Alia on bond with Ranbir

Alia got candid about her bond with her husband Ranbir when she joined Twinkle Khanna and Kajol on an episode of their talk show Two Much With Kajol and Twinkle. Alia came as a guest with actor Varun Dhawan.

Alia described her bond with Ranbir as something beyond the filmy romance. “Ranbir and I have a natural friendship so it was never this like dewy eye or rose tinted glasses sort of relationship. There was a relationship of best friends. Of course I married him for a reason because I think he's wonderful to me and just as a human being. But 100 percent the person I love trolling is him and the person he loves trolling the most is me,” Alia said.

The actor also shared that respect is the most integral part of marriage, mentioning, “Because with respect comes all the other things. Whether it's support or love. Respect to me is the most important thing in a marriage, and in a union.”

During the chat, Alia also spoke about her decision to go for a quiet and private wedding over a lavish affair. “Its just who we are. We are homebodies, very socially awkward and we were like it's our wedding day and we just want the closest people in our lives with us,” Alia revealed.
