Alia Bhatt, who is known for her fashion statements, picked up a short blue Prabal Gurung dress which she wore with white booties. (Source: Photo by Varinder Chawla)
Siddharth and Alia made for the perfect awesome twosome pair. They whispered sweet nothing into each others ears, looked into each other's eyes and did everything that a much in love couple would do except that they announced they wouldn't be together on Valentine's day. We don't exactly buy that. (Source: Photo by Varinder Chawla)
Alia Bhatt loves her fans and never says no to photo requests. The actress was beseeched by a young fan outside the venue with a selfie request and Alia was only too happy to oblige. (Source: Photo by Varinder Chawla)

Sidharth and Fawad play brothers in the movie. At the press meet. Sid looked to be the more playful from the lot while Fawad maintained his grim look save for that one occasion when blinding flashlights of the cameras forced him to smile and say, 'Baat toh karne do yaar.'

Karan Johar absolutely dotes on Alia like his own daughter. The filmmaker even joked that Alia would be the owner of his wealth after he leaves the mortal world. Before the trailer launch, the mentor and his Student were seen sharing a happy moment. (Source: Photo by Varinder Chawla)
Alia is quite a delight when it comes to photo-ops. While the men were their cool and composed selves, Alia had a few antics up her sleeves while posing for the sea of cameras. Here she is seen doing a tongue out pose. (Source: Photo by Varinder Chawla)
This is the first time Alia will be seen romancing the uber hot Fawad. The actress even shares a kiss with him in the movie. We are sure she had a whale of a time romancing two hot men on screen. When asked who she ends up with in the movie, Alia said, 'Wait and watch.' Here she is seen posing with her two co-stars. (Source: Photo by Varinder Chawla)
The press meet saw Sidharth, Alia and Fawad fielding maximum questions. Ratna Pathak Shah and Rajat Kapoor who play husband and wife in the film were all smiles and the former even chided Fawad Khan for calling her a veteran actress. (Source: Photo by Varinder Chawla)
Alia was her chirpy self during the entire press meet and indulged in a lot of leg pulling of both her co-stars. When asked who she would take out as a date for Valentine's, the actress said she would shooting for Gauri Shinde's film and the director would be her Valentine. (Source: Photo by Varinder Chawla)
Fawad was quite the cynosure of all eyes yesterday. Karan Johar introduced him as the actor who his mother (Hiroo) absolutely loves, a comment that made Fawad blush. The Pakistani actor who feels at home today in India said that he remains unperturbed by the political turbulence between India and Pakistan and has only received love in India. The handsome actor also appeared shy when asked about his Valentine Day plans. Here seen in conversation with Fox CEO, Vijay Singh. (Source: Photo by Varinder Chawla)
A fan unexpectedly stood up in the middle of the press meet and told Alia that he wanted to gift her a cadbury as a token of his love for her. Alia invited him on stage and the fan went down on his knees while gifting her the cadbury. How sweet! (Source: Photo by Varinder Chawla)
Rajat Kapoor and Ratna Pathak Shah play husband and wife in the film. The senior actors share a love-hate relation in the film but off it their camaraderie was a delight to watch. (Source: Photo by Varinder Chawla)
It was good to see Rajat Kapoor back into the thick of action after long. The actor-director is not seen in Bollywood films much and it came as a whiff of fresh air to see him in a significant role in Kapoor & Sons. Here he is seen sharing a light moment with Sidharth, his onscreen son. (Source: Photo by Varinder Chawla)
Karan looked happy in his avatar as the producer and smiled all through the press meet save for that one moment when Rishi Kapoor left. The filmmaker announced right at the very start that he would be moderating the meet and was his usual spontaneous self cracking jokes and taking a dig at his own unflattering debut as an actor in Bombay Velvet. Here he is seen obliging a young fan with a selfie. (Source: Photo by Varinder Chawla)
Rishi Kapoor's exit made more news than his entry. The actor who plays the ageing Kapoor patriarch walked out in a jiffy just after the launch of the trailer. While some whispers suggested that he was perhaps not happy with the trailer, speculations were also rife that he didn't want to face the media fearing the prospect of answering questions on Ranbir and Katrina.

The entire cast and crew on stage looked jolly answering questions relating to their film and roles. The only one person missing from the picture was Rishi Kapoor who made an unceremonious exit before the start of the press conference. (Source: Photo by Varinder Chawla)
