Years before they tied the knot, Alia Bhatt told Ranbir Kapoor what kind of man she’d never marry: ‘I’ve never been in love’

Alia Bhatt made it clear that she wouldn't think too highly of a man if he married her on the condition that she stop acting.

Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor tied the knot in 2022.

Both Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor had breakthrough roles in films directed by Imtiaz Ali. While Ranbir starred in the musical drama Rockstar, Alia proved her worth in the film Highway. She was only one movie old at the time, and many in the industry hadn’t taken her seriously after Student of the Year, her debut film, directed by Karan Johar. In a promotional interaction with her director Imtiaz Ali and Ranbir, Alia discussed what love means to her, and revealed what kind of man she’d never consider marrying. Alia, who turned 32 on Saturday, tied the knot with Ranbir around a decade after this interaction.

During the chat, Imtiaz appeared to come up with the premise of a movie for the two of them, a movie about a man with a mysterious past and a vibrant girl. “It’s like this guy isn’t used to being good to people, and this girl demands that people are good,” he said, leaving them both impressed.

Turning to Alia, Ranbir asked, “What’s your take on love? Right now, you’re one of those girls who’s like, ‘My career is the most important’…” Alia interrupted him, and said that she has never made this claim. “I’ve never been in love before,” she said. Ranbir continued, “Would you get married to somebody who didn’t want you to act?” Alia didn’t take a second to reply, “No.”

She explained, “I probably won’t act all my life, but I want to act for as long as I want. And if someone doesn’t want that for me, then you don’t want me. You want somebody else, and that person isn’t here, sorry.” Alia and Ranbir tied the knot in 2022, and welcomed their daughter, Raha, later that same year.

They worked together for the first time in Ayan Mukerji’s Brahmastra. Ranbir said at a press interaction this week that Ayan will begin working on the sequel after fulfilling his commitments to War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR. Ranbir was last seen in Animal, while Alia last starred in Jigra. They are currently filming Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love and War, also starring Vicky Kaushal.
