Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor are often seen as one of the most adorable couples in Bollywood, embodying true love in today’s world. Their relationship has brought a sense of peace and comfort to both of their lives. However, like any family, they too face their own tension. Recently, a video showed an awkward moment where Alia was ignored by her mother-in-law, Neetu Kapoor, in front of the media.
The incident took place during the Raj Kapoor centenary celebration, where the Kapoor family gathered to honor the legendary actor. Amidst the star-studded event, Alia was seen approaching Neetu Kapoor, following Ranbir’s request for her to stay by Neetu’s side as they walked the red carpet.
Alia called Neetu “mom” and even tried to hold her hand, but Neetu walked past her without acknowledging her attempt.
This left Alia visibly confused by her mother-in-law’s cold reaction.

The video quickly went viral, sparking a flurry of reactions from fans on social media. Many pointed out Neetu’s apparent disregard for Alia. One fan commented, “In family functions, it’s common for a mother-in-law to show a cold attitude towards her daughter-in-law.” Another remarked, “It’s the first time I’ve seen Alia look so uncomfortable.” Others expressed amusement at the ongoing drama within Bollywood families, with some joking about the ongoing tensions between Kapoor and Bachchan families.
In another clip circulating online, Kareena Kapoor Khan was seen attempting to calm down Alia, who appeared visibly stressed. Fans speculated if the two incidents were related.

Earlier this year, Neetu Kapoor had made waves with a controversial comment about “scissors-like” and “needle-like” daughters-in-law. She explained that there are two types of girls: one who breaks up the family and another who helps to mend and keep it together, the latter being the kind she preferred for her son.
There are two kinds of girls, one who comes with scissors, and one who comes with needle. Scissors is the one who breaks the family or jo needle ke sath aati hai that kind off mends the family together, makes sure the family stays together. And that’s the girl I would like.”
Despite this, public interactions between Neetu and Alia have shown both warmth and awkwardness. In a previous video, Neetu affectionately squeezed Alia’s cheeks during a lunch date, though Alia appeared slightly baffled by the gesture but smiled it off.
