Love story sealed by fate! Did you know Alia Bhatt met Ranbir Kapoor for the first time when she was just 9 years old?
The 'Jigra' actress
Alia Bhatt
has gone viral once again, this time with an old clip from a show where the actress can be seen sweetly talking about her love story with fellow actor
Ranbir Kapoor
and how he made the first move in their relationship.
The duo at the time had been on regular schedules together for the promotion of their film 'Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva'.
Alia Bhatt shares how her relationship with Ranbir Kapoor happened naturally
An old video has gone viral yet again for the adorable moment when Alia talked about meeting Ranbir. In the old episode of 'Koffee with Karan,' Alia Bhatt talked about her relationship with Ranbir Kapoor, specifically how it all started in the first place. She shared that 'When I saw Ranbir first time onscreen, I was like, 'Something is there, some connection is there, I love this person.'
Obviously, I saw him before he saw me properly.
But then we kept meeting and all as friends, socially and all – nothing, not even friends. But then this one flight to Brahmāstra prep, he started flirting.'

In another older interview with India Today in 2022, the actress had also talked about how she wanted to be with Ranbir ever since she saw him as a child. She had added that 'When I saw him for the first time on screen, that was the day I decided that I wanted to marry him.

That was when I was a sweet little girl. But that's what I meant, and I feel it's a state of mind.'
Ranbir on how he met Alia Bhatt for the first time
Not only has Alia talked about her beloved husband on multiple occasions, but even Ranbir cannot stop himself from talking about his wife and praising her. On a podcast episode with Nikhil Kamath last year, he talked about how he saw Alia Bhatt for the first time and how the two had almost ended up together in a film when he was in his 20s, while Alia was just 9 years old. In the interview, he shared how
Sanjay Leela Bhansali
wanted to make a film titled 'Balika Vadhu' on child marriage.
He shared that 'The first time I met Alia was when she was 9 years old and I was 20 years old, and we did a photoshoot together because Sanjay Leela Bhansali wanted to make a film called 'Balika Vadhu' about child marriage. That's the first time I met her. It seems a little weird now to say."
Ranbir Kapoor: 'Alia was special'
In the same interview, Ranbir Kapoor got a little more candid about Alia Bhatt and what she means to him. He shared, 'Alia was somebody I met over the years and thought this person is special.
I have immense respect for her as an actor, artist, person, daughter, and sister. She really makes me smile. I love going on a holiday with her, but I also love to be home with her.'
More on Ranbir and Alia's life story
The couple officially tied the knot and ended up getting married to one another in a grand and royal wedding on April 14, 2022. They also have a little daughter, Raha. The couple has so far worked together on one film, 'Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva', and will now be seen in 'Love and War' together alongside the likes of Vicky Kaushal,
Mouni Roy
and Deepika Padukone.
Currently Alia Bhatt is attending the Cannes Film Festival and has taken the crowd by storm with her glamorous and elegant fashion statements on the red carpet of the festival.

Did Caleb Williams and Madelyn Cline just meet or have they been hanging out quietly for a while?
Mandatory Credit: Daniel Bartel-Imagn Images So here's the scene: Caleb Williams , the Bears' No. 1 overall pick, was caught on video dancing with Madelyn Cline , Netflix's 'It Girl' from Outer Banks , at Summer Smash in Illinois. And no, this wasn't a blink-and-you-miss-it cameo. The clip showed them clearly vibing together, and fans instantly went into FBI mode. But here's the real question: Was this a random run-in, or have Caleb and Madelyn been hanging out behind the scenes? Let's dig in. There's no public history between the two but that doesn't mean there's nothing there So far, there's no evidence of Caleb and Madelyn hanging out before Summer Smash. No tagged photos. No interviews. Not even a shared follower moment on Instagram (yet). This seems to be the first time they've been seen in the same frame, period. Caleb has kept his personal life pretty low-key since going pro, but he was last publicly linked to Alina Thyregod, a rumored girlfriend from his USC days. Madelyn, on the other hand, has had a few high-profile relationships, most notably with Pete Davidson in 2023–2024 and Jackson Guthy before that. Neither connection seems to cross paths with Caleb's world until now. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Sanomentology, A New Way of Thinking Sanomentology Learn More Undo So how did they end up dancing together at Summer Smash? Here's what makes it interesting: Summer Smash isn't a Hollywood or NFL event, it's a Gen Z hotspot. Artists like GloRilla, Metro Boomin, and Trippie Redd all performed, and the crowd is full of influencers, athletes, and low-key celebs. Caleb, who's already branded as one of the NFL's most stylish, social-savvy rookies, clearly fits in that scene. And Madelyn? She's no stranger to music festivals either. They could've easily bumped into each other backstage or through a mutual friend. Still, there's no indication this moment was pre-planned. No red carpet together. No soft-launch IG likes. Just one viral clip of them dancing and that was enough to break the internet. Fans are spiraling with theories but nothing's confirmed Of course, once the clip hit social media, fan theories exploded but beyond the clip, neither Caleb nor Madelyn has said a word. No stories. No clarifications. Just total silence. Right now, this looks like one of those festival flings that may or may not lead to anything. It could've been two celebs just catching a vibe and moving on. But with Caleb Williams stepping into the national spotlight and Madelyn Cline being one of the most followed Netflix stars, even a short dance is enough to set off alarms. And honestly? Whether it's just friends or the start of something, it already has everyone watching.

Gaurav Chopra on his camaraderie with Pushpa Impossible co-star Karuna Pandey; says ‘We bonded over a chai vs coffee debate'
Television's beloved Gaurav Chopra has made a much-awaited return to the small screen, stepping into the role of Professor Rajveer Shastri in Pushpa Impossible. His entry as Pushpa's law professor marks a pivotal shift in the story. But while the on-screen dynamic between Pushpa and Rajveer is tense and layered, the off-screen camaraderie between Gaurav and Karuna Pandey is lighthearted, spontaneous, and full of laughter. Karuna, who leads the show as Pushpa, opened up about their surprising off-screen bond. 'From the very first phone call, there was this unexpected ease between us, a warmth that just carried into our scenes. We're two very different personalities, but there's a strange sync in how we approach our craft,' she said. She continued, 'He's deeply sincere, incredibly instinctive, and so thoughtful in the way he performs. What I really enjoy is how we balance intensity with laughter. Rajveer is such a complex, brooding character, but between takes, we're often laughing our heads off or pulling each other's leg. There's an ease, a rhythm, and above all, a shared passion for acting that both of us have, and I think that's what the audience is connecting with. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Mini House for 60 sqm for Seniors with Toilet and Bath (Click Here) Pre Fabricated Homes | Search Ads Search Now Undo ' Gaurav also shared how joining a long-running show came with its own set of challenges and surprises. 'It's a challenge to walk into a show when it's already running successfully for three years. The tone is set, the audience is connected, and then you arrive to shake things up.' Speaking about their quirky bond, he revealed, 'Even before I stepped on set, Karuna ji sent me regards through the team. And believe it or not, we actually bonded over a chai vs. coffee debate on set, which got intense! Karuna ji is a die-hard chai lover, and I'm all about my black coffee. What started as playful banter turned into this hilarious debate with the entire crew picking sides.' He added, 'It's moments like these that build an effortless comfort between us, and you'll see that chemistry translates beautifully on screen.'
