Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor getting married in December 2021?

Bollywood love birds Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor who are dating each other for over three years now are officially set to marry in December this year.

Indian media reports claim that Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt are preparing for a December wedding this year.

One of the sources has confirmed their winter wedding saying, “Ranbir has pushed the Animal shoot to 2022; besides, he has to Shamshera to promote, which releases in March 2022. The buzz is that the two are getting married in December, which is why they’ve kept their date diaries empty, just as Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma had done even as they denied about the wedding before going off to Italy to get married. Hopefully, there’ll be an official announcement, just as the Kapoors normally do.”

Their wedding rumors suggestions are also rolling on social media but the couple is yet to address these reports.

Bollywood’s diva Katrina Kaif, who is in the headlines these days for a rumor to be getting married to Vicky Kaushal, had once shared her wedding plans in an interview with Indian media.

The Tiger 3 actress had once said while talking about the invitations of her wedding, “When you decide to get married and are prepared to tell the world that ‘we are making a commitment, you become comfortable with people talking about it. I want everyone in the world to attend my wedding.”

She further added saying, “A private person [like me] doesn’t like to talk about sensitive and delicate topics like relationship and love. And if that (being silent) is misconceived as arrogance, then it’s the ignorance of that person [who forms such a perception about me].”
