Alia Bhatt Knew She 'Loved' Ranbir Kapoor Even Before Meeting Him: 'Some Connection...'
Alia Bhatt has always been vocal about her love for Ranbir Kapoor, even before they became one of Bollywood's most-loved couples. From candid interviews to talk show appearances, she often spoke about her crush on the heartthrob actor. So when they tied the knot in a dreamy ceremony in 2022, in an intimate ceremony at their Mumbai home (Vastu in Pali Hill), it felt like a fairytale come true. But what many fans might not know is that it was Ranbir who made the first move in what would become a five-year journey of love, eventually leading to marriage and parenthood.
While promoting their fantasy epic Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva, Ranbir shared how fate had first brought them together years ago. In a video clip now going viral, Ranbir said, 'Actually nobody knows this, but Mr Sanjay Leela Bhansali had done a small photo shoot, because at one point he wanted to make a film called Balika Vadhu. That time I was his assistant and I was around 20 years old and she was 9 years old. And we did a photo shoot together."

Bigg Boss OTT 2 Winner Elvish Yadav Is ‘Openly Crushing' On Alia Bhatt
Last Updated: Elvish Yadav had once said he wanted to marry Alia Bhatt. He has long been vocal about his admiration for the actress. From winning Bigg Boss OTT Season 2 to his stint on Roadies XX, Siddharth ' Elvish" Yadav is undoubtedly ruling over the hearts of millions. If that wasn't enough, he also runs two successful YouTube channels—his daily vlog, which he started in 2016 and Elvish Yadav Gaming, launched in 2023. Elvish has always been candid about all aspects of his life, and this includes his huge crush on Alia Bhatt. Yes, you heard that right. In a recent interview, Elvish once again openly spoke about his admiration for Alia. When asked about his feelings for the actress, he told TOI, 'I've been openly crushing on Alia Bhatt. I like her." This isn't the first time the YouTuber has spoken about his feelings for Alia Bhatt. Earlier this year, during a podcast with Pratik Sehajpal, Elvish once again expressed his admiration for the Gangubai Kathiawadi star. When Pratik said, 'Mujhe Alia Bhatt achchi lagti hai, woh ek achchi actor hai (I like Alia Bhatt, she is a good actor)." Elvish immediately responded, 'Mujhe bhi bhai, ab toh shaadi hogayi, bachcha bhi hogaya (Even me a brother, but now she is married and has a kid)." Pratik replied, 'Usse kya farak padhta hai bhaiya? Hame kaunsa usse shaadi karni thi. Woh toh actress achchi hai (What difference does it make? It's not like we wanted to marry her. I am just saying she is a good actress)." Elvish had a response ready. 'Mujhe toh karni thi (shaadi), par ab uski hogayi. Kyu ched diya humne yeh topic? Sorry, Ranbir Bhai. (I wanted to tie the knot with her, but now she is married. Why did we take this topic? Sorry, Ranbir.)" Moving on to his stint on Roadies XX, Elvish opened up about his experience as a first-time gang leader. Elvish shared, 'My journey as a gang leader on Roadies XX was amazing. Initially, I didn't know what to do or how to play, but my fellow gang leaders helped me, and I learnt a lot from them. I came on the show only for the love audience and didn't expect to win. However, now that I've won, it feels amazing." Speaking about Kushal Tanwar aka Gullu from his team, who won Roadies XX, Elvish said,'Gullu didn't get many chances on the show. He was evicted once and later came back as a wildcard entry. But he gave his best whenever he got an opportunity. I truly believe he's a deserving winner." Elvish has also been making headlines for his appearance on Laughter Chef 2. According to reports, the show may go off-air by mid-July, although there is no official confirmation yet. First Published:
