One of the mushiest couples of the tinsel town is Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor. The two have been open about their relationship and potential marriage next year, very often. Not only the statements, but their pictures of hanging out together also have gone viral everytime they hit the internet. Just when Alia Bhatt's snaps with RK's parents-Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor went viral, her dad/filmmaker, Mahesh Bhatt now gives a nod to their relationship, publicly. Sushmita Sen-Rohman Shawl, Malaika Arora-Arjun Kapoor, Alia Bhatt-Ranbir Kapoor - A List of Most Awaited Big Fat Bollywood Weddings in 2019.

The fans have been waiting for the official statements from both the stars and the parents for a long long time. Even though not that, the celebs have been hinting about the possible union of the Bhatt and Kapoor families during various instances. Recently, when Mahesh Bhatt spoke to The Telegraph, he said, " Well, of course, they’re in love. You don’t need to be a genius to get that!”

Not only this, but he also went ahead to praise RK's performance in his recent blockbuster film Sanju. He added, "I loved Ranbir (Kapoor) but that’s not the Sanjay Dutt that I know. Ranbir brought his own emotional chord to it but I don’t think Rajkumar (Hirani) was claiming to the world that he’s making an exact replica. People who are very close to Sanjay cannot connect with that portrayal in the movie. But India seems to have loved it."

With these words, we can safely assume that the director is quite happy with his future son-in-law! On the work front, Bhatt has turned into a director once again with the sequel of his cult film Sadak. The film retains original stars Sanjay Dutt and Pooja Bhatt and adds new characters by Alia Bhatt and Aditya Roy Kapur. On the other hand, 'RAlia' will be next seen in Ayan Mukherjee's Brahmastra.
