There is nothing greater or more profound in this world than bringing another life into it.”

There is no official word on when the baby is expected. “The couple married in a quick ceremony on April 14 after postponing their wedding from the previous September for unspecifie­d reasons. They decided to release their personal ‘brahmastra’ of Alia being pregnant only after the trailers of Brahmastra starring Ranbir and Alia and Shamshera starring Ranbir — were released,” says a source.
