Alia Bhatt recalls Ranbir Kapoor bowing to father-in-law Mahesh Bhatt on first meeting; says he will ‘kick out every boy’ who approaches daughter Raha

When asked if their relationship has changed with time, Alia responded, “It has changed after we have had a daughter. It’s totally different. We are a unit now. It’s way more a unit than before.”

During the conversation, Alia also recalled the time she first spoke to her father, filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, about her relationship with Ranbir. She revealed that he never gave her any advice about it but reassured her in his own unique way. She said, “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.’”

She further shared how Ranbir and Mahesh Bhatt met for the first time. Alia recalled, “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).’” She explained, “That was the moment, there was no advice, he just saw it in our eyes and he was really happy for us.”

Alia also joked about how Ranbir would never be this easy-going when it comes to their daughter Raha. She said, “I can’t imagine that happening today with Ranbir and Raha, he will be kicking any boy that comes to the house.”
