The most-awaited Bollywood wedding is finally happening and we cannot keep calm. Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt are all set to tie the knot on April 17 and it feels so surreal. Yes, we have been eagerly waiting for this day for years. We somewhere knew that it would happen soon. But, now that it’s really happening, we are kinda pinching ourselves to make sure that we aren’t dreaming. Well, can you blame us? Ranbir and Alia’s relationship has been nothing short of a fairytale and sounds like a quintessential Bollywood rom-com. *Touchwood*
With the couple all set to start a new chapter of their lives, let’s take a look at their one-of-a-kind love story:
Childhood Crush
Alia, at the age of 11, auditioned for a role in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s movie, Black. It was the first time when she met the assistant director of SBL and found herself instantly crushing on him. That AD was none other than Ranbir. You see, when we say that #Ralia’s love story is dreamy, we mean it. The actress is about to marry her childhood crush and we think it’s magical AF.
Dating Rumours
Around 2014, Ranbir was often spotted with Imtiaz Ali and Alia by paps. While the couple was not exactly dating back then, he was spending time with the actress on the set of Highway. It was probably the time when the two got to know each other and became close friends.
First Appearance
After the release of Highway, #Ralia’s fans had started speculating about their budding romance. But, it was in 2018, at Sonam Kapoor’s wedding, when all the rumours were put to rest. Ranbir and Alia arrived together at the event and looked every bit amazing. While the actor wore an ivory sherwani, his girlfriend donned an iconic lime green lehenga. Needless to say, their pics went viral on the internet instantly and honestly, it’s one of their best snaps to date.
Acceptance Of Love
After Sonam’s wedding, the actors made their relationship official by acknowledging their feelings during interviews. While talking to different publications, Ranbir said, “It is very new right now” and Alia said, “It’s not a relationship. It’s a friendship. 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 its full form right now. He’s shooting continuously. So am I. It’s not a situation where you’ll see us constantly together. That’s the true mark of a comfortable relationship.”
Bonding With The Fam
Alia and Ranbir celebrated their New Year 2021 together along with their families and shared cute pics on their ‘Gram. While the actress shares a close bond with her beau’s mother, Neetu Kapoor, and his sister, Riddhima Kapoor, Alia’s mom, Soni Razdaan, is quite fond of Ranbir. The couple is often spotted attending each other’s family functions and we think it’s hella cute.
Vacays & Birthdays
We are in absolute love with Ranbir and Alia’s vacay pics. From enjoying Safaris in Jim Corbett to chilling in Udaipur’s palaces, the two always take out time from their professional lives to spend holidays together. They also share adorable birthday messages for each other on their social media handles and do not shy away from a little PDA.
Wedding Rumours
In 2020, the Rockstar actor set the internet ablaze by confessing to film critic, Rajeev Masand, that had it not been for the pandemic, they would have tied the knot already. From Ranbir calling his girlfriend an overachiever to Alia defending her beau after Karan Johar called him a gossip monger, the couple has set major #RelationshipGoals for their shippers.
Finally, It’s Happening
The waiting period has finally come to an end now. A source close to the couple revealed that Ranbir and Alia are all set to tie the knot on April 17 in RK Studio, Mumbai. They are opting for an intimate ceremony with only their close friends and family members in attendance. Interestingly, the actor is also hosting a bachelor’s party soon and it’s going to be a major star-studded affair.
NGL, Ranbir and Alia’s relationship has made us believe in fairytales and magic once again. We cannot wait for their wedding festivities to begin soon now.
