The 'Jigra' actress
Alia Bhatt
has gone viral once again, this time with an old clip from a show where the actress can be seen sweetly talking about her love story with fellow actor
Ranbir Kapoor
and how he made the first move in their relationship.
The duo at the time had been on regular schedules together for the promotion of their film 'Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva'.
Alia Bhatt shares how her relationship with Ranbir Kapoor happened naturally
An old video has gone viral yet again for the adorable moment when Alia talked about meeting Ranbir. In the old episode of 'Koffee with Karan,' Alia Bhatt talked about her relationship with Ranbir Kapoor, specifically how it all started in the first place. She shared that 'When I saw Ranbir first time onscreen, I was like, 'Something is there, some connection is there, I love this person.'
Obviously, I saw him before he saw me properly.
But then we kept meeting and all as friends, socially and all – nothing, not even friends. But then this one flight to Brahmāstra prep, he started flirting.'

In another older interview with India Today in 2022, the actress had also talked about how she wanted to be with Ranbir ever since she saw him as a child. She had added that 'When I saw him for the first time on screen, that was the day I decided that I wanted to marry him.

That was when I was a sweet little girl. But that's what I meant, and I feel it's a state of mind.'
Ranbir on how he met Alia Bhatt for the first time
Not only has Alia talked about her beloved husband on multiple occasions, but even Ranbir cannot stop himself from talking about his wife and praising her. On a podcast episode with Nikhil Kamath last year, he talked about how he saw Alia Bhatt for the first time and how the two had almost ended up together in a film when he was in his 20s, while Alia was just 9 years old. In the interview, he shared how
Sanjay Leela Bhansali
wanted to make a film titled 'Balika Vadhu' on child marriage.
He shared that '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."
Ranbir Kapoor: 'Alia was special'
In the same interview, Ranbir Kapoor got a little more candid about Alia Bhatt and what she means to him. He shared, '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.'
More on Ranbir and Alia's life story
The couple officially tied the knot and ended up getting married to one another in a grand and royal wedding on April 14, 2022. They also have a little daughter, Raha. The couple has so far worked together on one film, 'Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva', and will now be seen in 'Love and War' together alongside the likes of Vicky Kaushal,
Mouni Roy
and Deepika Padukone.
Currently Alia Bhatt is attending the Cannes Film Festival and has taken the crowd by storm with her glamorous and elegant fashion statements on the red carpet of the festival.
