So it’s official - Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt are indeed dating each other. We broke this news first in January this year, remember? But an official confirmation does count, so when Ranbir told a media house that he doesn’t want to “overspeak” about his relationship with Alia right now since it’s “really new” and needs time to “breathe” and it “needs space”, everyone’s sort of saying “we told you so”.
So when did Ranbir and Alia start getting cosy? According to a report in Hindustan Times, the chemistry between the two clicked while working for their film Brahmastra in Bulgaria. A source states that Ranbir and Alia “took off to Bulgaria, first for a recce with Ayan and then later for the film’s shoot. They both also spent New Year’s Eve in Bulgaria and Alia’s Instagram (photograph) was proof of their budding friendship”.
Alia wrote, “& its just the beginning...” while sharing this pic.
Since then, there have been three instances where Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt were spotted together at major events which should have confirmed that they were “an item”.
Ranbir and Alia Showed Up Together to See Padmaavat
Alia and Ranbir Came Together for a Special Screening of Raazi

So that’s why everyone’s keeping calm about the hottest new couple on the block making it official... we saw it coming!
