In a revelation that has set social media abuzz, Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor has finally confirmed long-standing rumors about his presence on Instagram. The actor, who has famously stayed away from official social media platforms, admitted to maintaining a secret private account during a recent public appearance in Dubai.
The Big Confession: Ranbir's 'Finsta' Account
During an engaging Q&A session at a real estate brand event in Dubai, Ranbir Kapoor addressed the question that has intrigued his fans for years: why does he avoid social media? The actor provided a surprising answer, revealing that he does indeed have a private Instagram account that he uses exclusively to follow interesting people.
"I don't want the responsibility of being officially on Instagram," Ranbir explained. "I feel I already show myself through my films. But yes, I do have a private account." The actor described his approach to social media as purely observational, using the platform to watch and follow amazing people without the pressure of maintaining a public profile.
Alia Bhatt Shares Adorable Details
The conversation took an even more interesting turn when Alia Bhatt joined in, sharing charming details about her husband's secret social media habits. Alia revealed that Ranbir's private account contains only two reels, and both feature him playing with their daughter, Raha.
In a playful moment that delighted the audience, Ranbir joked about not allowing Alia to follow his private account. "Once Alia follows me, it will be out that I have an Instagram account," he said with humor. The actor further disclosed that he maintains complete privacy on the platform with zero followers and prefers showing videos to Alia manually rather than through the app.
Couple's Rare Public Appearance and New Home
The Dubai event treated fans to a rare glimpse of the usually private couple's chemistry on stage. Alia Bhatt, stunning in a vintage Bob Mackie gown, joined Ranbir Kapoor, who appeared in high spirits wearing a sharp suit. The couple danced together, with Ranbir performing to his hit song Badtameez Dil while Alia matched his energy with her popular track What Jhumka?
During the interactive session, Ranbir showcased his playful side by improvising a dramatic scenario where he asked the crowd to react as if "the love of your life is leaving for Abu Dhabi." He demonstrated slow-motion expressions and dialogue delivery, revealing a more unguarded personality than fans typically see.
Alia also spoke about their recent move into their new six-storey Pali Hill home, Krishna Raj, named after Ranbir's late grandmother. The bungalow has joined the ranks of Mumbai's landmark celebrity residences alongside Shah Rukh Khan's Mannat and the Bachchan family's Jalsa.
"Coming to Dubai feels like a homecoming," Alia shared. "We've just moved into our new home in Mumbai, so this trip feels personal." The couple's new residence houses Ranbir, Alia, their daughter Raha, and Ranbir's mother Neetu Kapoor.
Photos and videos from the Dubai event have since gone viral across social media platforms, generating renewed excitement about Ranbir Kapoor's confirmed but elusive Instagram presence and giving fans a cherished look at one of Bollywood's most beloved couples in a relaxed, joyful setting.
