As Alia Bhatt’s 32nd birthday approaches on March 15, 2025, she and husband Ranbir Kapoor were spotted heading to Alibaug for a relaxing getaway. The couple appears to be eager to celebrate this special occasion with each other.

In a viral video, Alia looked radiant in a peach kurti, white trousers, and beige jootis with heels while walking toward the port. Her effortless style was complemented by Ranbir, who donned a chic beige co-ord set and accessorized with brown sunglasses. Together, they exuded a casual yet fashionable vibe as they made their way to their destination.

Before their Alibaug trip, Alia and Ranbir were seen celebrating her upcoming birthday with the paparazzi. They took the time to engage with photographers, discussing their ongoing and upcoming projects, including “Love and War” and the highly anticipated “Brahmastra 2.” Their cheerful demeanor showed how they enjoy their interactions with the media.

During the conversation, the couple expressed their desire to maintain privacy for their daughter, Raha, emphasizing their commitment to protecting her from public attention. They articulated the importance of keeping her life away from the spotlight, prioritizing her well-being above all.

On the day of her birthday celebration, Alia shared a heartwarming moment with the paparazzi by cutting a two-tier cake. Her face lit up with joy as she celebrated with those around her. After enjoying the first slice, she sweetly shared it with Ranbir, who responded with a tender kiss on her forehead. In a playful moment, he dabbed some frosting on her nose, prompting Alia to giggle in delight.

Discussing her current work, Alia shared that she, Ranbir, and director Sanjay Leela Bhansali are currently shooting at night for Bhansali’s latest film. She explained, “We shoot at night and are mum and dad during the day. It’s an interesting combination. There’s no distraction, no noise, and we can focus on our scenes.” Working with Sanjay again has brought her joy, and she noted, “He makes you feel great; this is just the beginning.”

At the end of their interaction, the couple sincerely requested the paparazzi to respect their wishes regarding Raha’s privacy, reaffirming their dedication to her well-being.

One film that has recently stirred considerable buzz in the box office arena is Sanam Teri Kasam, originally released in 2016, which features Harshvardhan Rane alongside Pakistani actress Mawra Hocane.

The romantic drama saw a remarkable resurgence and became a sensation upon its re-release, outperforming other contemporary films such as Loveyapa and Badass Ravi Kumar. It even made its way back to screenings in the UK, showcasing its enduring appeal.

Harshvardhan Rane expressed his gratitude towards audiences for the love and support received for Sanam Teri Kasam, emphasizing the timeless nature of love stories. In discussing Deewaniyat, he conveyed his excitement, stating, “The power of a love story is eternal, and when I heard the madness, passion, and craziness of the role and script of Deewaniyat, I immediately chose it to be my next film.” This quote illustrates the actor’s commitment to exploring deep emotional narratives, which audiences are sure to appreciate in this new project.
