Filmmaker Subhash Ghai penned a heartfelt birthday message for Ranbir Kapoor on his 44th birthday, September 28. Ghai revealed a special connection, having directed a then-eight-year-old Ranbir in his musical short film, 'Pyar Ki Ganga Bahe'.
Ghai elaborated on five key reasons for his enduring admiration for Kapoor. These include Ranbir's status as a fourth-generation superstar from the closely associated Kapoor family, his authentic and self-aware personality devoid of star-family pretenses, his demonstrated depth and versatility as an actor, his parentage by Ghai's dear friends Rishi and Neetu Kapoor, and their shared history from the early film.
Ranbir Kapoor's birthday festivities also included his wife, Alia Bhatt, who shared intimate moments on social media. The couple was seen waving from their Mumbai residence, Krishna Raj bungalow. Ranbir later met with paparazzi, cutting three cakes, one marked with the number 44.
Looking ahead, Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt are slated to star together in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Love & War', scheduled for a January 2027 release. Additionally, Ranbir has the highly anticipated 'Ramayana' project in development.
