Have you had a childhood crush? We know that feeling. If Aliaa Bhatt and we have one thing in common, it’s the way we look at Ranbir Kapoor with love and admiration. After loving each other unconditionally for five years, the couple tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at their favorite spot in the presence of their kith and kin.
A love story with hope. A love story that makes us believe in the power of manifestation. A love story that makes us believe in fairytales. We remember that first-time Aliaa Bhatt adorably confessed her love for Ranbir Kapoor on national television. We remember how beautifully her confession made us all feel the love.
The moments they had with each other on their balcony, their Bollywood moments, the way they saw each other and captured the beauty with utmost love in their eyes – these are just a few examples of how they became our couple’s goals. Let’s talk about how the couple gave a persona to their simple wedding look with so much grace and poise.
From their Mehendi ceremony to the nuptials, Aliaa Bhatt set the standards high for brides around the globe with her minimal yet charming makeup. She opted for an ivory organza saree with tilla work – her bridal outfit was an inspiration for all the brides-to-be who want their wedding outfit to be light as air.
Ditching the traditional pheras ceremony, Aliaa Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor opted for a special pandit and took only four pheras instead of seven. Instead of a grand reception, they chose to get married on the balcony of their apartment in Vastu residence, in Pali Hill Bandra- where they spent their best moments together for five years.
The power of manifestation – their love story
While we had our evening Chai, we sat there discussing what was so intriguing about their wedding. After analyzing everything, we finished our cup of Chai also, and we concluded that the thing that kept us on our toes was their secrecy throughout their relationship. Looking at them donning their looks as newlyweds brought tears into our eyes.
Alia first felt butterflies for her future spouse when she was 11 years old. She’d gone to an audition for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Black, on which Ranbir was an associate director. She felt an instant attraction to him, although it was only a crush at the moment.
When Karan Johar asked Alia about the three guys from the business she would want to compete in her swayamvar, she didn’t even pause before naming Ranbir. When asked about the actor she’d like to have a hot scene with, the only name she could think of was her childhood crush – Ranbir Kapoor.
The famous director Ayan Mukherji also played the role of cupid in Ranbir and Alia’s life as it was on the sets of Brahmastra where the couple got together. After Ranbir and Alia were getting close during the filming of Brahmastra, rumors of them seeing each other began to circulate. They never confirmed nor denied the allegations, but they astonished everyone by making their relationship public at Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja’s wedding. They made their first appearance as a couple at their wedding, and there hasn’t been a single occasion since then where they haven’t made an appearance together.
Soon after Sonam’s wedding, the duo began discussing each other in the media, revealing their connection. It was a full-circle moment of love and manifestation when Aliaa Bhatt made an appearance in the latest season of Koffee with Karan. The flush on Alia’s cheeks in that episode just represented how much she adored Ranbir at the moment, and that affection has only gotten stronger with time. In this interview, we all learned how serious Aliaa was about this romance, and we all knew that the couple was going to get married shortly. When Ranbir’s father, Rishi Kapoor, died two years ago, Aliaa stayed at his side all the time. They have been a constant part of one other’s life. While the Bhatts are awestruck by Ranbir, Alia has become a fixture at all Kapoor family events.
Their love story flourished before our eyes, so we feel a connection to them. These two are soulmates created for each other, as they have often demonstrated. Just like Alia stated in an interview that she is already married to Ranbir in her mind, we see them as a unit. This wedding is just a celebration of their union, and we can’t wait to share it with them, even if only via the fourth wall.
Seeing them have the new beginnings of their dreams only left a huge smile on our faces. Wishing them a happily ever after!
