The internet is abuzz with speculation surrounding Alia Bhatt's official adoption of her husband Ranbir Kapoor's surname. The rumours gained traction after the actress's recent appearance on 'The Great Indian Kapil Show'.

Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor tied the knot in April 2022, and months later, they welcomed their daughter, Raha Kapoor. While Alia has often been referred to as Alia Bhatt Kapoor in media circles and by fans, she had not publicly used the name herself until recently.

In a promotional clip for the second season of Kapil Sharma's Netflix show, Alia corrected Kapil after he referred to her as Alia Bhatt, stating, "My name is not Alia Bhatt anymore; it's Alia Bhatt Kapoor." This declaration has been widely interpreted as the actress officially adopting her husband's surname, solidifying her identity as part of the Kapoor family.

The actress had previously expressed her desire to take on the Kapoor surname. She mentioned that she "didn't want to feel left out" when traveling with Ranbir and their daughter, Raha, and wanted to share the family name. This sentiment further fueled speculation that the official change was imminent.

The announcement has generated considerable buzz among fans and media, seen as a testament to the couple's strong bond. Social media platforms are flooded with comments and reactions, with many congratulating Alia on embracing her new identity. Some fans see it as a symbolic gesture, representing her commitment to her marriage and family.

Alia is currently promoting her upcoming film 'Jigra', which is slated to release on October 11, 2024. She is also involved in other projects, including 'Alpha', a spy thriller, and 'Love & War', where she will reunite with Ranbir Kapoor on screen alongside Vicky Kaushal. The release date for 'Love & War' has been postponed to March 20, 2026.

In other news, Alia and Ranbir's new six-story bungalow in Bandra is nearing completion. The couple, along with their daughter Raha and Ranbir's mother, Neetu Kapoor, have been frequently spotted overseeing the construction. They are expected to move into the new house soon, carrying on the family's legacy at the Krishna Raj bungalow, which has been under construction for several years.

The couple recently celebrated their third wedding anniversary on April 14, with Alia sharing a loved-up picture on social media. The post received an outpouring of love from family and friends, including Kareena Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor.
