In a recent interview, Ranbir Kapoor opened up about his time in lockdown with Alia Bhatt, and confirmed that wedding bells might be ringing soon
Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt have been one of Bollywood's most talked-about-couples since they starting dating back in 2018. And after years of dodging the question, Kapoor's latest revelation about their relationship has gotten fans very excited about their soon-to-be nuptials. In an interview with Rajeev Masand, the actor opened up about its timing, saying that their wedding could have been in 2020 if not for the COVID-19-induced lockdown. “It would’ve been sealed had the pandemic not hit our lives. I don’t want to jinx it by saying anything. I want to tick-mark that goal very soon in my life,” he confirmed.
Bhatt and Kapoor ended up spending a lot of time together during the lockdown, but used their time at home home very differently. “My girlfriend Alia is a bit of an overachiever, and she probably took every class there is—from guitar to screenwriting. I always feel like an underachiever next to her,” he shared. "But I didn’t take any classes. Initially, we were dealing with the family crisis, and then I got into reading, spent time with my family, and I watched two-three films every day.”
While the couple has always shared their appreciation and love for each other in interviews, they've stayed tight-lipped about their wedding—until now. Back in 2019 in an interview with DNA, Bhatt shared: “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.”
In the same year, she described her equation with Ranbir Kapoor as not just a relationship, but a friendship too. “I’m saying this with all genuineness and honesty. It’s beautiful. I’m walking on stars and clouds right now. The best part is that we’re two individuals, who are living our own professional lives in their full form right now.” But Bhatt did also mention marrying Kapoor back in 2014 when she was a guest on Koffee With Karan. The 21-year-old actor said, “I have hung out with him, and I still think he is really adorable. And I still want to marry him.”
