Secret To Alia Bhat And Ranbir Kapoor’s Loving Marriage

Being Better Together

Alia and Ranbir have their careers and respect each other’s space but at the same time, the two cannot do without each other and rely on each other. Like Alia said, “In any relationship, after a while, there comes a time when you complete each other. I think the best part about our relationship is that separately we are okay, but together, we are better.” 

Ranbir too admits that he is very dependent on Alia and needs her around all the time. In an interview with Navbharat Times, Ranbir said, “I boast a lot that I am a very independent person and I am detached but I am very dependent on Alia. I don’t go to the bathroom or eat food without knowing where she is. It is very important for me that Alia stays near me.”

Being Best Friends

The two share a wonderful equation as best friends do. Alia considers Ranbir her best friend and says that hasn’t changed even after marriage. In an interview, she said, “Ranbir is my best friend, so after marriage, nothing has changed between us. He is the same person.” 

They love doing things together, and they know each other well inside out and also inspire each other to do better in their careers.

Loving Each Other’s Families

It is said that when you marry someone, you marry their entire family and that stands true in Alia and Ranbir’s case. The two have always been there for each other’s families. Alia shared a warm bond with Ranbir Kapoor’s late father, Rishi Kapoor. While the whole family was dealing with his illness, Alia stood by Ranbir’s family and was there for his mum to support her during the emotionally tough times. 

Maintaining A Work-Life Balance

Both Alia and Ranbir believe that it is important to have a work-life balance. They believe in taking time off work to spend time with themselves and their family. In an interview with Indian Express, Ranbir said, “We have to somewhere plan out a balanced life where we both can enjoy our personal life and our professional life, so it is one day at a time, one step at a time, but I have a lot of expectations from it.” 

Supporting Each Other

Most new mums give up their dreams and careers once they have a baby as they are expected to be the nurturer but Ranbir Kapoor thinks otherwise. He does not want Alia to give up her career or her dreams and supports her just like she supports him. During his film Shamshera’s promotions, Ranbir spoke to BabyChakra and said, “We grew up in a generation where our fathers were quite busy with work and were not around us, so more or less we’ve been brought up by our mothers, so we were close to our mothers. I want to have a different dynamic with my children, I want them to be close to me also.”  

Sharing Responsibilities 

They believe in sharing responsibilities as husband and wife and as parents. Ranbir Kapoor said that since both he and Alia are working, they have decided to take parenting responsibilities equally. He said, “We will balance it out. When she takes work probably I’ll take a break. When I take work, she will take a break.” 

Alia and Ranbir already have their 50-year-old anniversary planned! During the rapid-fire round in Koffee With Karan, Ranveer was asked what their 50th anniversary could possibly look like, to which he replied with an image that they would “spend some quality time silently in the balcony. Then they will go to the TV room and watch some content on OTT. Then have dinner. Cuddle, go to sleep. And go to work the next morning.”

Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor’s loving marriage prove that marriage may not always be easy and like anything, it comes with changes. Once the honeymoon phase of a relationship starts fading, it’s important to stabilise the marriage with friendship, respect, common goals and being emotionally available for each other. Even more important is to prioritise it, and keep the romance alive by spending quality time together, being patient with each other, going on date nights, and doing lil things like cuddling and watching movies and shows, etc.
