Ranbir-Alia to tie the knot on 17 April

Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt to tie the knoted on 17 April. A source close to the Kapoor and Bhatt families revealed, “Alia's maternal grandfather N Razdan is in fragile physical condition and he expressed his desire to see Alia get married to Ranbir. Mr Razdan has also grown quite fond of Ranbir and loves him a lot.”

"Alia's grandfather N Razdan wanted to see her getting married to Ranbir. A hush hush wedding has thus been planned on April 17 which will be a close knit family affair. The ceremony will be held at RK Studios and nothing extravagant has been planned yet," the source informed, reports The Etimes.

But the source explained to ETimes that the marriage function will be a small and private family affair between the families. The wedding will be either a single day or at max, a 2-day affair featuring close family members only.

For now, both Ranbir and Alia are working out the logistics of the RK Studio site in Chembur, where the function will take place. There have been no confirmations because the couple is checking with close family members for their availability and trying to align a day where all of the close relatives can come together.

Finally the source said, “This function does not need to be an extravagant affair because for both families, Ranbir and Alia have been as good as married already. This is a small get-together and celebration to fulfill the wish of Alia’s grandfather.”
