Days after Alia Bhatt’s filmmaker father Mahesh Bhatt spilled the beans on her much
speculated relationship status with Ranbir Kapoor, the 25-year-old actress said
that she loves her father and anything he says “means the world to her”. Alia,
who was interacting with the media on the sidelines of an award function in
Mumbai, also said that she doesn’t want to talk about her relationship status
with her Brahmastra co-star at this juncture. “I am feeling shy but I love my
father and anything he says obviously means the world to me, but I don’t want
to talk about this right now,” Alia stated.
Speaking to The Telegraph earlier this month, Mahesh Bhatt said:
“Well, of course they’re in love. You don’t need to be a genius to get that! I
love Ranbir… he’s a great guy.” In the interview, the 70-year-old filmmaker
also said that he will be supportive of whatever decision Alia and Ranbir go
ahead with regarding their relationship. “What they do to their relationship is
something they’ll have to figure out. Whether it’s heading towards that port
called ‘marriage’ – which is an institution that needs to be questioned in the
second decade of the 21st century – is something for them to figure out,”
Mahesh Bhatt added.
Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor, who are currently busy with the
shooting of Ayan Mukerji’s Brahmastra, are often spotted hanging out together
in and about Mumbai. The paparazzi has also photographed Ranbir catching up
with Mahesh Bhatt at the Bhatt residence. On the debut episode of ‘Koffee With
Karan 6’, Karan Johar also appeared to confirm that Alia and Ranbir are dating.
Alia dropped a major hint about dating Ranbir when she Instagrammed a photo of
them together from Sonam Kapoor’s wedding reception, which took place in May
this year.
