Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor were dating each other for almost five years before they decided to tie the knot. Soon after, they became parents to a baby girl who they named Raha. In a recent interview, Alia opened up on her bonding with Ranbir Kapoor. She also spoke about how is Ranbir and Raha’s bond, recalling the time when her father Mahesh Bhatt first met Ranbir. Talking about her first conversation with Mahesh Bhatt about Ranbir, Alia said on Twinkle Khanna and Kajol’s show ‘Too Much’, “My father and I talked about me being in love once. That was the one and only time we spoke. I told him I’m in love and he said, ‘I see it in your eyes, my child.’”

Recalling Bhatt’s first meeting with Ranbir, Alia said, “He (Mahesh Bhatt) was once dropping me to Ranbir’s home, and he said, ‘Call him down. I want to meet him.’ And then Ranbir came down, and he did this to him… (Alia imitated Mahesh Bhatt by putting her hand on Ranbir’s head and also showed how Ranbir bowed down with his hands folded).’ That was the moment, there was no advice, he just saw it in our eyes and he was really happy for us.” While Alia admitted that Mahesh Bhatt was quite cool about it, Ranbir will not be that way as a father if Raha introduces him to any boy in the future when she grows up. Alia said, “I can’t imagine that happening today with Ranbir and Raha, he will be kicking any boy that comes to the house.” On work front, Ranbir and Alia will be sharing screen space again in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Love And War’. The duo had worked together on ‘Brahmastra’ and that’s when they also fell in love.
