my answer remains the same. If I’m not getting married right now, that’s what I’ll say. I’m happy being in a relationship, but that doesn’t mean I’m tying the knot just yet. I’m too young to think about it. When I feel there’s a need to be in a stronger bond with him, we will come to it. But right now, I’m married to my work and I also have my relationship going well on the side.”

On the work front, Bhatt is currently celebrating the success of her latest project, Gully Boy, which also stars Ranveer Singh. The actor has two more movies lined up: period drama Kalank (which includes Madhuri Dixit Nene, Sonakshi Sinha, Varun Dhawan, Aditya Roy Kapur and Sanjay Dutt), and Brahmastra, in which Bhatt’s fans will see her working with Ranbir Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan. Can’t wait for more updates on the couple? Here’s a peek at some of Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor’s sweetest moments together so far.
