Ranbir Kapoor's Hidden Finsta: A Peek into His Private Social Media World
In a surprising revelation, it has come to light that Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor, known for his absence from official social media platforms, actually operates a secret Finsta (fake Instagram) account. This account allows him to discreetly observe online activities without engaging publicly. However, in a twist that has caught fans' attention, he does not permit his wife, actress Alia Bhatt, to follow this private profile.
Why Alia Bhatt Is Kept in the Dark
During a recent episode of the InControversial Podcast, blogger Malini Agarwal, also known as Miss Malini, shared insights into this intriguing dynamic. She explained that Ranbir Kapoor is cautious about maintaining the anonymity of his Finsta account. "Ranbir Kapoor has a Finsta and he doesn't even let Alia follow it because it will be obvious that it's him," Malini stated. The concern is that if Alia were to follow the account, fans might quickly deduce its true ownership, thereby compromising its secrecy.
Ranbir's approach highlights his desire to stay connected with the digital world while avoiding the pressures of public social media presence. Malini elaborated, "He loves to watch what everyone's doing but he doesn't want to be on social media. Everyone has tried to get him on social media, but he doesn't want to have his own social account." This strategy allows him to enjoy the benefits of social media without the associated responsibilities and scrutiny.
Ranbir Kapoor's Confession and Family Moments
This is not the first time Ranbir has addressed his Finsta habits. At a public event in Dubai, he openly admitted to having such an account. He even shared a personal anecdote, revealing that he created a reel with his daughter, Raha, and posted it on this private account. "Actually, on my Finsta account, I did make a reel with my daughter (Raha) and posted it. But I have no followers, so it's just for the air," he said, emphasizing the account's low-profile nature.
During the same event, Ranbir elaborated on his reasons for avoiding official Instagram presence. "Then I'll have a responsibility to really show myself off to the world, and I felt that I already have a medium, which is acting in movies, and that's enough for me to show myself to the world," he explained. This perspective underscores his commitment to his craft over social media fame.
Alia Bhatt's Perspective on the Situation
Alia Bhatt, who was present at the Dubai event, added her own humorous take on the matter. She recounted, "He wouldn't even let me follow him. He's like 'no because if you follow me, everyone will follow me'. So I'm like peeking into his phone. He's got like all of two reels on his finsta account, which only he and maybe two people will see." This light-hearted comment reveals the couple's playful dynamic and Alia's curiosity about her husband's private online activities.
The revelation about Ranbir Kapoor's Finsta account sheds light on the evolving ways celebrities manage their digital footprints. While many stars leverage social media for fan engagement and revenue, Ranbir's choice to remain officially offline, yet privately observant, offers a unique glimpse into the personal strategies of Bollywood's elite.
