New Delhi: Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor on Friday said 2022 was a memorable one for him as he tied the knot with Alia Bhatt and now has two back-to-back releases.
At a press conference here, Kapoor was asked if two of his films “Shamshera” and “Brahmastra: Part One Shiva” were a wedding gift for his fans.
“It’s a big year for me. It’s a great year for me, I got married, it’s a beautiful thing that has happened in my life,” Kapoor told reporters.
The 39-year-old actor then referred to a dialogue from his 2013 “Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani”.
“I used to say, in my films, that shaadi (marriage) is like dal chawal for pachaas saal (50 years) till you die. Arey life mein thoda bahut kheema pav, tangdi kebab, hakka noodles bhi hona chahiye na.
“But after my experiences in life, I can say that dal-chawal is the best. My life is best with Alia. My life has dal-chawal with tadka, pickle and onion, it has everything. So I couldn’t have asked for a better life partner, said Kapoor.
The Bollywood star married Bhatt, 29, in an intimate wedding ceremony in April this year.
The actor said Bhatt has seen the teaser of ‘Shamshera’ but has not yet seen the trailer of the film as he is in London.
Bhatt is currently shooting for her first Hollywood film “Heart of Stone”, which stars Gal Gadot. The spy film is directed by Tom Harper.
Kapoor, whose last release was 2018’s “Sanju”, assured fans that he would be seen in more films.
“I have a lot of work to do now, earlier I was working for myself, now I want to have my own family and work for my family,” the actor said.
Starring Sanjay Dutt and Vaani Kapoor, “Shamshera” is directed by Karan Malhotra and backed by Yash Raj Films.
The film is set to release in IMAX theaters on July 22 in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
