Alia “Loves” Ranbir’s Exes Katrina and Deepika

MUMBAI (ANI) – Alia Bhatt, on the first episode of Karan Johar’s chat show, revealed that she is still friends with some of Ranbir Kapoor’s exes and they all love her.

Karan, in the quirky rapid-fire round with the actor, asked, “Which statement sums you up better? How to stay friends with an ex? Or how to stay friends with your partner’s ex?” After thinking for a while, the ‘Raazi’ actor replied, ” I think how to stay friends with your partner’s ex. I am very, very good friends with his exes. Yeah, and I love them both…And..the others, but I don’t know them.”

Before dating Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor was allegedly in a relationship with Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif for a very long time and the ‘Dear Zindagi’ actor shares a very healthy bond with Katrina, as they share posts with each other on occasions and will be working together in Farhan Akhtar’s next road-trip film ‘Jee Le Zara’.

She also spilled the beans on ‘Koffee with Karan’ season 7 about her and Ranbir Kapoor’s hush-hush proposal when the now husband and wife took a “New Year’s flight” together to Israel.

Alia, looking pretty in pink admitted that “it was not meant to happen” if they did not take the flight to Israel’s Tel Aviv on New Year. The ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’ actor opened that although her friends told her that she and Ranbir “were totally going to get together” she wanted the process to “happen naturally”.

“We both talked about it on our flight to Tel Aviv to do a workshop on Brahmastra. So, I remember him walking in and he was supposed to sit next to me. He sat next to me. Something got stuck in his seat, some malfunction was happening in his seat, so they were going to move him to another seat. And I was like, ‘Why is my dream getting shattered?” disclosed Alia.

“But then his seat got fixed, so he came and sat back. And then when we exchanged notes.” added Alia before going to explain that Ranbir was quite irritated that the seat had to “break down at that moment” when the duo was seated together “nicely”.

The newlywed Alia further said that the “vibe” between her and Ranbir “started from there only”, remarking that the rest “was history”, flashing her smile.

Blushing on the show, Alia further revealed how Ranbir had planned to propose to the ‘Raazi’ actor who absolutely blew away her mind, in a place that the star couple had a “strong connection with”. Both Ranbir and Alia agreed to just “go with the feeling”

“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 because it’s a place that we both have a strong connection with, which is Masai Mara. And in the middle of the jungle, it was just amazing,” confessed Alia.

However, after the proposal Alia got the surprise of her life when Ranbir “managed to take pictures” of the whole act, especially knowing Alia’s love for pictures.

“What I didn’t expect was he had planned our guide to take the pictures also. So, after everything was over, I was still dealing with the shock, and I was so emotional. He took pictures and I was like, ‘You managed to take pictures?’ Because he knows how much pictures mean to me. It was too special,” confessed Alia with a smile.
