Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor are setting major couple goals this Diwali as they prepare to move into their brand-new ₹250 crore mansion in Mumbai's Pali Hill area. This Diwali marks a significant milestone for the couple as they embark on a new chapter in their lives, moving into the six-story bungalow with their daughter, Raha, and Ranbir's mother, Neetu Kapoor.
The couple shared an official statement expressing their gratitude and requesting privacy as they settle into their new home. Their statement read, "Diwali is all about gratitude and new beginnings. As we move into our new home, we are thankful for all the warmth and support you've shown us, and we hope we can continue to rely on your consideration for our privacy and that of our family, home, and wonderful neighbors. Sending you and your family all our love this festive season. Happy Diwali!".
This Diwali is particularly emotional for Alia as it marks their last celebration in their current home in Bandra, where their daughter Raha was born. In an interview with Bombay Times, Alia shared her sentimental feelings, stating, "This is our last Diwali in the home that she (Raha) was born in. So, it's actually a really emotional time". Despite the sadness, she expressed excitement about moving into their new home and feels blessed to have this new chapter in their lives.
Alia also revealed their Diwali plans, sharing that they will be having a Lakshmi Puja at home, followed by gifting presents to their staff. She mentioned that Raha is now aware of Diwali and enjoys the festivities, including dancing to Diwali songs at her preschool. Alia said, "Even in her preschool, they've been playing this Happy Diwali song. And today she was doing the Happy Diwali dance. She really is into this. She loves dancing. It's really just about embracing all those little moments".
Before moving to their new residence, Alia and Ranbir are making the most of their last Diwali at their current home. Alia is "going all out" and plans to celebrate with a close group of friends and family. She reminisced about the balcony where they've shared many evenings, including their wedding and previous Diwali celebrations.
The new Pali Hill home, built on the site of the historic Krishna Raj bungalow, blends legacy with modern luxury. The six-story mansion features world-class interiors, dedicated entertainment zones, and a beautifully landscaped terrace garden. This house will continue the multigenerational tradition, with Neetu Kapoor residing alongside the couple and their daughter, Raha.
On the work front, Alia and Ranbir are currently shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Love And War' with Vicky Kaushal. Alia also has YRF's spy universe movie 'Alpha' with Sharvari, while Ranbir is part of 'Ramayana'.
