Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor, one of Bollywood's most beloved couples, recently charmed fans and paparazzi alike with a heartwarming gesture. The couple's respectful and considerate behavior towards the photographers has won them accolades across social media, further solidifying their reputation as down-to-earth celebrities.
The incident occurred outside Sanjay Leela Bhansali's office in Mumbai. Alia and Ranbir were spotted leaving the premises, where they had seemingly been engaged in a meeting. As they made their way to their vehicle, they were greeted by a throng of paparazzi eager to capture their photos.
Dressed in coordinating casual outfits, Alia and Ranbir both looked effortlessly stylish. Ranbir sported a moustache and stubble, while Alia opted for a simple white t-shirt and jeans. The couple paused to acknowledge the photographers, offering smiles and waves. Ranbir then pulled Alia closer to him, a sweet gesture that made her blush.
However, what truly captured the hearts of onlookers was the couple's genuine concern for the paparazzi's well-being. Ranbir was seen asking "sab theek hai?" (Are you all okay?) and also telling them to take care. Alia, displaying equal concern, reminded the photographers to wear masks, a gentle reminder of the ongoing health precautions.
This isn't the first time the couple has shown consideration for the paparazzi. In March 2025, Alia and Ranbir met with the Mumbai paparazzi to discuss several topics, including the privacy of their daughter, Raha. They requested the photographers to avoid taking or promoting unauthorized images of their child. The couple acknowledged the paparazzi as being like family and stated they didn't want to take any legal action, but they would if their requests were repeatedly ignored. They also requested that if the paparazzi were to get a picture of Raha, to hide her face with an emoji before sharing it on social media.
The couple's latest interaction stands in stark contrast to an incident in October 2024, when Ranbir Kapoor appeared to lose his temper with paparazzi after Soni Razdan's birthday dinner. Videos surfaced showing Ranbir shooing away cameras and questioning their behavior. While some fans defended Ranbir's protective instincts, others criticized his reaction.
Despite the occasional tense encounter, Alia and Ranbir have generally maintained a cordial relationship with the paparazzi. Their recent gesture of concern serves as a reminder of their humanity and respect for the individuals who document their lives. It’s these moments of genuine connection that resonate with fans, showcasing the couple's down-to-earth nature amidst the glitz and glamour of Bollywood.
