I was 20 & Alia was 9 When We First Met: Ranbir Kapoor

Ranbir Kapoor doesn't have official social media handles and he doesn't like to talk about himself a lot. He is an actor who comes out during promotions of his movies and prefers to stay away from the media. But he is always in the limelight no matter what. He has a certain image prior to marriage and it is still intact even after becoming a husband and a dad.

He recently talked about it and opened up about his relationship with Alia Bhatt. He said, “I'm so lucky I married somebody I'm so close to as a friend where we can really chat, laugh, bitch. You know, like she's my best friend. I got really lucky with that. Alia is a wonderful person. She's somebody who's got… she's very colourful.”

He added, “She's 11 years younger than me and it's very funny; the first time I met Alia was when she was 9 years old and I was 20 years old and we did a photoshoot together because Sanjay Leela Bhansali wanted to make a film called 'Balika Vadhu' about child marriage. That's the first time I met her. It seems a little weird now to say. Alia was somebody I met over the years and thought this person is special. I have immense respect for her as an actor, artist, person, daughter, and sister. She really makes me smile. I love going on a holiday with her but I also love to be home with her.”

Explaining how his wife Alia is as a person, he revealed, “She's an ambitious one and she's an overachiever. Work is something she's extremely passionate about. Extremely passionate, extremely intelligent. So yeah, she has spaces where she's fragmented so you have to get her attention. But I think over the years after me cribbing to her about it, I have her attention. She listens when I'm talking. She has really made some effort and I must acknowledge that everything I complain about, she complains about, she has made more effort.”

Ranbir is currently working on 'Ramayan' under Nitesh Tiwari's direction and Sai Pallavi is the heroine in it.
