Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor may only have tied the knot last year, but it seems the duo is already well on its way to dethrone every other Bollywood jodi as the reigning power couple of the Hindi film industry. Case in point: both of them bagged high honours at the Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival awards last night.

Given how amazing Alia’s performance was in numerous films last year, it’s not surprising to see her sweeping awards. Yesterday, Alia not only received the Best Actress award for Gangubai Kathiawadi but also collected one for her husband.
That’s right! Ranbir Kapoor also won the Best Actor award for Brahmāstra, but couldn’t attend the function in person, presumably because he’s currently promoting his upcoming film with Shraddha Kapoor, Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar.
If anyone needed proof that the two are the ultimate powerhouses of talent, this is it!

Ranbir and Alia are both leaders in their shared profession. Ranbir’s acting has been praised and recognised for years now. His performances in films like Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year, Rockstar, Tamasha, Wake Up Sidand now Brahmāstra have all gone on to prove that he can ace a variety of roles effortlessly.
After Raazi, Alia is often called the best actress in the country. Her performances in movies like Darlings, Gully Boy, Dear Zindagi, and Gangubai Kathiawadi have only cemented the fact that she is one of the best actors India has produced.
Together, the new parents are definitely giving competition to other Bollywood couples, while also proving that two actors can have a great relationship and great careers at the same time.

Bollywood has a lot of actors and actresses who met on movie sets and make formidable on screen pairs. Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh are often mentioned among them, owing to their hit collaborations like Ram Leela, Bajirao Mastani, and Padmaavat. Recently, Shershaah co-stars Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani have also entered that space upon getting married to each other.
Clearly, Bollywood audiences love seeing real-life couples together on screen, as was evident with the fan-fervour for John Abraham and Bipasha Basu’s pairing back in the day. So it’s interesting that this trend has only grown, and how the personal and professional have merged in the lives of these creative individuals to result in some of their careers’ best work so far. What remains to be seen is if this trend continues, and if we see more hit Bollywood couples in the future.
