More details
In the same interview, Ranbir had shared that Alia made a conscious attempt to lower her loud tone for him as he was rattled by his father Rishi Kapoor‘s loud tone, growing up. He also said that Alia’s attention is a little fragmented, but over the years, he’s got her attention now.
Ranbir and Alia started dating during the pre-production of Ayan Mukerji‘s 2022 blockbuster fantasy film Brahmastra: Part One – Shiva. The two tied the knot on April 14, 2022, at their Mumbai residence. They also became parents to daughter Raha Kapoor later that year. They will reunite on screen for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s next, titled Love and War. The film also stars Vicky Kaushal.
