Ranbir Kapoor reveals a fan went to the extreme by marrying his bungalow gate
Ranbir Kapoor enjoys a massive global fanbase, with admirers willing to go to great lengths just to catch a glimpse of him. In a recent interview with Mashable India, the actor recounted a surprising incident where a woman arrived at his family’s bungalow with a priest and performed a wedding ceremony, marrying the gate of his home. Ranbir humorously added that he is still waiting to meet his ‘first wife.’ He shared:
“I wouldn’t say craziest as it is used in a negative way but I remember when I started like in early years. There was a girl and I never met her but my watchman told me that she came with a pandit and married my gate. At the bungalow I used to live with my parents and there was some tika on the gate and some flowers. I was out of town at that time I think so that was quite crazy. I haven’t yet met my first wife yet so I look forward to meeting you at some point.”

At the time, Ranbir was on the show promoting Highway alongside her. She later shared a moment from when they were on a flight together while heading for the shoot of Brahmāstra, recalling the experience.
“When I was single after a very long time, everyone around me, my sis and friends said you and he (Ranbir) are going to be together. We talked about it on our flight. We were seated together and then something went wrong with his seat. Later his seat got fixed and when we exchanged notes. The vibe started there only and the rest is history.”
