Apart from delivering some fantastic movies, Bollywood also gives us lovable couples. And when the couple is Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, the perfection is hard to swallow. After all, both are extremely talented and equally good looking. Ever since Ayan Mukerji’s Brahmastra went down on floors, Ranbir and Alia have been making it to the headlines for their relationship.

In a GQ interview that Ranbir did a while ago, he almost confirmed his relationship with Alia. He was quoted as saying, “It’s really new right now, and I don’t want to overspeak. It needs time to breathe and it needs space. As an actor, as a person, Alia is- what’s the right word- flowing right now. When I see her work, when I see her act, even in life, what she gives is something that I’m aspiring to for myself”.
And now, talking to the Hindustan Times, Ranbir says, “It’s something beautiful and sacred”. He pours his heart out when probed about Alia. Is the Sanju actor aware that he and Alia are a hot topic these days? Ranbir replies, “Honestly, I am not playing hide-and-seek. I am in a happy, positive and beautiful phase of my life. But you can talk about your personal life only to a degree. Otherwise, it becomes the forerunner of your life and your work takes a back seat. There is always excitement to know about someone’s personal life. But you want to give the relationship respect so that people don’t malign it in a gossipy way. It is something beautiful, sacred and really important to you, so you want to deal with it in a nice manner”.
After being in the industry for more than 10 years and in multiple relationships, does Ranbir feel more settled since Alia has come into his life? Ranbir candidly retorts, “I have said this before: it’s very new right now, so it would be really presumptuous to say anything about it or judge it. Workwise, as I work with her in Brahmastra, I know that as a talent, she is at a superlative level. The kind of dedication and love she has for her work is very inspiring. Work comes first for her. After working for 10 years, I may have felt a little jaded or tired, but when you look at her commitment, it rejuvenates you and makes you want to do better”.

On being asked about his professional relationship with his girlfriend, the 35-year-old actor answers, “I really hope that I have the opportunity in Brahmastra to make a great cinematic couple with Alia and do good work with her, because here is an actor who can add so much to you as an artist. So, I am very excited and looking forward to our creative collaboration, and we have the opportunity in Ayan’s film”.

What are his thoughts when people perceive him as a casanova? To this, Ranbir tells HT, “You rightly called it a ‘perception’. I’m not affected by it as long as it doesn’t interfere with my work. I want people to like me not just as an actor, but as a person, too. Sometimes, things are reported correctly and sometimes they’re not. I am not on social media and I don’t believe in clarifications and in portraying myself in a certain way. Yes, I have made a lot of mistakes and have also done some good. But sometimes, mistakes are highlighted and not your goodness, but that’s fine because it’s part and parcel of show business”.
And then, he also adds that he has matured a lot when it comes to such issues. He adds, “I am older now and wiser, too. I realise the value of human relationships, and I am not just talking about a partner, parents, friends or directors, but whoever is in your orbit [at that particular point]. I also realise the value of heartbreak as well as the hurt. I am not saying that I have reached a point where I know everything. It’s a constant struggle and you have to keep evolving as a person to be better, and that’s what I want to be. I want to be a good person, I’d like to do good work, get married, have children and die happy”.
How is life these days for Ranbir Kapoor? The actor beautifully replies, “Life is beautiful. Although there are lot of conflicts, bad omens and not-so-good things happening around us, you should never forget that life is beautiful. Everyone should believe that, because there is so much you can do with your life, and there is so much to be grateful for. Talking about myself, not many get to do what they love. But I am fortunate to be in the space that I am in and have the opportunities that I am getting. Be it my family, partner, or friends, I am grateful for all of them. I truly hope that everybody — somewhere in their life — finds their peace of mind, true relationships, and lets go of the negativity around them”.

And lastly, on being asked about marriage with Alia, Ranbir expresses his thoughts, “It’s all a part of show business. You make up a story, and soon, there’s another story of the first story, and so on. 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”.
In another interview, when Alia was asked about Ranbir, she had beautifully confessed, “There’s no fuss and that same simplicity translates in him as an actor as well. That’s why you can always see through him and see into his eyes. That’s why he’s got that effect on you. He’s simple. He’s not trying to emote or express. Ya, that’s what I like most about Mr Ranbir Kapoor. What do I not like about him? I don’t dislike anything about him as of now”.
