Alia Bhatt, one of Bollywood’s most popular and adored actors, is celebrating her 33rd birthday today. On this special occasion, the birthday girl is reportedly vacationing in Hong Kong with her husband Ranbir Kapoor and their daughter Raha. A cute video of the star couple walking around the streets, holding their darling daughter’s hands, recently went viral on social media. Well, as Alia celebrates her special day with her loved ones, let’s take a trip down memory lane and revisit a sweet memory from the birthday girl and her Prince Charming RK’s real-life fairytale romance — the surprise proposal.
In 2022, after dating for over 5 long years, Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt got married in an intimate ceremony at their Bandra home. The couple have always kept their personal life private. However, later that year on Karan Johar’s chat show, Alia revealed how RK proposed to her in Maasai Mara, Kenya. The actor shared, “In terms of Ranbir and his planning, he totally blew my mind away because I was not expecting it. We were not even talking about it. We were talking about it for a very long time but then there were so many pandemic delays, that we decided we won’t talk about it. We’ll just go with feeling. And that’s exactly what he did. He didn’t tell anyone. He just carried the ring and he did it in the most amazing place, Maasai Mara.”
She went on to share, “What I didn’t expect was that he planted our guide to take pictures also. So after everything was over, I was still dealing with the shock and I was emotional and he showed me pictures. And I was like, ‘You managed to take pictures’, because he knows how much pictures mean to me.” Revealing her Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani co-star Ranveer Singh’s reaction to the proposal picture, Alia shared, “I tell you the story when I showed him the pictures, He was like…Haww! (shocking reaction). He started crying.” Alia went on to add, “He had tears in his eyes.”
Not long after the wedding, Ranbir got busy with the promotions of his film Shamshera (2022). During the same, RK was asked how he kept the surprise proposal a secret. Hearing this, the actor told TOI, “It wasn’t difficult, just don’t tell anybody. I think it was a beautiful moment and just happened very naturally and organically.”
In November 2022, Alia and Ranbir welcomed their daughter Raha into the world. As the happy family celebrates Alia’s birthday in Hong Kong today, we wish them all the love and joy!
