Bollywood’s buzz-worthy couple, Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, have been the talk of the town since their intimate wedding ceremony back in April 2022. However, it’s the behind-the-scenes anecdotes that have fans hooked, especially the lighthearted revelations from their ‘joota churai’ ceremony. Ranbir recently graced ‘The Great Indian Kapil Show’ alongside his mother Neetu Kapoor and sister Riddhima, where he shared these inside stories with the show’s host, Kapil Sharma.
In a heartwarming episode of the comedy talk show, the endearing chaos of weddings took the spotlight. The audience was delighted as Ranbir disclosed the negotiations that took place during the traditional ‘joota chupai’ ritual at his nuptials. Contrary to widespread rumblings, the ‘Animal’ star clarified that the price paid to reclaim his hidden shoes from Alia’s girl gang was not exorbitant. In fact, they settled on an amount that was surprisingly modest. Neetu Kapoor chimed in, verifying that although some cash exchanged hands, the sum was far from steep.
The banter continued with Archana Puran Singh expressing her astonishment upon hearing the minimalistic amount involved, to which Ranbir humorously retorted that given the wedding was at their residence, the worst-case scenario would be the loss of the shoes within the house. The playful interaction brought a wave of laughter, highlighting the close-knit and jovial nature of the Kapoor clan.
Ranbir and Alia’s fairytale wedding was a close-knit affair at Ranbir’s Bandra home, Vastu, marking the culmination of their five-year romance. The couple soon after welcomed their first child, filling their lives with new joy and experiences.
Kapil Sharma, known for his knack to extract candid moments from celebrities, probed further into Ranbir’s personal transformation post-marriage. Neetu Kapoor heartily endorsed that her son had matured, not just as a partner to Alia but also as an attentive and dedicated father to their daughter Raha. An endearing glimpse into the actor’s new life was shared when Ranbir admitted to becoming a burping expert, much to the amusement of his mother and the show’s live audience.
In a touching moment, Neetu mimicked Ranbir’s expression filled with anticipation and wonder each time he lays eyes on young Raha, painting a picture of a father enraptured by his child. Looking ahead, Ranbir eagerly expressed his wish to one day have Raha accompany him on the show, a sentiment warmly echoed by Kapil, who jestingly recounted his own experiences with parenthood.
The show also served as a platform for Ranbir to recount poignant memories of his late father, Rishi Kapoor, including a childhood incident during a Diwali puja that earned him a light reprimand. Such personal stories shared by Ranbir resonated with the audience, offering a glimpse into the actor’s off-screen life and the legacy of one of Bollywood’s most revered families.
The episode of ‘The Great Indian Kapil Show’ mixed laughter with tenderness, as showbiz tales intertwined with the real-life bond of a family. Ranbir Kapoor, with his easy charm, unveiled the lesser-seen side of a celebrity wedding, grounded in tradition, family, and love, inviting fans to witness the man behind the stardom navigating life’s new roles.
As ‘The Great Indian Kapil Show’ abounds with comedy and camaraderie, fans can only anticipate more heartfelt stories and laughter-inducing moments from their favorite stars, delivered by the affable Kapil Sharma and his ensemble cast. The show continues to be a beacon of levity in the world of entertainment, drawing celebrities and audiences alike into its warm embrace.
