However, Alia recently rubbished such speculations, making it clear that the couple is largely unaffected by the online chatter.
Speaking to Esquire India, Alia addressed the constant noise around their relationship and said, “The noise doesn’t reach us. Because it’s not real. They’re responding to three and a half seconds or seven seconds of what they’re seeing. We’ve been together for seven years. It’s a lot more seconds than people talk about.” She added that while she and Ranbir occasionally laugh at some of the memes made about them, most of them never really register.
Smiling, he commented, “Not even the B for bother comes into our lives. If you’re in a room with fifty people, maybe only four really care about you. The rest may be thinking terrible things, but you can’t hear them.” Emphasizing that online trolling has no relation to her personal life, Alia further reflected, “Is it changing my reality? No. Is it changing my family dynamics? Not at all. Am I living my dream? Yes. Am I going to sleep every day with a grateful heart? One hundred percent.”

She also spoke about the sense of security she feels with Ranbir by her side, adding that she doesn’t feel the need to explain anything to anyone. “As we enter the world, our strongest instinct becomes survival, and when we’re around family, that instinct softens. You feel like everything is okay. Time passes smoothly. You feel protected. The most important thing in life is to be safe. And there’s no safer place for me than being around them.”

In the same conversation, Alia spoke about how parenthood has revealed a more vulnerable side of Ranbir. “He’s a lot more sensitive than he lets on. He’s shy, so he holds back a lot.

He almost turns into a child.” She also recalled that Raha’s birth was marked by exhaustion and vulnerability, and shared that Ranbir took a month off from work even before his daughter arrived and decided to stay home because Alia needed his support.
Alia further spoke about Ranbir’s eagerness to spend time with his daughter: “He would go to shoot and literally run home. He would run straight to the room to see her. His love is so obvious. He can’t help it.”
