Yes, PeepingMoon.com said it first. As early as on January 16. We are talking about the hot buzz doing B-Town of a sizzling connection between two of the industry’s most talented, attractive and likeable actors – Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor. We had said then… “This is such a bittersweet love story that was meant to be. And we are so happy and thrilled to be bringing it to you. We’re talking Ranbir and Alia. Anybody in the industry will now knowingly tell you, they were meant to happen to each other but took their time getting there.”

Just when both were nursing broken relationships and were single again, Ranbir and Alia had been pitched together for the first time in their careers by Karan Johar for Dharma Productions’ Brahmastra. Director Ayan Mukerji described it as a modern day film with ancient Indian values that has romance at its core but with a new flavour. PeepingMoon.com had said… “Brahmastra will also go down as the film that brought Ranbir and Alia together.”

Now the Bollywood press reports, “Hot news! Alia and Ranbir are an item.” “City’s latest sweethearts.” “Best friend Ayan Mukerji played Cupid.” “They were at a leading politician’s SoBo home together on Tuesday evening for a quiet dinner.” The news had a domino effect on other Bollywood configurations. “Ranbir and Mahira have called it quits.” “Alia has dumped Siddharth.” “Varun has gone back to his girlfriend Natasha.” And the musical chairs in Bollywood’s no-so-lonely-hearts club got more exciting as filmi insiders reported about the coupling between two of Bollywood’s hottest singletons.

PeepingMoon.com had reported on January 16, “Ranbir and Alia made a work trip to Israel around the turn of the year with Ayan Mukerji to prep for Brahmastra. And that’s where and when it reportedly happened. There was always a vibe between the young actors and things appear to have escalated when they were by themselves and the rest of the world was joyously ringing in 2018. Now everybody but everybody in Bollywood is hopefully saying it’s looking like they are heading into a relationship.”
