Ranbir Kapoor recently shared a fun story from the 2016 Ae Dil Hai Mushkil promotions about Anushka Sharma’s unique ability to "friend-zone" people. He revealed that one of her actor friends had fallen for her, but she rejected him, humorously adding, “Main sirf yeh bol dunga uska bhi surname Kapoor hai.” Anushka explained that growing up in an army family, she naturally had male friends and never viewed friendships through a gendered lens. The conversation sparked laughter, with Anushka recalling her childhood, where she played with boys and girls alike.

On the personal front, Anushka married cricketer Virat Kohli in 2017, and they have two children, Vamika and Akaay. Ranbir Kapoor is married to actress Alia Bhatt, with whom he has a daughter, Raha.
