Ranbir Kapoor reacts to rumours of 'Brahmastra promo' that floated around Alia Bhatt's pregnancy announcement

Ranbir Kapoor said that Alia Bhatt's pregnancy announcement had no connection with their upcoming film Brahmastra. He also added that there was no other thought to the news.

Actor Ranbir Kapoor is expecting his first child with Alia Bhatt. The couple announced their pregnancy on social media last month and many thought it was a promotional activity for their next film Brahmastra. Breaking silence, Ranbir told Hindustan Times that their personal life has nothing to do with their work front.

During an interview, Ranbir said, “Alia and I, as a married couple, we thought that it would just seem right to tell the world, because we felt it was the right time. We just wanted to share the joy and the news with the world and there was no other thought to it.”

While Alia Bhatt is an avid Instagrammer, Ranbir is yet to make his debut on the social media platform. When asked about joining the social media, he asserted that the new chapter in their lives didn’t compel him to do so. “No, it didn’t compel me at all. I’m very happy at the place I’m at in my life,” he told. “And there was no other idea of joining social media. My stand is the same as it’s been in the last few years,” he added.

It all began on New Year's eve when Alia and Ranbir took a plane to Tel Aviv for Brahmastra workshop. She revealed that a seat that malfunctioned meant they were not able to sit together for a while.

Alia and Ranbir will be starring together for the first time for their much awaited film Brahmastra. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, it will release on September 9.
