RANBIR-ALIA ARE MARRIED
Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt tied the knot in an intimate ceremony on Thursday in Mumbai
Actor Priyanka Chopra Jonas and singer-actor Nick Jonas welcomed their first child, a daughter, via surrogacy, in January this year. First time, since the birth, Priyanka has opened up about the newborn and what all goes through her mind as a “new parent”. During a chat with comedian and talk show host Lilly Singh, she said, “I keep thinking about that I will never be imposing my desires, fears, my upbringing on to my child.”
The 39-year-old also talked about her own parents and what type of mum she wants to be for her daughter: “I have always believed that children come through you not from you. There is no belief like this is my child and I will shape everything. They come through you to find and build their own life. Recognising that really helped me, my parents were very non-judgemental in a certain way.”
Meanwhile, on the work front, Priyanka has several projects lined up. She has recently signed Ending Things opposite Anthony Mackie, and has Farhan Akhtar’s Bollywood film Jee Le Zaraa in her kitty. She has wrapped up shooting for Text For You and the web series, Citadel.
Actor Alia Bhatt finally got married to her childhood crush, actor Ranbir Kapoor, on Thursday in Mumbai at Ranbir’s residence, Vastu. The afternoon wedding was an intimate affair with only their closest friends and family members in attendance.
Ranbir’s family — mum Neetu Kapoor and sister Riddhima Kapoor Sahni — arrived in style, wearing designer Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla outfits.
Team bride comprised family members — parents Mahesh Bhatt and Soni Razdan, sisters Shaheen Bhatt and Pooja Bhatt — as well as
Alia’s BFF Akansha Ranjan Kapoor.
Ranbir’s uncle, Randhir Kapoor, told us that the family was “happy that Alia-Ranbir got married” but added that everyone was missing his late brother and Ranbir’s dad, Rishi Kapoor, on the occasion. “We missed Chintu (Rishi Kapoor); he should have been here. But life must go on.”
Alia’s team distributed sweets to the media present at the venue, but the security incharge, Yusuf, admitted that their work was made quite difficult by the paps
around. Security forces even made a human chain and used the help of local police officers to escort celebs flocking to the venue.
The couple’s pre-wedding festivities took place at Vastu on Wednesday, and we exclusively learnt from choreographer Rajendra Singh aka Masterji that the Kapoor khandaan surprised the couple with a dance performance on songs such as Mehendi Hai Rachne Waali, Dholida, Tenu Leke Main Jawaanga, etc. He said the wedding was a “very
private affair, and no more than 30 to 35 people were present”.
Furthermore, our sources revealed that Alia didn’t opt for an elaborate bridal mehendi, but instead got a minimal and simple design. “She also got an R (Ranbir’s initial) and an 8 (his football jersey number) included in her mehendi design,” informed the source. Her mehendi was done by Chembur-based artist Jyoti Chheda.
