An archived clip featuring Alia Bhatt recently resurfaced online, shedding light on why Ranbir Kapoor often appears solemn in photographs. The actress also divulged who holds the key to coaxing laughter and smiles from the actor.

Alia Bhatt, a beloved couple with Ranbir Kapoor in Bollywood, tied the knot in 2022 following a courtship of several years.

The same year, they welcomed their daughter, Raha, into the world. Despite frequently showcasing their affectionate bond, some online voices suggest a lack of chemistry between them. In the aforementioned video, Alia elaborated on why Ranbir’s demeanor seems somber in pictures.

During a promotional event for her film “Darlings,” Alia was asked whether Ranbir laughs or smiles at home, prompted by observations of his solemn expressions in photos. She explained that Ranbir’s naturally deep-set eyes lend a serious or melancholic air to his appearance in photographs.

Further into the conversation, Alia shared personal anecdotes, likening her own occasional stern expression to Ranbir’s seemingly glum visage. She emphasized that Ranbir is, in fact, often jovial and that she plays a significant role in eliciting his laughter and smiles, saying:

“Basically, he has those sunken eyes which make him look either serious or sad but that is just his face. Like very often, people tell me I look tensed with my frown-focused face, but that’s just how I am. That’s just his face. Ranbir is always smiling and laughing, but maybe you can say I am the one who makes him laugh and smile.”

The video sparked varied reactions from viewers. Some expressed skepticism about the stability of Ranbir and Alia’s relationship, while others praised Alia’s graceful response to the query. However, a few criticized Alia’s tendency to elaborate excessively.

In a separate incident, Alia Bhatt addressed perceptions of Ranbir Kapoor as a ‘toxic’ husband, stemming from his disapproval of her bold lipstick choices during their courtship. She countered this narrative by sharing an endearing photo with Ranbir, labeling him her ‘happy place’ where she can be her authentic self.

Additionally, during a recent promotional event in London for her movie “Poacher,” Alia donned a black saree, exuding vintage vibes. However, she humorously acknowledged criticisms of her ‘loud’ personality, prompting comparisons to Ranbir’s earlier remarks about her being ‘loud.’
