Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor head out of Mumbai for New Year

In a video shared by a paparazzo on Instagram, Ranbir was seen wearing a black tracksuit at the Mumbai airport and carrying a black bag. The actor waved at the paparazzi before heading inside. He turned heads with his clean-shaven look, ditching the moustache he had been sporting for his upcoming film Love & War.

Alia Bhatt was also seen dressed casually. The actor looked excited to spend quality time with her family and was seen greeting the paparazzi with a smile, waving at them and blowing flying kisses before heading inside the airport with Ranbir.

Fans were quick to react to Ranbir’s new look. One comment read, “He looks far better without the moustache.” Another questioned, “Does that mean Love & War shooting is over?” One fan speculated, “He might be going back to Ramayana, Love & War is probably done.” Another comment read, “One of the few actors who looks so good without a moustache or beard,” while another wrote, “He looked better with a moustache.”
