Anushka Sharma and Ranbir Kapoor’s camaraderie was one of the highlights of the Ae Dil Hai Mushkil promotions in 2016. While chatting with Mastiii, the two spilled some candid details about their friendships and relationships. During one particularly fun segment, Ranbir casually dropped a bombshell — Anushka is the “champion” of friend-zoning people!
Ranbir didn’t stop there. He revealed that one of Anushka’s actor friends had actually fallen for her, but she had friend-zoned him. The revelation left Anushka surprised, but she quickly offered some perspective. She said that growing up in an army household — her father was in the army — she had always had male friends. For her, it was natural to bond with both boys and girls, and she’d never looked at friendships through a gendered lens.
Ranbir said, “Accha, iske saath mujhe pata hai, jo acchi dosti dosti mein unko isse pyaar ho gaya hai. Aur unhone [Anushka] bola ki, ‘Nahi yaar, aisa kuch nahi, main dost hee hoon (Well, I know someone who, while being good friends, fell in love with her. But she [Anushka] told him, ‘No, it’s nothing like that, we’re just friends)’.” He added, “Main sirf yeh bolunga ke uska bhi surname Kapoor hai (I’ll just say this — his surname is also Kapoor).”
A surprised Anushka then reacted, saying, “Main na army background se aati hoon actually. Toh kya hai ke hum log… Meri aisa hi nahi thi ki meri ladkiya hi friends thi. Hum log kitchen sets ke saath khelte the sirf aisa nahi tha. Toh hum log matlab… ladhko ke saath bhi khelte the (I actually come from an army background. So, the thing is, it wasn’t like I only had girlfriends. It wasn’t just about playing with kitchen sets. We also used to play with the boys).”
On the personal front, Anushka Sharma married Indian cricketer Virat Kohli in December 2017 in a private ceremony in Italy. They had been dating for a few years before tying the knot. In January 2021, they welcomed their daughter, Vamika and in February 2024, a boy, Akaay Kohli. The couple has since been enjoying their life as parents, mostly in London, while keeping their personal lives mostly private.
Ranbir Kapoor, on the other hand, is married to actress Alia Bhatt and they have a daughter, Raha Kapoor.
