Ranbir Kapoor, a renowned figure in Hindi cinema known for his diverse acting and youthful appeal, stepped into Bollywood with Saawariya in 2007. Today, he stands as one of the industry’s leading actors with a string of successful films like Rockstar, Barfi, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, and Sanju to his credit. Besides his acting prowess, Ranbir’s romantic entanglements with leading ladies of Bollywood were once the subject of much discussion.

Karisma Kapoor’s preference for Sonam Kapoor Before finding his match in Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor’s cousin Karisma Kapoor harbored a desire for him to marry another Kapoor actress.

It turns out Karisma fancied Sonam Kapoor, daughter of Anil and Sunita Kapoor, as a potential sister-in-law. Interestingly, Ranbir and Sonam shared the screen in two films: their debut venture, Saawariya, and the biopic Sanju.

Insights from Sonam Kapoor Sonam Kapoor, during an appearance on Koffee With Karan Season 5 alongside Kareena Kapoor Khan, shed light on the dynamics of her relationship with Ranbir.

Addressing past speculations about a romantic involvement with Ranbir and the prospect of being Kareena’s sister-in-law, Sonam revealed Karisma’s persistent wish for Ranbir to marry her. However, she emphasized their strong friendship, stating,

“I feel Lolo has plugged this. Karisma constantly wants that, but I think Ranbir and I are very very good friends, like better friends.”

Past banter and reconciliations Sonam Kapoor’s camaraderie with Ranbir was evident when she shared the Koffee couch with his former girlfriend, Deepika Padukone, during Season 3. Their banter included Sonam’s jest about Ranbir’s boyfriend qualities and Deepika’s playful suggestion of him endorsing condom brands. Though these remarks reportedly irked Rishi Kapoor, they’ve all moved past those moments.
