Ranbir Kapoor’s recent remarks on marriage have stirred controversy on social media. Speaking on the podcast “People by WTF” with Nikhil Kamath, Kapoor suggested that one should let go of their personality after marriage, a statement that didn’t sit well with many netizens. He also mentioned that his wife, actress Alia Bhatt, has made similar adjustments.
Kapoor’s Remarks on Personality Changes
During the podcast, Kapoor said, “Especially when you’re in a marriage, you have to let go of your personality. She’s also letting go of her personality. We’re adjusting to each other, trying to make it livable for each other. Any marriage is doing that. You have to let go, you have to adjust, you have to sacrifice facets of it. Because it’s impossible for two people to like each other the way they are.”
Social Media Reactions
Kapoor’s comments ignited a wave of criticism on social media platforms. One user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, “This sounds so wrong. Letting go of one’s personality is not at all possible. You cannot be with someone who doesn’t allow you to be yourself. Adjustment and acceptance go hand in hand.” Another tweet read, “Everything I’ve learned about this couple has been against my will. The father of your child wanting you to get rid of your personality…GIRL GET OUT OF THERE.”
Another user commented, “This is a sad, sad existence. This is actually sad for her, and she’s soooo into it too.” Critiquing the perceived change in Bhatt, someone tweeted, “Alia was so bubbly fun when Ranbir was not in her life! She was real and a breath of fresh air then he came, it was almost as if Alia had to tone down her fun side and act all mature. Your man shouldn’t have to change you but should accept you for who you are!” Another tweet echoed, “And people ask me why I consider relationships scary because these types of people do exist. Girl run far, run fast.”
Alia and Ranbir’s Relationship
Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor tied the knot on April 14, 2022, after dating for several years. The couple had an intimate wedding ceremony attended by family and close friends at their Mumbai residence. They welcomed their daughter, Raha Kapoor, on November 6, 2022. The couple publicly posed for a family photo with Raha for the first time during Christmas 2023, marking a memorable moment for their fans.
