Ranbir Kapoor responds to Alia Bhatt's difficulty with pregnancy: Any kind of criticism is just jealousy

Ranbir Kapoor recently gushed over his wife Alia Bhatt, who has continued to promote her movies and participate in interviews despite the pregnancy. In an interview with NDTV, Ranbir discussed the sexism in all the recent media coverage and how Alia is without a doubt among the most significant performers in the archives of Indian cinema.

He also believes that neither men nor women have the force Alia possesses in the task she has accomplished on the screen as well as the method in which she presents herself, her sense of values, or perhaps the principles she lives by.

Ranbir elaborated by adding, "I think the way she has carried herself through the entire marketing of this film being pregnant, being in the condition that she is - I think you should only be inspired by that. Any kind of criticism is just jealousy, mischief and stupidity - we should not take that seriously."

Ranbir further mentioned how having Alia around improves his quality of life. Ranbir remarked that, in addition to being his wife, he appreciates and idolises her as an actress as well as a woman. The actor even admitted that Alia might be intimidating at times since she is 'rowdy' and can bully others.

Meanwhile, Ranbir and Alia were last spotted in Brahmastra. Ayan Mukerji's Brahmastra Part One: Shiva, the first instalment of a trilogy, debuted on September 9 to lukewarm reviews and yet record-breaking box office earnings. The film's producers are Star Studios, Dharma Productions, Prime Focus, and Starlight Pictures. Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna, and Mouni Roy are also featured in the movie. In the film, Shah Rukh Khan also makes a brief appearance.

On the work front, Ranbir will appear in the film Animal, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. Rashmika Mandanna took Parineeti Chopra's place who bowed out of the movie for reasons unknown. The untitled Luv Ranjan-directed film in which Ranbir will next be seen has Shraddha Kapoor as his co-star.
