Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt are celebrating their third wedding anniversary today. The couple tied the knot on April 14, 2022. Their romance has been a topic of interest for fans and media alike. Ranbir proposed to Alia in Masai Mara during a vacation, and she said yes. The couple now has a daughter, Raha.
A complicated past
Ranbir’s past relationships have been quite dramatic. He was dating Deepika Padukone when he met Katrina Kaif on the sets of ‘Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani’ in 2009. Katrina was allegedly in a relationship with Salman Khan at the time. As Ranbir and Katrina became close, their friendship blossomed into romance after Ranbir and Deepika broke up. Rumors also swirled that Katrina and Salman had parted ways.
For nearly six years, Ranbir and Katrina were inseparable, often attending parties, family events, and public gatherings together. There were whispers of a secret engagement in London, with plans to tie the knot in 2016. However, the couple surprised everyone by breaking up that same year.
A new chapter
Ranbir then began dating Alia Bhatt, who is 10 years younger than him. This sparked controversy, with some accusing Alia of stealing her best friend Katrina’s ex-boyfriend. Katrina eventually married Vicky Kaushal in December 2021, just four months before Ranbir and Alia’s wedding in April 2022.
When Katrina was dating Ranbir, she mentioned in an interview that her family was a crucial factor in her decision to get married. She felt she wasn’t as close to Ranbir’s family as she would have liked.
In 2019, after Ranbir had moved on to Alia, Katrina opened up about her friendship with Alia in an interview with Elle India. She stated that she didn’t hold grudges or feel animosity towards anyone, even when hurt. Katrina said she felt bad, cried, and felt devastated but always bounced back, believing that something better was on the horizon.
A friendly connection
Alia has also spoken about her relationships with Ranbir’s ex-girlfriends. On ‘Koffee with Karan 7’, when asked about being friends with her partner’s ex, Alia replied that she was close to both Katrina and Deepika. She said she knew how to maintain a friendly connection with her partner’s exes and loved them both.
Katrina and Alia’s bond may have been tested, but they seem to have moved on. The two women have shown that even in complicated situations, friendship and respect can prevail.
