Seeing his son Ranbir Kapoor dressed as the groom, sitting astride a horse, was late legend Rishi Kapoor’s most cherished desire before his untimely demise on April 30, 2020. The proud father had shared his wish with wife Neetu Kapoor and on his 69th birth anniversary, and the veteran actress had spoken about the same in an interview.
Ranbir Kapoor to soon tie the knot with Alia Bhatt
If reports are anything to go by, the heartthrob of Bollywood is getting hitched to his longtime girlfriend Aloa Bhatt next week. While the Kapoor khandan is yet to share an official statement, rumours are rife that they’re getting married in Mumbai after dating each other for more than three years. As per the latest reports, Ranbir has already booked Vaastu’s banquet hall for the ceremonies.
His father’s cherished dream
Ranbir’s father, legendary actor Rishi Kapoor died from leukaemia in 2020. His untimely demise sent shock waves across the nation. A year after his death, his wife Neetu Kapoor had spoken about his wishes. In an interview with The Quint, she said, “One was to see Ranbir wearing a turban with an emerald and a broach in the Peshawari tradition–astride a ghodi (horse), on his wedding day. He was totally sentimental about this, he’d keep saying, ‘Kisi din, mujhe hamare bete ko ghodi pe sawaar dekhna hai (Someday I want to see our son on a horse)’.”
In the same interview, Neetu Kapoor went on to reveal his second wish – to see the redevelopment of their under-construction house, Krishna Raj bungalow, complete. Rishi Kapoor wanted Ranbir and Riddhima to have their own apartments in the lavish house.
Interestingly, several reports say that Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt have plans of living there after their wedding. Alia, who’s all set to get married to her beau, is often spotted visiting the construction site with her soon-to-be mother-in-law.
