Wow, it really looks like Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhat are really serious about each other. So much that Ali doesn't mind ringing in the New Year with her boyfriend's family, where she is always a welcome presence. Of course, Ranbir being a dutiful son he is, would want his New Year to be with his parents, Rishi and Neetu Kapoor, for reasons that you would want to hug him. As you might be aware, the Kapoors are in the USA where Rishi is undergoing treatment for something they haven't confirmed yet. Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt Snapped in NYC, Brahmastra Co-Stars to Spend NYE Together (View Pics).

However, Neetu's New Year family post on Instagram is a clue of what Rishi might be having. She shared a picture of her and her husband with her kids, Ranbir and Ridhima, along with Ridhima's husband and daughter, and also Alia Bhatt. Alia and Ranbir were actually twinning in black hoodies! Ranbir Kapoor's Christmas 2018 Plan Does NOT Include Alia Bhatt but Vaani Kapoor!

However, it was a little worrying to see a usually colourful Rishi Kapoor looking weak in the picture, even though he is all smiles. More worrying is the caption that Neetu Singh gave to the picture that hints at her spouse might be suffering from cancer. The post read, "Happy 2019  no resolutions only wishes this year !!! Less pollution traffic!! Hope in future cancer is only a zodiac sign !!! No hatred less poverty loads of love togetherness happiness n most imp. Good health."

While the caption may look worrying, we are having our fingers crossed that Chintuji is responding well to the treatment.

Coming to the cheery bit of the picture, does anyone have any bets that Ranbir and Alia might tie the knot this year, preferably before their first movie together, Brahmastra, comes out in December?
