Bollywood actor Gauahar Khan has come to the defense of her Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year co-star Ranbir Kapoor, who recently faced criticism on social media for allegedly ignoring his wife, Alia Bhatt, at the Raj Kapoor Film Festival in Mumbai.
Gauahar Speaks Out
Taking to Instagram, Gauahar re-shared a fan-posted video titled, The Ranbir Kapoor They Don’t Post About, which depicted moments of Ranbir showing care and affection toward Alia Bhatt and assisting Randhir Kapoor, father of Kareena Kapoor Khan. Gauahar expressed her dismay at the negative portrayal of Ranbir, writing, “Seriously so unfair! I’m glad there are such posts that show how unfair certain posts are, that can unnecessarily put someone in a certain light. Ranbir is a gentleman!”
The video post, originally shared by a fan page, criticized the selective portrayal of Ranbir on social media, stating, “They cut a 2-sec clip out of context and run a whole lot of negative PR with it. Meanwhile, this is the reality.” The post resonated with Alia Bhatt, who liked the video, subtly supporting its sentiment.
Social Media Scrutiny
Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt have often found themselves under intense scrutiny on social media, with a segment of users labeling Ranbir as a “misogynist” and an “unsupportive husband.” The latest controversy follows a viral video where Alia mentioned an incident where Ranbir asked her to wipe off her lipstick, which led to online backlash against him.
Riddhima Kapoor Sahni Responds
Ranbir’s sister, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, also addressed the criticism in an interview with Zoom. She dismissed the negativity, highlighting the love between Ranbir and Alia. “They adore each other. They’ve created the most beautiful ever child, Raha. She is so so adorable. They are amazing parents. So, I don’t think they really care about what people say,” she said.
The Couple’s Journey
Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, who tied the knot in April 2022, are parents to daughter Raha. Despite their strong bond, they remain a focal point for online trolls who often question their relationship dynamics.
Gauahar Khan’s supportive stance has resonated with fans, shedding light on a more compassionate and balanced view of Ranbir Kapoor amidst the controversies.
