In one such video, while the two were mobbed by the fans, Ranbir Kapoor protected his lady-love, Alia Bhatt like a chivalrous man and wrapped his hands around her while escorting her to the car. Take a look:
In an earlier interview with GQ, Ranbir had almost confirmed his relationship status with Alia Bhatt. He had said, "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. It’s new for us, so let it cook a bit."
Rishi Kapoor, Ranbir's father recently revealed the marriage plans of his son. Rishi ji was quoted as saying, “It’s Ranbir’s life. Who he wants to get married to is his prerogative. Neetu likes her, I like her, Ranbir likes her. Get it? I can’t be judgmental. After all, my uncles Shammiji and Shashiji and I chose our life partners. Ranbir is entitled to choose his.” (Don't Miss: Taimur Ali Khan And Kareena Kapoor Khan's 'Love In Paris' Photo Is Every Bit Cutesy And Unmissable)

Alia Bhatt's father's, Mahesh Bhatt recently shared, "Well, of course, they’re in love. You don’t need to be a genius to get that! I love Ranbir… he’s a great guy. What they do to their relationship is something they’ll have to figure out."
Mahesh ji further added, “Whether it’s heading towards that port called ‘marriage’ — which is an institution that needs to be questioned in the second decade of the 21st century — is something for them to figure out. I’m no one to hazard a guess when that would happen or which way the relationship is going. Its life and life needs to be lived on its own terms. Let’s wait and see what tomorrow brings for us!”
During the recent Gully Boy trailer launch, when a journalist asked Alia if she will hit a girl who tries to get closer to her boyfriend. a blushing Alia replied, "Abhi tak to nahi, par zindagi baki hai, par shayad kabhi nahi karungi kyunki I am non-violent.” However, she further added that in her head she might think about the same."
Ranbir spoke about Alia in a detailed interview with Hindustan Times. He said, “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 excited 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.” (Also Read: Hrithik Roshan Turns 45, Pinky Roshan Shares A Family Picture With Rakesh Roshan After Surgery)
