Ranbir Kapoor recently shared how his wife Alia Bhatt has transformed since their marriage, including her deliberate effort to modify her loud tone
Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt are one of Bollywood’s most loved couples. After several years of dating, they tied the knot on April 19, 2022, in a private ceremony. They welcomed their beautiful daughter on November 6, 2022. Despite their busy schedules, Ranbir and Alia are often seen enjoying quality time with their daughter.
Alia has previously spoken about how Ranbir has beautifully embraced fatherhood and managed responsibilities when she is busy. In a recent interview with Zerodha founder Nikhil Kamath, Ranbir opened up about his marriage with Alia Bhatt and how they have been adjusting to each other’s lives. The ‘Animal’ actor admitted that Alia has made more changes than him in the marriage. Ranbir mentioned that Alia is letting go of her personality to adjust to the marriage. He stated, “Especially when you’re in a marriage, you have to let go of your personality. She’s also letting go of her personality. We’re adjusting to each other trying to make it liveable for each other. Any marriage is doing that. You have to let go, you have to adjust, you have to sacrifice facets of it. Because it’s impossible for two people to like each other the way they are.”
Ranbir revealed, “She used to speak in a very loud tone. My father’s tone growing up always rattled me, so she made a real effort to change that. It’s not easy when you’ve spent 30 years speaking a certain way. She instinctively reacts strongly, like when Raha falls down, and that sometimes throws me off. She takes steps to make me feel more at ease. I wish I could say I’ve done something to make her feel the same, but I don’t think I’ve managed that yet.”
Ranbir Kapoor on His Parent’s Relationship and Childhood trauma
Ranbir Kapoor opened up about his childhood, sharing that his mother, Neetu Kapoor, became his confidante during those turbulent times. “My mother used to talk about her feelings to me. But my father wasn’t that expressive. I never understood or heard his point of view,” Ranbir said, highlighting the emotional isolation he felt.
Despite the fear and distance, Ranbir acknowledged his father’s deep love for his family. “I believe my father was a short-tempered man, but he was a good man. He was somebody who loved his family, work, food, and alcohol. He was a very open person. He could speak up his mind,” he said, capturing the complexity of Rishi’s character.
A significant turning point came when Rishi was diagnosed with cancer. Ranbir witnessed a transformation in his parents’ relationship as his mother devoted herself to caring for his ailing father. “I saw the selfless service my mother was doing for him, and that kind of love was something which I probably at that time couldn’t have imagined,” Ranbir reflected, acknowledging the profound impact of their renewed bond.
Mutual Adjustments in Ranbir-Alia’s Marriage
Ranbir emphasized the necessity of compromise in marriage, noting that both partners must let go of parts of their personalities to accommodate each other. “In any marriage, adjustments and sacrifices are essential for mutual happiness,” he stated.
He admitted that while Alia has made more changes for him, he still feels he hasn’t done enough to reciprocate fully. Ranbir described Alia as an “overachiever” and “very passionate about work.” He expressed admiration for her dedication and the efforts she puts into balancing their relationship with her career.
Ranbir-Alia’s Upcoming Movies
Both actors are busy with exciting upcoming projects. Ranbir Kapoor is currently preparing for Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana, where he will portray Ram. Alia Bhatt, on the other hand, is gearing up for the release of her film Jigra. Additionally, the couple will be seen together in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War alongside Vicky Kaushal.
