It was a night to remember at the 2024 Filmfare Awards, especially for Bollywood’s star couple Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor. In an Instagram post that has since gone viral, Alia Bhatt gave fans an intimate look into their celebratory evening, where both she and her husband walked away with the coveted Black Lady trophies for their outstanding performances in cinema.
Gandhinagar played host to the glitzy ceremony on a Sunday night, witnessing Alia Bhatt being honored as the Best Actor (Female) for her role in ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’. Her husband, Ranbir Kapoor, also captured the Best Actor award, making the event uniquely memorable for the couple as they mirrored their earlier triumph together from 2019.
Alia Bhatt’s Instagram displayed an array of snapshots from the event. One prominent photo showed the couple proudly holding their awards, while another heartwarming image portrayed Alia embracing filmmaker and mentor Karan Johar on stage. In a true show of her love for her team, she captioned her post with words of praise, explicitly dedicating her Filmfare night to the entire crew of ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’.
The acclaim was felt not only by the couple themselves but also resonated with their fans, colleagues, and family members. Soni Razdan, Alia Bhatt’s mother, didn’t hold back her excitement, posting her own congratulatory message, which reflected the pride and happiness shared by many.
Alia’s husband, Ranbir, had delivered a stirring performance that scored him the Best Actor award for his role in ‘Animal’, a cinematic piece released in theaters in December of the previous year. Their collective sweep at the Filmfare Awards only underscored the dynamic talents they each possess and their significant contributions to the Indian film industry.
Looking forward to what’s next for this couple, a great deal of buzz surrounds the anticipated project by Sanjay Leela Bhansali titled ‘Love and War’. Set to star Ranbir, Alia, and seasoned actor Vicky Kaushal, the film is being touted as an ‘epic drama’, though the specific genre details remain under wraps at this time. Expected to start principal photography in the upcoming months, the movie has already been scheduled for a grand release during the Christmas season of 2025.
Both Ranbir and Alia have previous histories of success with Bhansali. Ranbir’s first silver-screen appearance was in Bhansali’s ‘Saawariya’ (2007), while Alia recently worked with the director on the critically acclaimed and commercially successful ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’, for which she even secured the National Award for Best Actress. For Vicky Kaushal, however, ‘Love and War’ marks the inauguration of his collaboration with Bhansali.
This year’s Filmfare Awards not only celebrated the exceptional performances of these artists but also set the stage for the upcoming projects that promise to enthral and captivate audiences. With Bhansali’s new project on the horizon, the excitement is palpable amongst fans eager to see what these three actors, each with their unique talent, will bring to the silver screen.
As the Filmfare Awards night concluded, Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor, holding their awards, symbolized a power couple’s simultaneous rise to the pinnacle of their professional lives. It was indeed a ‘saras’ night, and with future projects aligning stars and creative minds alike, the film fraternity is abuzz with anticipation for what’s to come.
