In March this year, in an interview with GQ magazine, the Tamasha star finally confirmed that he is dating Alia Bhatt. “It’s really new right now,” he said. “And I don’t want to over speak. It needs time to breathe and it needs space.”

Talking about his ladylove, Ranbir added, “As an actor, as a person, Alia is – what’s the right word? – flowing right now. When I see her work, when I see her act, even in life, what she gives is something that I’m aspiring to for myself. It’s new for us, so let it cook a bit.”

6. Marriage rumours 



Ever since the couple became public with their relationship, rumours regarding Ranbir and Alia tying the knot have been brewing. According to one of the reports, the couple is said to be tying the knot next year, while another suggested that we will be seeing #Ralia happening not sooner than 2020.

7. The dating rumours

Back in 2016, Mawra and Ranbir spent some time together in Berlin earlier. While the starlet was there for a fashion show, Ranbir had a meeting with director Ayan Mukerji to discuss their upcoming film, according to Hindustan Times.

This fueled rumours about the two dating. However, putting all the link-up rumours to rest, Mawra told the publication, “There is nothing for me to say about this as nothing I say will be enough to put these rumours to rest. People who are close to me know the truth so I don’t need to clear the air.”

8. Ranbir Ranbir instead of Zalmi Zalmi

Mawra was trolled mercilessly last year when she tweeted, “Is it just me or people screaming Zalmi Zalmi is actually sounding like Ranbir Ranbir..."

That’s when things got sour and she faced the wrath of the patriotic crowd! Also, made fans wonder – Ms Hocane wants attention much?

9. Working together

SCREENGRAB

It came as no surprise when back in 2016, Mawra revealed that one Bollywood actor she would love to share screen with would be the Barfi star as he is on the top on her wish list. “On the top of my wishlist is Ranbir Kapoor. I hope I can get a chance to work with him soon,” Mawra told IANS then.

Here's hoping we see Mawra and Ranbir together in a film soon!
