 “I remember in January 2020, when I had gone to meet Rishi Kapoor at his home to invite him to receive ‘WWI Maestro award 2020’ at our annual convocation of Whistling Woods International. We had a long chat as good friends,” Ghai explained.“He was so happy to share with me that they were planning his son Ranbir’s marriage with Alia in December 2020 in a big way,” he said. 

“I am so happy that Ranbir and Alia are finally fulfilling his dream. I wish both a happy married life, the way I always did for Rishi and Neetu Kapoor,” the filmmaker added.

On Thursday, Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor tied the knot at Vastu, the ‘Sanju’ actor’s Bandra residence. Sharing snippets from the wedding, Bhatt wrote, “Today, surrounded by our family and friends, at home … in our favourite spot – the balcony we’ve spent the last 5 years of our relationship – we got married.”

“Thank you for all the love and light during this very momentous time in our lives. It has made this moment all the more special,” she added.
