In a recent interview, Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt made a surprising revelation about her first celebrity crush. Contrary to popular belief, it wasn’t her now-husband Ranbir Kapoor but rather a Bollywood superstar who has been dominating the box office this year.
During a conversation with InStyle magazine, Alia was asked about her first celebrity co-star. She didn’t hold back and revealed, Shah Rukh Khan. Alia has been candid about her longtime admiration for the iconic actor, even confessing her love for him on an episode of the talk show Koffee With Karan. She expressed that her crush on Shah Rukh has persisted over the years, regardless of her relationship status.
Alia and Shah Rukh have shared screen space in the 2016 film Dear Zindagi, building a warm and wholesome bond. Last year, when Alia welcomed her daughter Raha, Shah Rukh gave her and the little one an adorable shoutout on social media. Their camaraderie has been evident, with their playful banter and mutual admiration.
On the work front, Alia Bhatt recently appeared in the film Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. Although she has achieved great success and popularity in her own right, Alia’s childhood crush on Shah Rukh Khan showcases that she too was once a starstruck fan, just like millions of people around the world.
The entertainment industry is no stranger to celebrity crushes, and Alia Bhatt’s revelation adds a human touch to the glamorous lives of Bollywood stars. It goes to show that even those who have ventured into the industry and worked with their idols still feel the same excitement and awe when it comes to their favorite celebrities.
Alia’s journey from being a fan to rubbing shoulders with Shah Rukh Khan and eventually marrying her long-time crush, Ranbir Kapoor, is a testament to the magic of dreams and destiny. It’s heartening to witness how these stars’ lives intersect and unfold, capturing the imaginations of their fans.
