The new romance between Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor is the talk of the B- town. The media went into a frenzy when Ranbir was seen at Alia’s house on Friday night. In the paparazzi shots, Alia, Ranbir and Mahesh Bhatt were seen having an intense conversation at their house.

In a dialogue with Hindustan Times, when Mahesh Bhatt was asked about the occurrence, he said, “When I saw those pics, I was like, ‘Oh, the paparazzi age is here and you have people from the outside using their premise to capture the image, because that’s what the nation is thirsting for.’ So, not saying more, I’d let the paparazzi guess if papa is raazi.”

Bhatt also explained that he is nothing like those parents who meddle in their children’s lives. He further said, “It’s very obvious that Ranbir and Ali are making no bones about talking to people about them being intimate. And I don’t belong to that category of parents who’d advise their children about their personal choices. Alia is an adult and it’s a matter that she has to resolve. It’s their life, their space. I respect and admire them for choosing to talk to the world when, and if, they want to do.”

Speaking about Ranbir, Mahesh Bhatt praised the actor and said, “I like and love him very much. He has got a core far deeper than what cinema space can capture. He astounded me in Sanju. After Amitabh Bachchan’s Deewar (1975), this is the first time I’ve seen an actor take charge of a character, which is iconic like Sanjay Dutt. Ranbir is barely 34 or 35 and though he comes from the great lineage of the Kapoor family, he has a unique charm and talent that’s his own. He is an original, just like Alia is an original”

It’s pretty obvious that Alia’s father approves of Ranbir as an artist and as a person.
