Ranbir Kapoor talks about Alia Bhatt winning Dadasaheb Phalke Award, ‘Pathaan’s massive success and more

Actor Ranbir Kapoor is busy promoting his forthcoming film ‘Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar’. In a recent media interaction, the actor talked about his wife Alia Bhatt winning the Dadasaheb Phalke Award, invasion of her privacy and ‘Pathaan’s massive success.

Ranbir, who himself was honoured with a Dadasaheb Phalke Award for Best Actor for his performance in ‘Brahmastra’, said that while was grateful for the award, he did not think he ‘fully deserved’ the honour. He added that he was glad that Alia won the award for ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’

While mentioning his favourite three performances from the last couple of years, he said that he liked Allu Arjun’s work in ‘Pushpa’, Alia’s work in ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’ and SS Rajamouli’s film ‘RRR’.

Ranbir also reacted to invasion of Alia Bhatt’s privacy in his absence and said that he’s very upset. The actor said he has maintained a good relationship with all the shutterbugs and he showed them their daughter Raha Kapoor’s first picture and insisted they do not click on her. However, the media outlet sent their paparazzi to cover Alia and to get a glimpse of Raha in their house which is unacceptable.

Ranbir was also questioned about the mediocre box office performance of various Hindi films and he instantly replied, ‘Kya baat kar rahi hai? Pathaan ki collection dekhi nahi? (What are you saying? Have you not seen Pathaan’s collection)?’ Ranbir then proceeded to ask the journalist which publication they were from and as they replied BBC, Ranbir joked, ‘Abhi toh aapke bhi kuch chal rahe hai na aajkal, uska kya? Pehle woh jawab do (I think something is going on with your company these days. What about that, you tell me first).’

Ranbir Kapoor’s ‘Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar’, co-starring Shraddha Kapoor, will release on March 8. In August, he will be seen in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s ‘Animal’ alongside Rashmika Mandanna.
