The blind item below is the second one today about this couple. Can we call them a couple? What else can be said that has not been said in the other blind item?
Isn’t it strange how they keep on making an effort to appear in public together? KebabJo must have told her it will be good for their careers! Why else would he go to a public event with her, but didn’t bother to show up with his ex when he was dating her? This all happened too fast and it is going to come crashing down as fast as it went up.
We are sure KebabJo will pick another one of his young girls to hop on the train. As creepy as it sounds, this seems to be KebabJo’s side business now!
Check out the blind item from Mumbai Mirror.
Bollywood Blind Item
WE must declare our fingers have gone blue typing out the antics of this well-known actor. While his films may not be blockbusters, his raw talent has seen him sustain his popular image in the industry. That, and his chequered love life. Even though he claims to be madly in love with an industry sweetheart, the talk is that he does not treat her right.
Now, we hear, he is seeking temporary comfort in the arms of another beauty, his co-star in an upcoming film. Well, you know what they say about the leopard and his spots.
OSOP Guesses
Actor: Ranbir Kapoor
Actress: Alia Bhatt
The comment thread on here is soo interesting to read! You guys are awesome, I really can’t with PV these days. I saw the Viral Gully Boy screening video and Deepika and Ranveer’s entrance was.. something else. They are obviously made for each other, both are very “showy” to the point where I don’t know if they’re living their lives for themselves or for us.
I think you all are right that Ranbir can sense the disinterest in his relationship from fans and although he probably likes Alia, the fact that he’s kind of being made fun of right now is agitating him. He’s your typical kind of guy that want’s the “hottest” girl by his side and then he loses interest and gets a bit depressed (like Justin Bieber). I think he might actually be a little bit depressed, which is why he always has this hooded, dark look to him these days. He doesn’t seem happy and probably another reason Neetu is a bit overprotective about him.
The comments about why Alia is in this relationship though is interesting. I think the girls that fall for Ranbir genuinely fall for him and the mind games that he plays with you keeps them hooked. On top of that he’s one of the current stars and so understands their world. The Kapoors sold RK Studios now which was about 500 crores (which is a lot!) but divide that by the family and how much does each family get out of that? Also how much of that money goes to recoup the losses that they already had on that property (Rishi said they were hemorrhaging money)How long does that kind of money last with the lifestyles that they have? Maybe they are super rich but Alia’s family is also doing well.
Do you really think if Alia went for ANYONE else she would be less relevant? She could choose any actor if she wanted someone in showbiz, I really don’t see the appeal of a Kapoor last name, her last name is actually good enough as it is. Y’all are acting like her career will be over in 5 years, in 5 years she’ll just reach 30 and will have at least another 6-7 years to go after that for leading roles. After which she can easily do ensemble or character roles to extend her career further. She’s very pretty, part German, has the youthful look about her, is very “gen now” and has the talent to boot. She could easily find someone that’s a business man, European, a sports star that’s not Indian, and just blast her relationship on social media like Sonam Kapoor did and so long as they’re good looking they can still become a power couple. She should marry when she’s closer to her 30s like the other actresses have done and the newfound marriage will give a boost to her career just like it did for the rest. Hopefully she comes to her senses soon, Ranbir needs to work on himself before he goes for someone new. I’m sure she’s not stupid and is doing this for the PR attention and not much else.
First neetu wants a doormat bahu who will put a perfect ” we are a perfect family” facade in public and put up with them, She has hated all of his previous girls because they are not doormats. Neetu’s enjoys her control over ranbir it gives her a advantage over rishi, just go and see the episode of ranbir and listen to neetu that is not a woman you want as MIL. You know bachans were got the miss world such a high brand value bahu is ash neetu also wants the same bragging rights about her bahu but wants a door mat.
Ranbirs is narcissist he enjoys the chase once it done its over its the next thing for him I seriously doubt he like alia’s a girl far more successful thn him hes isnt the kind of man who seems to able to handle a partner far more successful thn him so the girls derail their career look at dp/kat both were sucessful the slow their career for him and get dumped when they are going through a low.
Alia has urban appeal not the masses appeal that say someone like sara has . Alia is extremely ambitions she is the bhatt daughter but chose kjo, She is best discribed by her own sis pooja who said alia is not a simple as people think she knows what she wants and she knows how to get it she is having the last laugh at others expense. ALIA is mahesh bhatt’s daughter so she is well aware of the realities of bw , she had made sure she fit neetu’s list of wife for ranbir. She uses link ups/ personal life for PR she uses it directly while ranbir does it indirectly. they both are narcissist along with kjo she knows what she i getting into with ranbir she has been enjoying showing off this relationship, Alia is not his type. if she marries him I bet they will be painted a the next sarah dilip kumar where people will forget how shitty dilip was towards madhubala . Alia has faked relationship with everyone costar for PR, Kjo/alia have sent out of her hooking up with shahid and srk.
Alia is narcissist like 99% in bollywood. Anuskha married virat he will go down in history books as a great cricketer anuskha is producing she will remain relavent, in sonam’s case she will be relevant because of her productions and anil kapoor . Alia only has dharma and kjo will drop her as soon as she fails she wants bw royalty not an outsiders to remain relevant being the kapoor bahu getsyou power in bw. Alia has not defined her existence around dharma unless she does something to make a brand of herself alone she will need ranbir to stay relevant post marriage
Umm ! If you look at private photos oh alia and ranbir private dinner published compared to PDA in public by ranveer – Deepika . One would wonder who is living life for themselves or others .
Ranveer Deepika have some fans as couple – don’t ask me . They pose for them and they do acknowledge that .
It’s funny to think deepveer as showy.
I actually feel bad for their shipper fans b.s. they don’t even have a full look picture from their wedding or a one second video at least from this ‘showy/attention seeking’ couple’s wedding.
They come out once in a blue moon. One of my mutual on Twitter is hardcore deepveer fan so I know the frustration is real. Some shippers actually wish their faves were attention seeking so that they get some bits to enjoy.
I mean disha tiger got engaged, we got news that day itself. So does with any other couple. These two were engaged for four years, have aggressive prs yet no one knew it. I think deepveer deserves to be acknowledged as the most private couple.
I actually like virushka more but lately they’ve also started being a bit flaunting. Carrying a photographer all through their vacations is a stretch. I thought they were recluse couple.
Playing the devils advocate – The fact that Deepveer if we want to call them by their conjoined nickname (I’m not a “shipper” of either Ranbir Aliaa or Deepika Ranveer but like Deepika Ranveer as a couple and like Ranbir Alia separately lol) were engaged for so long while keeping it private all the while playing the media with their cat and mouse game of are they aren’t they while Deepika made her usual inane comments about other people’s babies and her exes underwear actually to me indicate that they are highly attuned to the media and what the public think and instead of being honest and real are a little manipulative and “living for the public”. They’re kind of liars if they could lie for 6 years, what can they lie about next? Perhaps next time we’ll see them happily play the part of married couple and 6 years later we’ll see them divorce. Who knows! We can’t exactly trust them anymore! To live for yourself is someone like Madhuri or Kajol who just went f it and married who they wanted with no qualms. Everything about their relationship including the immense backpedaling they did after they got married with the whole “actually we were engaged throughout” seemed too intentional. Their coordinated Instagram posts that they dropped the day of the wedding, the fact that Ranveer immediately started promoting Simbba, was a bit cheap. The elaborate and continuous receptions with professional pre shoot photos released each time. It all seemed very media friendly, that doesn’t mean they’re fake or their love isn’t real and I wasn’t comparing them to Aloobir when I said they’re living for the public (god knows if aloobir is even a real relationship). But they do certainly enjoy the public attention a lot it seems! Their pda in public now including their recent media quotes (how Ranveer bagged the top most chick!) seem a little showy and on top of that when they talk about how each other are at home they both paint a very opppaite picture to how they present themselves in public. Deepika often mentions how calm Ranveer is, how they can sit in silence together, so to me that indicates that Ranveer is not really his true self in front of the camera flashes. He “performs” and how they both were in the car seemed showy to me – if that’s how they are all the time then as I said they are made for each other! Anyway I actually do like them in general and certainly I’m not a shipper of any couple just enjoy watching and speculating!
@Rekha- you are so spot on in your perception about everything. Re: Deepveer of course the “performative’ aspect is strong with these two. Now that doesnt mean their love or relationship is fake but on the contrary they understand the equity or their brand as a couple and use it to the fullest. I adore DP but she has milked her coy “are they/arent they” status for years. But i dont blame her. This is literally how every celebrity management model functions- they have to craft a narrative around their client- Bindaas/Husband of the millenium, Loverboy Ranbir (unfortunate) and Sensible, Real Anushka are just some of them. Everyone, even someone as lowkey as Nawaz or Rajkumar or let’s say Ishan Khattar have their narratives and they have to stick to it. Authenticity is just a buzzword and nothing more. In fact I would say 98% of all the film news we read is PR approved. The unpleasant news that does get leaked usually via blind items? It’s either some disgruntled member of the film crew or its direct sabotage by rival production or actor. This is not my opinion, it is a fact of the business. Great examples of Kajol or Madhuri who truly didnt give a f*ck about being “on brand” and made their personal decisions. Of course the business the has changed so much now I doubt anyone can afford to do that now.
The only place where I dont agree with you perhaps is Alia’s position. I think she really does want the Kapoor crown and she is in a slightly precarious position – she ia Kjo dependant and he pays her peanuts for a No 1 actress. Also I think sadly the saturation level with an actress after 30 is a real thing- whether of audiences or the business I dont know. But look at Anushka or DP…without their own productions..where are rhe exciting film offers? It has slowed down and Alia is clearly over taken. How long did DP’s reign last- who is such a complete package btw- 5 years tops? I hope Alia fares better but i am sceptical. These things change veryyyyyy slowly. Having said that..I would be most happy if this Alia RK linkup is just PR for Brahmastra. I hope she lands up with someone like Anand Ahuja. Rich, supportive but from outside the industry with other interests
@ Rekha @ Anon
Ranveer is a showy guy – unabashedly . Deepika is coyish and flirtatious. Not many belive what deepika said that they were engaged 4 years ago… its easy to glorify something now that they are married.
But Ranveer always behaved like a smitten guy back then and even now , he never said they were engaged 4 years ago.
Deepika still made some stupid comments about Ranbir not attending her wedding reception let alone in past about his boxers or someone else’s babies. And guess what more will come …in future I guess.
Point is they are not trying to earn your /our trust . They are kind of selling dreams to certain target audience as a brand …like Sonama- Aanand , Virushka etc . What was Ranbir doing ? showing off that he can get any top actress- Super model type.
Deepveer are doing something very successfully that other couples havent been.
With Aloor BIR giving us their private Valentine’s day dinner says the exact same thing. BW is in business of selling dreams on and off screen.
Ofcourse Ranveer is not exactly same person off camera , just because his entertainer mode is On during promotions and public events it does not mean he is a jack in the box all the time. This is bullshit then that makes us all Fake people since we all are different with different people(colleagues, friends, close friends, family).
You know what is outdated and looked down upon than being different ON/OFF camera … a family talking about their son’s girlfriends like conquests ” ABCD list , mother talking of a his son’s GF as “one of the many women he is dating and when he says he wanna marry , then i will look at her with different eyes “.
Rolling out interviews on how their bahu shud be …all these archaic and misogynistic public talks are looked down upon than glorifying ur relationship and the woman ur with.
Madhuri -kajol belonged to different gen…If rumors are true Kajol puts up with different BS. Madhuri belonged to a time when actresses were becoming 2nd wife…and secret weddings were a thing coz of career. apples n oranges..seriously!
Yaar Kiran..we are talking about the PR game. Everyone does it, has to do it. This has literally been my field for over a decade. Issme bura manne waali baat hi nahi hai neither is it about Ranveer vs Ranbir. Nor is it about who is ethical and who is dating supermodels. Every actor and their aunty has to do it. Even Sharmilaji after all these years has a Pr manager and has to play the game and playact an image of a royal for beand endorsements etc. An A list bollywood couple has to play the game even harder. It’s about brand equity. Simple.
Why did you have to mention her being ‘part german’? Does being German make you more beautiful? Sorry but it just looks derogatory to us Indians who aren’t ‘part german’.
Well I just threw it in there to indicate that she’s got a European background and mixed cultural heritages with her grandparents (or grandmother?) and so can easily travel/live abroad if she so chooses and potentially find a non Indian boy as well (everyone can but sometimes cultural differences are hard to overcome so she might not have that issue). Her and her mother are both beautiful and sure her genes have a part to play there but doesn’t make her better or worse than the rest. Good call out thanks for letting me clarify.
Ranveer living his dream on and offscreen while Ranbir is still stuck in blinds chasing girls.
Stupid Ranbir. What a waste of his enormous talent.
Totally agree @New Girl. It’s an enormous waste and becomes all the more highlighted when put in contrast with the discipline and commitment that Ranveer brings to his roles. I looked around in my hall during GB and not a single dry eye. He really sold me on Murad.
Ps- I have to grudgingly accept that Alia was spectacular too…she is really talented..shouldve known coz KJO is no fool. (I also loved MC Sher…talk about natural swag.. weirdly hot!!)
@nars I think the arguement Aloobir were having in the car was about the after party at Zoya’s house. They left the screening together but Ranbir was not present at Zoya’s house. He most probably did not want to be partof his competition’s success party. with him skipping the after party the reason for his outburst in the car is very evident
Last night as damage control Ranbir’s cook posted a pic of Aloobir having dinner celebrating valentines day.
Ranveer just gave a 19 crore opening for a niche multiplex movie. Neither Ranbir, Varun have been able to give such a big opening for any of the niche movies they have done so far. Say what you have to say about Ranveer’s stardom but currently his stardom and box office pull is bigger than any of his peers.
19.40 cr for niche non masala film. bigger opening that SLB movies . Trashing all he is nothing without DP and SLb twitter accounts are now protected.haha
@kiran101 I have stopped arguing with people who try to undermine his bo pull and stardom after Padmaavat. Now he he has given a 19 crore opening without SLB, DP Rohit Shetty and masala genre but still some people will come up with exuses to undermine his stardom, acting and popularity. I have seen how loved he is in irl during Simmba time when people started cheering and whistling at a multiplex in Delhi.
Have you watched the movie? I watched it last night. What an amazing performance and a masterpiece of a movie. Saw some videos on twitter where people were cheering and singing along to Apna time aayega also.
@monalisa not yet, will be watching next week. wow! i hear very good things, more curious now.
Thanks. I just saw the video and laughed RK is trash and Alia is stupid.
RK is so jealous of RS. The videos from Delhi are proof enough. RK looks like a second fiddle to RS and the papz love their baba. Lmao
@monalisa I just saw it, first I rocked up for a 4pm show thinking it’s a weekday in london ticket mil jayegi but it was housefull…Next show mein bhi pehli row mein last 2 seat bachi thi 🙂
I loved it but then i knew I would cos I’ve been listening to the soundtrack on a loop for weeks. I loved the picturisation of “India 91” and “Azadi”.
The cinematography, music, acting (even the smaller roles) everything was pitch perfect….phir se dekhne ka man kar raha hai…kudos to zoya for a thoroughly paisa vasool film. She brought out the beauty and poetry of Dharavi without glossing over or over-sentimentalising anything.
I watched kjo interview ranveer recently and it seems like he has a skewed perception of romantic relationships, probably from the rampant cheating he sees. He’s already trying to plant seeds with ranveer saying infidelity is inevitable. Doesn’t he get tired of playing pr matchmaker?
He’s so transparent that he’ll probably cast his baby alia with ranveer in an epic love story next to cash in on his popularity and dethrone deepika at the same time. I hope ranveer can see through his bs.
Ranbir and his family have connections with the elite and rich, alia will put up with alot to be with him. I don’t feel sorry for any of these people, they’re manipulators of the highest order. In a way, being seen with each other is working for them, sadly.
Kjo is master of PR he was planting the seed of saying infidelity is inevitable. in the minds of the audience so that when he sends out a blind about ranveer cheating people will buy it. with kjo/alia/rk or another star kid interview its designed to send out a particular perception in the minds of people e.g kjo saying he asks every aspiration actor can they act. it made one ROFL for a guy who hires arjun of all actors that fact that he wants you to believe he values acting not looks, genetics so please accept his nepotism picks as raw talent. just look at kjo face which is filled with whatever when ranveer talks about his marriage or dp pretty sure he isnt happy with what dp/rs are as together. he still wants you think he isnt powerful so please dont buy the fact he is one who calls directors to dum actors and hire his minions. he says hes accessible sure lets just ask ayushman that
I think KJo just loves to play with people’s lives.
He wanted to try it with Kajol but she was too in love with Ajay D to let it happen. If he had had his way, Kajol and Ajay would not have gotten married and there might have been a real life or fake blind Gauri-SRK-Kajol love triangle.
(Although considering what kind of cheat Ajay allegedly is and what Kajol’s career would have been if she had allowed KJo have his way like Alia does, i’m not 100% sure her choice was a wise one)
I’m sure he tried to link Hrithik and Kareena too but Hrithik refused to cooperate.
Alia on the other hand is willing to let him and he rewards her with good film roles.
Alia however has come a long way from SOTY in terms of acting. If she’s stupid enough to go the distance with Ranbir, i just hope she’s smart enough to invest wisely. She should also consider other options such as directing and producing too.
Am I the only person who thinks this blind is FAKE? The relationship is fake for crying out loud. Besides, Vaani wouldn’t be so stupid to risk her alleged lover’s anger as she only gets films from him
The obvious is this fake blinds attempt to get sympathy for Alia for dating Ranbir.
true this blind seems fake cox the relationship seems fake. its an attempt to copy deepika’s situation with ranbir how people sympathise with deepika they want same sympathy for alia. & this drama of break up patch up will continue for some time after all kjo’s project is a 3 part movie na BRAHMASTRA so this drama of heartbreak & patch up will continue
@Joe, you are so right. Ppl dont understand that marriage in Bollywood (much like in our society) is designed for maximum power and mutual benefit, rather than love. While it is true that Kapoors dont have that much money anymore i am sure they are confident that RK’s talent will ensure money in the long run. Alia is more successful at the moment but while Ranbir has 2 decades to prove himself..Alia as an actress only probably has 5 years max before she has to find her Plan B and fade away. So in such a scenario, she might be tolerating RK’s bad behaviour as he is her retirement plan that will also save her from total irrelevancy. I will say this that Karan is probably responsible for pushing her towards this direction..I say this because Karan has always talked about how “everyone cheats” and he has most likely normalised this for Alia too (and hence all the “emotional infidelity” bs). The funny thing is that while I have sympathy for women like Neetu and Babita because of the conservative times they were in, this does NOT have to be Alia’s life. She is only looking at the world through Karan’s jaded eyes when other women like Sonam and Anushka have smartly chosen successful, non filmy men who seem too smitten to cheat on their wives and who not only “allow” them to work but also WANT them to work. (Not counting Ranveer in this because honestly he sounds too fake about his marriage for us to know what’s going on…his terrible ‘tapecast’ with Karan recently is an example) Ranbir on his part barely seems to be keeping it together…he is not dealing with this career slump well at all. And I suspect all these ‘PR appearances’ with Alia are making him more and more irritable. Seriously Alia..it’s 2019..do you want an Abhimaan like situation in your life??
I understand that life in a lot of ways is hard for actresses but what reason does a 25 year old A lister have to make such a backwards 1960s choice?? They never change Alia honey..time only makes these men more brutal and more damaged. Go find your Kavin Mittal, gurrrrrl, screw Karan!!!
PS- What the HELL is Mahesh Bhatt thinking? I understand Karan’s power but this is your daughter’s life dude!
Alia doesn’t need kjo to tell her the reality of bw marriage. Mahesh Bhatt has past of using women, cheating on his wife, back stabing, changing faith to marry his second wife. How it feels to be cheated on well Alia can get that info from his first wife. Alia has been brought up in that world.why would Mahesh Bhatt mind his girl marrying Ranbir when he has lived an equally odd life. Infact bhats marriage to Kapoor with life their production house image so why would he mind joining the league of the top men in bw.
@anon Dont u get tired of bringing Ranveer and ur opinion of him being FAKE everywhere? like u said he will fade way and now GUllyBoy is doing well. Unless u know his life and him well i will go will Deepika’s opinion of him, she seems too sure about him that he is smitten by her .
Oh BTW Virat dated Tammanna Bhatia before Anushka …so he is smitten by bollywood beauties. All these guys are overly praising their wives and relationship at every chance…obviously Ranveer gets more press coz he is also a Bollywood actor.
Sonam’s hubby who is neither a sports star or BW star got more press considering neither is SOnam a big star nor is an achiever in anything … so yes they all appear FAKE considering their achievements the rate at which each couple praise their spouse and relationship.
I dont know why ur singling out Ranveer , try to hate on him different way since his movies are doing well ?
@PK, unless you are confusing me with another ‘Anon’ I most definitely like Ranveer. I I am also objective about him and I feel like just because I like his acting does not mean I cannot be objective about his PR and public image (like I am about every other Bollywood person..they are very very different from what they appear to be…all of them). I do not believe in stanning for anyone so maybe that’s why you think Im hating on him. I think it’s possible to like someone as an actor and criticise other aspects.I really dont see why we should sit at anyone’s feet. These stars are people at the end of the day. Im sorry if youre a fan, I mean no harm. I have certainly never said he ll disappear..so i dont know where you got that from.
Re: Anushka and Virat, Tamanna was before he got together with Anu. Also I did not imply that Ranveer is a cheater. Just that he is very very guarded about his personal life (he has the right to be but it’s at odds with his bindaas person and that serves to highlight that it’s a facade) Anyway, this thread is about Alia and Ranbir’s disastrous union…pls dont be this rattled by someone else’s (mine) throwaway opinion…it’s really not that important. If you love Ranveer..more power to you. I will confess that I have slight proximity to industry so i am a bit cynical about behind the scenes machinations. But it shouldnt matter to you. Peace.
@Anon what is this “terrible tapecast’ with Karan” you are referring to?
It’s those Tapecast interviews by Anupama’s Film Companion @LondonThumakda. Should be on Youtube. It’s KJO and RS in conversation on various topics. Anupama has done a few previously..like Anurag Kashyap with Kalki and Vidya with Shabana, both were lovely. I lost my patience with the recent because Karan as usual was being his fake, talkative self and trying to pretend he isnt powerful and RS was giving homilies for really direct questions (again, i have to say it’s his choice if he doesnt like being vulnerable…and in front of Karan too..but I lost patience after the other really meaningful conversations in the series)
@Anon I second that.
“Go find your Kavin Mittal, gurrrrrl, screw Karan!!!” Loved it! Such a liberating line.
p.s. Sonam caught Anand with his ex in his London office..so read the blinds. Virat seems goldmine among the lot, though can’t say the same about married actors and actresses in current generation be it Hrithik, SRK, Akshay, Ajay, Aamir, Shahid, etc. with some rare exceptions. They are notorious both post and pre-marriage – latest one is Arjun-Malaika that started before her divorce. Since, the newest generation, hasn’t married except Ranveer, its too early to say Gen-Now BW marriages are loyal and trustworthy, doubtful things may change.
That blind was in the opinionatedindian site which is wrong most of the times.that blind was about esha dell or her sister,can’t remember which one.but admin here did the same blind.so don’t trust that site at all.
As of now anand is clean,let’s hope it stays like that in future.
Kangana is going to direct her own biopic? And the way she’s put it, I think she needs 1,2 it going by her modesty quotient a 100 lessons in being modest.
Anon, kangu will literally be in every frame.lol
Btw,karan n hrithik may lose sleep after this news..
Adding – I think all the look alikes of hrithik, k jo, adhyayan, aditya pancholi, director krish etc similar to that of lookalikes of modi, parrikar, rajnath singh, ajit doval etc that were cast in Uri. Among those lookalikes, probably the actor playing hrithik will have the longest role among the side kicks, because the longest battle in the media was with hrithik. She will have lot of controversies to promote the film since all the real life people will complain about not seeking prior approval. So there will be many lawsuits and kangana will spin different narrative that time because she has already overused feminist and nationalist card to the T.
Is this to change the narrative around her among her neutral fans? Cause I don’t see that working unfortunately. She’ll go further into victimhood, she’s already got a bit of a martyr complex, and then no one will ever believe her again. I feel like that could be a career demise. She shouldn’t do this. She’s just beginning her 30’s. She could start keeping a journal to write an autobiography later on in life. Let someone else make a film on her when she’s 60 and done with BW, like Sanjay Dutt.
It is not Ranbir that girls are dying for,but it is BW’s first family, the Kapoor’s that girls are dying for. Yes, economics and stability plays a role esp. when one in an actor, a career that pays only for 10-12yrs, and however, people may trash this reality and say love triumphs, clearly doesn’t know what marriage is.
Fact of the matter is, girls are after him as it makes them a queen for life. Look at Ash, her career is long gone, but she couldn’t be more secure financially and influentially, doesn’t matter if husband has failed, there’s more than enough to keep her up there. Would she be anywhere near her stature right now, had she married that Sameer Bhatia or Vivek Oberoi or some cricketer? Same goes for Kapoor family, you become a queen, part of first family. Both AB jr. and RK are flops, but that doesnt matter as there’s enough money to sustain, influence isn’t going out anytime soon. It brings immense respect and security for life, what more can one ask for, when esp. in BW marriages, either the 1st generation superstar fades into oblivion or they go bankrupt like Arbaz, Arjun who try their hand at gambling and IPL betting and what not, unless you have a child prodigy like Ekta Kapoor or Hrithik to keep the money coming. Of course, all these girls will try all their might to marry a flop Bachchan jr. or Kapoor jr to add their surnames.
Alia knows that. She may be stupid otherwise, but is well aware of “friends with benefits” as she said on KWK aka Kjo, Ayan, Kat etc. etc. She always had her eyes on RK, she became friends with Kat and obviously got to know everything about RK. DP’s story is also the same and out in the open. So Alia knows RK and his relationship problems, which is why on KWK she emphasized emotional infidelity is a deal breaker, not infidelity in general, not physical infidelity..both of which RK is an expert at. Also, who knows when RK cheats on her yet again, she can defend her title as would-be-Mrs. Kapoor by saying RK slept with Vaani or several others, but emotionally he was always with Alia, lol, that’s for public defense. Fact is, in reality, today Neetu Singh is considered respectful and called on all these shows ONLY because she is married to Rishi Kapoor. She like every other girl also did the same, she knew Rishi is an alcoholic, abuser, has serial affairs, is everything a husband should not have, BUT he was also the Kapoor scion, and look how great her life is. When things got worse, she separated taking with her kapoor kids because of which she will always be Kapoor queen, but did not divorce him, to maintain the title, clever! Had she married some businessman, cricketer, some other 1st generation actor of 60s, she would also had become of the forgettable names of 60s BW heroines, she is no Waheeda, Asha, Rekha, Madhubala who have great body of work. She would had possibly have lived bankrupt, and struggling with hospital expenses. But look how it helped her, abusive husband but a surname that made her life into a queen. And today, with her son being the only Kapoor scion today (no cousin in the running as another Kapoor hearthrob in competition, would had completely changed the dynamics), she automatically gets the authority to command who RK’s GFs will be, as she knows, whoever she puts her finger on, will consider herself financially blessed. Considering her very humble background and little money she made in 60s BW movies, she is all that she is today, all because of being Mrs. Kapoor. Same goes for Babita, etc. If the surname gives you a life of a queen, with servants, bodyguards, international holidays, interviews, humongous bank balance and makes you a media and country favorite, its no harm to marry a sick person from a legendary family, and then separate with kids till they enter BW and become stars automatically. Anyways, alcohol/drug/female addiction runs in Kapoor genes since 3 generations at least, so not very wise to leave the opportunity due to this. Any actress who may have left the opportunity to be Mrs. Kapoor in the past generations, would had regretted her decision, she probably didn’t knew the harsh reality of life and thought marriage is a fairytale ending, which it is not. Anyways no other yesteryear actress is known today or seems financially well off anyways, apart from the ones already mentioned.
Also, Mahesh Bhatt might have thrashed RK for dating Alia as he said on KWK earlier, but today, he knows there is no other secure alternative for Alia (and for himself), either go the druggist, alcoholic, flop RK and live like a queen at least financially and publicly, or settle for some one time hit actor with flimsy bank balance or find a businessman and go out of the industry completely. All cricketers are booked already. So today sense prevails in Mahesh, also RK may have seem unattainable to him earlier, is happening today, of course Soni, Mahesh will give a kidney to get Alia married off to Kapoor family (through RK).
This reminds me when Sara made it clear on KWK that she wanted to marry Ranbir, but not date him. There itself, I knew, this one knows all the dirty details and knows Ranbir’s relationship and life issues. So instead of him playing with the GF and leaving her to go on the next, skip the lengthy dating part and quickly jump onto marriage so you get the kapoor tag. This one knows all the right things thanks to her clever mother and also because she knows the reality of life and marriage through her parents. She will rise great heights, and who knows may even be the next prospective GF of RK. Surely, she won’t be dumb like all earlier girls, and will quickly say I do – if that ever becomes a possibility.
Kapoor’s are not as loaded as they are thought. if they were so loaded then Babita would have never gone out of the house and had forced Karishma to start working at the age of 16. While I agree on AB Jr. and RK as flops but at least AB Jr, is not a serial cheater and womaniser. While ASH may have chased AB jr for his money and security however she is surely not struggling with a drunked, abuser, alcoholic and womaniser husband.
i think the reason babita forced karishma to work was because raj and krishna kapoor made it clear that she will not get a dime if she left.as far as the gossip i have read randhir didnt even help when karishma was being forced to do casting couch.they actually reconciled when randhir was seriously ill years later when even kareena was a superstar.the same reason why neetu didnt leave,she had actually called bandra police for domestic violence but took the complaint back.raj kapoor was a rich man in his hey days and the property he accumulated back then is a lot in real estate now.atleast thats what i have read.
@Raj When Babita married Randhir, he was not a proven flop actor by then, he was still playing hit and miss game, besides Raj Kapoor was still alive, and all his brothers/uncles were massive in BW. There was no other better alternative, not even Amitabh at that time who was struggling and used Jaya Bhaduri through marriage. It was after Randhir flopped and became alcoholic, like every other Kapoor, did Babita leave (Like Neetu) and made both her daughters superstars majorly due to Kapoor surname. Had Babita married someone else, say Rajendra Kumar or Rajkumar or some other 1st generation superstar of the time, and Kapoor sisters didn’t had the kapoor surname but some kumar or kumari, they would’nt had been as successful nor have gotten so many chances after series of massive flops – that comes from the influence Kapoor family has in BW and still does. Same goes for Neetu, separated took her kapoor kids, who ultimately became superstars even before their debut due to kapoor tag.
AB jr. may not be a womanizer, but AB sr. certainly is, and to add to that a pervert, given his age. It will be a rarity to have someone in BW who is not a cheat/have a fling/indulge in outdoor adventures. Probably, Ab jr. never got these movies to try that, though he has had his share pre-marriage i.e. before he was declared career dead.
In the previous generation women in bw after marriage were finicaly dependent on men so the only way they could secure a decent life was to stick to their cheating husbands. I do agree these women have to find financially more stable thn them because lets be honest not every man has the maturity to handle life with professionally a more successful woman. But in todays world if you are successful smart woman you create an identity separate from a man which is something dp/anu/sonam/ash have done. They add to the value of their husbands not depend on them. Ash is definitely ahead of ab jr and the man on his part had handled it with maturity on his parts they treated karishma very badly also ash is given a hard time by her inlaws. I do think alia being far more successful thn ranbir is also a reason for him to take his frustration out at her he makes the ladies some down from the success leader to feel better about his failures it seems.
If alia is as smart a woman as pooja claims she is she should use her dharma given success to help elevate the success of bahtt film production there by getting independent of kjo and found a man outside bw like sonam has done for anil productions. Alia is in a position where she does not need ranbir but seems like she wants the coveted ranbir boyfriend so one doesnt feel sympathy towards her. it took kat more thn a year before she started making changes to her face thanks to ranbir it case of alia it happened after 6 months.
@JOE
Ab Jr may not be successful but he is definetly a gentleman , educated and decent guy. He manages their business interestes and other things and he is loaded. Since he is loaded and has social capital Aish also has advantage of being married to a nice guy.
kapoors surely have social capital but they have been so brash and arrogant that if they do not produce big stars in every generation no one will look their way also. Ofcourse these ppl know to be in good books of yash raj and dharma.
Raj kapoor had many 4 sons and 2 daughters how much wealth left after their Ayyiyash life who knows. All of them indulged in Debauchery and none of them are super stars who made money like SRK . RK studios and Production house are dead .
Ranbir needs all the money he is making for his conquests …apparently gifts and enthralls women by gifting van cleef arpels etc etc … with whom he will aneways break up.
If kapoors were that rich i guess karishma and kareena wud not have ended up with rich 2nd and 3d hubbies. Maybe they wud have gone for rich and 1st hubby.
Sara corrected it in the next interview with malishka and said that she does not want to marry Ranbir ..she said that saif said it coz she had said it as a child and she went along with it in kwk since she thought saying ,’ not any more’ would be rude…she is too smart go have anything to do with Ranbir .
@leaps
Previous generation actresses had a lot of issues …they were uneducated, very young and unware and did not learn to manage their money.
ALl they did was apply make up and face camera, no mind of their own. No idea or thought on long term investments of their earnings, they did not even know how much they earned. They blindly had some relative negotiate, receive payments and do all sundry for them and they blindly trusted them. Their idea of retirement and investment for future is get hold of some rich guy first or 2nd marriage.
All these women got cheated and exploited by a family member , they had to trust some man coz they dont even know what money and how much they have.Actresses now are more in control of their life and money.
I wud say Madhuri- Aish – current gen actresses are smarter with these things. I dont know why is Alia going the old school way ? She does not have to support anyone , maybe she is using Ranbir as much as he is and both are not interested in marrying. who knows!
Hey can someone throw a light over this-if Salman Khan were to marry now, which sound next to impossible,will he be considered a good catch or bad catch n where does he stand in eligibility in Bollywood compared to Ranbir n others.btw,why imdb show him as gay?is he really? thanks.
@kiran101 agree with you . As far as Alia interest in Ranbir in her bw world he’s the ultimate catch that woman hasn’t had any real relationship and she wants Ranbir she thinks she can survive with a narcissist so be it. I do think she is a narcissist too kjo Alia ranbiR are peas in a pod. Personality wise Alia Ranbir are too similar and match each other so dont feel sorry for her
Ratia,the gay rumours have been around.long back in an article on this forum someone mentioned he used to pickup gay guys in Bandra when he was not famous,and around 2008 he used to have an affair with a Canadian backup dancer.this person was a friend of that guy and said that he is married now to someone nice.in India forum websites his bisexuality is discussed often.but I guess everyone in Bollywood tries everything.all the big stars except ajay have been rumoured to be bisexual.either they really swing both ways or try everything.
Comparing ranbir and salman is comparing a death eater and Voldemort.what is worse?ranbir sucks the soul out of the person he is with,they have such dead eyes and need years to get back to their old self.ill give salman the upper hand ,atleast in the initial years the girls have been madly in love with him.they were so in love that were ready to tolerate everything until they were forced to leave.but with ranbir they turn into depressed soul within a year.same pattern with deepika katrina alia,with salman atleast the family is nice.ranbirs family are like children of Satan.everyone.
Seriously?
*Rolls eyes
Thanks lucy.but i wanted know to that if someone someday become Mrs Khan what will be her position in Bollywood in financial security n power compare to Mrs Kapoor n other options.again thanks.
Well kapoor family is known as the first family in Bollywood,that will always be there.but it’s also possible to come from nowhere and make a legacy like bacchan.with salman things are a little dicey,as of now he certainly is more popular than ranbir.katrina would have been famous if she married salman but iulia is a nobody in India plus she is really a behind the scenes kind of person.mrs khan or mrs kapoor can be beneficial to someone already famous,like neetu and babita.salman doesn’t have kids,who really can take forward the legacy.and what’s the point of mrs khan when there are no children.like gauri will be very powerful when aryan and Susanna make debut.like neetu came back into the limelight with ranbir.aamirs kid is really young,kiran has to wait.i have a feeling there will be no mrs khan in salman case,iulia looks happy with live in.right now mrs kapoor tag looks better in terms of power.and there are really no filmy family left,mrs kapoor tag will be up for grabs until mrs khan tag is available.i mean aryan khan.
@Ratia
Salman abandoned the idea of marraige since Aishwarya…he had some intentions to marry katrina at one point and abandoned the idea of marraige completely after Kat.
No one in his family is forcing him to marry either , salman’s family are vocal about his short comings even if they support him.
He is a better man by not marrying anyone and ruining their life. But when he was in love he was quite sincere unlike you know who u asked about.
and his family has no airs about being Blue blood line or something. Aneways , rest assured he wont marry, even if he does he wont pop out kids. That way i appreciate him for not challenging the world that he can if he wishes to .
Please upload the Instagram video from Viral after Gully Boy screening. Ranbir is clearly saying some shit to her and her expression is of utter disbelief. It’s as if she’s had enough of his unreasonable bullshit but still that spineless puppet will continue to pretend all is well. I wonder how strong or weak she is? Only time will tell!
Funny is the fact that Viral uploaded two couples after the screening and the other couple is looking so happy, just having a bit of fun for the paparazzi
Saw the video. Man he isn’t even trying to be civil with her in public forget shower affection. Well like most bollywood men he is not going to be happy seeing his number one competitor delivering one great movie after another plus this movie has his gf in it as well. Alia needs to get out of this fast. No amount of money, name, fame is worth being treated as a doormat and dissed in public. She is successful and talented and does not need RK. Kapoor family is probably not even going to be relevant in the coming years.
I saw it too. his expression is so scathing like he cant even bear to look at her and she looks like she’s about to burst into tears.
Admin can you solve today’s Mumbai mirror blind and do a separate post on it
RK made a very telling statement, once again old tricks become new! This he said at the start! Yet, Aloo l read made a statement the she picked a name for her daughter, RK has the most honest eyes.. What? Aloo, in gully boys promotions, did looked low energy. Is she not close to her family,the way everyone went on board on uncle sherbat and aloo, love trian! Sad, to see mahish bhatt, made statements ,after saying he will never comments on his kids personal life. Looks,like KJO aunty went totally out of control with this match of the two odd birds!
It was always there to see. The fakeness of this Aloo Sharbat relationship. It’s so cringy to watch KJo bracketing this pair with already married ones like PicNick and DeepVeer.
Admin did you see this:
https://www.timesnownews.com/entertainment/news/bollywood-news/article/zoya-akhtar-receives-backlash-for-hardcore-feminist-comment-on-original-gully-boys-naezy-and-divine/364609
Lol why do these bollywood so called intellectuals act in such a patronizing manner? Ultimately all of these people grew up in the lap of south mumbai luxury and have no clue about the real people out there. They want to make hard hitting stories and get kudos for doing something “different” when the subject does not need any help from these makers to come across as authentic because the it is complete, honest and raw to start with. Always knew Zoya is maybe a more polished version of bollywood superficiality and so the mask has fallen and how.
I don’t think she meant it as a diss she was trying to pay them a compliment…however I know what you mean about the airhead south bombay mentality, the interview with anupama-ranveer-alia really made me cringe.
https://www.thequint.com/entertainment/celebrities/ranveer-alia-on-politics-of-azadi-track-in-gully-boy
they are trying to adamantly stay apolitical in complete contrast to what the gully rap movement is about. the original azadi track referenced kanhaiya kumar’s speech “brahmanwaad se azadi, manuvaad se azadi, sanghvad se azadi”.
@LondonThumakda Exactly. In an interview with that old lady journalist, she asked Ranveer about slums and Ranveer replied “I grew up playing with friends from Bandra East” ROFL!!!! He made Bandra East Dharavi.
That’s right, all these hypocrite actors keep making movies about revolution, azadi, underdogs/outsiders making a mark in a field but are completely opposite to all of it. Even in interviews, no talk of azadi, aukaat banana khud ke dum par lol, when they are all nepo group. This is extreme level of hypocrisy right on the face, but people never caught it, rather intentionally accepted hypocrites. Kangana is so right, they are all hypocrites.
“As creepy as it sounds, this seems to be KebabJo’s side business now!” this is true i’m seeing pinkvilla headlines like KJO wants to set up aditya roy kapoor with kriti, sid with tara sutaria. i mean why doesnt he just start a bollywoodshaadi.com lol. in a way its funny at least ranbir has a choice what about us audiences KJO what if we want a respite from aloo and want to see more of kriti, yami, radhika, sanya, tapsee, shraddha…humara bhi to socho!
i just randomly came across an old OSOP item where a journalist asked rishi if its true katrina calls him papa and he replied sternly “she wouldnt dare do any such thing”. and this was in dec 2015 when allegedly they had been dating for 5 years and close to getting engaged. what an awful insensitive thing to say..
@LondonThumakda it more like hookup marry go around so that he can has something to talk about on kwk.
Maybe Kangana was indeed right, Alia should grow a spine and get out of KJos shadow 😉 Which mentor twists your arm into having a relationship (fake or not) with a sicko, only a sick mentor can do that!
My theory is seeing how much hate Alia gets because of this relationship Kjo is trying to break these two up but before that putting out blinds to ensure that Aloo gets all the sympathy and love from public that she lost because of this relationship. Aloo has been getting a lot of hate because of this relationship so nepo papa trying to help out.
I won’t be surprised Kjo’s next for Aloo is Vicky. He recently gave a blockbuster movie.
Adi was very miffed with RK when he rejected BBB. RK got in to Adi’s good book last year only and he is running after his girl already. Nah, don’t think so. RK is not that stupid now is he.
I doubt alia will get sympathy. by now everyone knows she fakes linkups for PR. people will end up saying oh great she faked one with Casanova kapoor too.
Well another blind by mr raymond to make people talk about how he is a players the ultimate desire. Do i doubt hes hooking up with even with trees on set NO. Ranbir is narcissist he cant help but announce his banged list just like sanju number of 300 women. outsiders like dp/kat/mk should thank their stars they didnt end up marring him heck even kangana knew hes only good for a fling i do sympathize with outsider they donot know of his ways but alia well it hard to feel sorry for she grew up in that world so should know better. when dating a narcissist and Casanova always consider yourself a rule not the exception.
I do feel kjo felt he could break ranbir into the relationship with alia since this movie is a trilogy. He has too much invested into this movie to see them not marry just look at the money being invested in the PR drama for shoving them down our throats.
wasnt it alia who set the bar of relationship at emotional infidelity at KWK. She said on kwk first appearance that she has plan to marry ranbir. Her mentor made sure she would fit all the checks of kapoor bahu, is at the top has what seems to be perfect filmography, has no relationships in bw, other than varun all link ups were fake, both neetu and rishi and even ayan are on her side.the only thing rk/alia/kjo couldnt predict was the lack of interest people have in the two. This must piss ranbir the Casanova off the narcissist in him loves it when people talk about his love life.
what does Alia have to think of her an exception …dont tell that KJo has it in him to make Ranbir stick to her .
Kjo will lose how much money if ranbir alia dont stick together and their movie tanks?? more than enough i think to be spending over the pr diarrhea. kjo can use ayan his bff whose movie is financed by kjo to make things happen ayan is ranbir’s “precious”. Ranbir has suffered loses with jj his career needs a life. kjo controls alia’s career imagine the brand dharma with star kid ranbir added to his list of minions he will do it not because he cares for alia or ranbir but because of his investment.
Most people who fall into narcissist/Casanova trap think they are the exception because the narcissist/Casanova makes them think initially they are the best thing to happen to them ever same In alia case she made a choice to start a relationship knowing narcissist/Casanova and set the bar so so so low at emotional infidelity so how can she now expect him not to paint the town red
Alia has the support of kjo/ayan/neetu/rishi unlike his previous exes who neetu hated and wanted dal chawal and has settled with aloo paratha. Alia has mahesh bhatt the blunt man who will the reason kapoors wont be able to insult alia in public
Actress interested in kapoor surname not him.that his USP.
Please can u stop saying that? In today’s age who changes their surname after marriage? Such a patriarchal way of ‘branding’ a woman as possession. If anything Kapoor name stands for uneducated-womanizing-alcoholic-wife beater A&&@!$ nothing more.
This fake snake cheated on Sid and dated her friend EX, an opportunist and traitor for real deserves ended being cheated. Karma is a b*tch right Alia?
Lmao. True
Hope aditya chopra is alright with vani going about with Ranbir. I think in bollywood nothing is exclusive. Everyone(with few exceptions), are shared entities.
was thinking the same how will mr india feel about sharing his gf with another man
