As 2025 draws to a close, Bollywood's beloved star couple, Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor, have embarked on a much-anticipated family holiday to ring in the New Year. The actors, along with their young daughter Raha Kapoor, were spotted at the Mumbai airport recently, radiating excitement for their private year-end escape.
A Clean-Shaven Departure Sparks Buzz
The airport sighting offered fans a surprise: Ranbir Kapoor had shaved off the moustache he had been growing for his role in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's upcoming historical drama, Love & War. The actor, who is set to star alongside Alia and Vicky Kaushal in the film slated for a March 2026 release, sported a fresh, clean-shaven look as he prepared for the family vacation. While the exact destination of their trip remains a closely guarded secret, their cheerful demeanor was unmistakable.
Alia Bhatt, ever the protective mother, first ensured their daughter Raha was safely inside the airport terminal away from the cameras. Ranbir, however, paused to acknowledge the waiting paparazzi, giving them a friendly thumbs-up. Alia later re-emerged to greet the photographers warmly, flashing her signature smile, waving, and even blowing a kiss before joining her family.
Festive Celebrations Before the Getaway
This vacation follows a week filled with festive cheer for the Kapoor-Bhatt family. Just before their departure, Alia and Ranbir celebrated Christmas 2025 with both sides of the family. They first enjoyed festivities with Alia's parents and sister, and later attended a joyous gathering with the Kapoor clan, including Ranbir's mother, veteran actress Neetu Kapoor.
Alia shared glimpses of these intimate celebrations on her Instagram, posting pictures from their Christmas party that sent fans into a frenzy. The couple's ability to balance their busy professional lives with cherished family time continues to endear them to the public.
What's Next on the Work Front?
While they enjoy this well-deserved break, both stars have massive projects lined up for 2026. Ranbir Kapoor's pipeline is packed with two major releases: after Love & War, he will be seen in Nitesh Tiwari's epic mythological film Ramayana: Part One, where he portrays Lord Ram. This film is expected to release during Diwali 2026.
On the other hand, Alia Bhatt is gearing up for her next film, Alpha. The actress continues to choose diverse and challenging roles, keeping her audience eagerly awaiting her next on-screen appearance.
Their secretive New Year vacation marks a sweet pause before what promises to be a blockbuster year for both Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor, both personally and professionally.
