Ranbir Kapoor Shares the Secret to a Lasting Relationship
On KBC's Diwali special, Ranbir Kapoor explains how friendship, love, trust and respect keep a bond strong, and shares a family ritual since daughter Raha's birth.
For Ranbir Kapoor, a lasting relationship is not held together by one big emotion. It is built on a foundation that begins before romance. Speaking with Amitabh Bachchan on the Kaun Banega Crorepati Diwali special, the actor opened up about what he says keeps a bond strong — and went on to share the family ritual he has followed since daughter Raha was born.
Love, trust and respect — in that order
Ranbir told Bachchan that the root of his relationship, or “neev”, is “dosti”. His larger point was a simple three-part framework: love joins two people, trust strengthens the connection, and respect sustains it over time. The audience in the studio responded with applause.
- Love joins the relationship.
- Trust makes it strong.
- Respect keeps it alive.
The line landed for a reason. It gives fans a clean, repeatable way to think about a celebrity marriage without reducing it to movie-star glamour. It also arrives as Ranbir and Alia Bhatt continue to draw attention as one of Bollywood’s most watched young families.
The family ritual that grounds him
In the same conversation, Ranbir revealed that mornings at home start with Amitabh Bachchan’s rendition of the Hanuman Chalisa. He said there has not been a single day since Raha’s birth when the family did not begin with it.
That disclosure is the more personal half of the interview. A daily ritual, especially one built around a respected figure, often says more about a household than a single public statement. Bachchan’s reply — “Wah, kya baat hai” — kept the moment light but clearly moved him.
The takeaway for anyone, celebrity or not, is the order he gave the values: friendship is the base, trust is the load-bearing wall, and respect is the maintenance that keeps it from crumbling. A relationship can start with attraction, but it survives on those quieter pillars.
What to watch next
The Kaun Banega Crorepati Diwali special airs on October 29 and 30 at 9 PM on Sony Entertainment Television. Sai Pallavi and Ravi Dubey are also part of the conversation, as Sita and Laxman. The Nitesh Tiwari Ramayana adaptation, with Ranbir as Lord Ram, is slated to release on November 5.
If you are watching for the relationship advice, the real line is the shortest one: friendship first.
