Ranbir Kapoor Proudly Films Alia Bhatt As She Accepts National Film Award 2023; Video Goes Viral

Alia Bhatt accepted the Best Actress award at the National Film Award 2023 ceremony and Ranbir Kapoor was brimming with pride. The 69th National Film Awards ceremony took place on Tuesday in New Delhi. Alia won the Best Actress award for Gangubai Kathiawadi, sharing the honour with Kriti Sanon for Mimi. As she walked up on stage, Ranbir was seen proudly filming Alia’s memorable moment.

Seated in the audience behind Waheeda Rahman, Ranbir was seen holding up his phone and recording Alia. The actress accepted a medal and a certificate from the President of India, Droupadi Murmu. The video of Ranbir recording Alia and the actress accepting her award has now gone viral.

Alia Bhatt opted to wear her wedding saree for the special day. Earlier in the day, Alia Bhatt walked on the red carpet of the event with Ranbir Kapoor by her side. While the host insisted Ranbir joins Alia in the interview, an awkward Ranbir slowly moved away from the frame, letting Alia be in the spotlight.

Speaking with the host, Alia said, “There is a lot of gratitude in my heart to get the opportunity to portray such beautiful character, so wonderfully imagined by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. I am really missing him today. He is a person I have always looked up to and I will never stop thanking him for what he has given me.”

The National Award winners were announced in August. At the time, Alia shared a picture in which she recreated her Gangubai pose and wrote a moving note. “To Sanjay Sir.. To the entire crew.. To my family.. To my team & last but most definitely not the least. To my audience.. ♥️ This national award is yours .. because without you ALL none of this would be possible.. seriously!!! I am SO grateful .. I do not take moments like these lightly.. I hope to continue to entertain for as long as I can.. Love and light.. Gangu (also known as alia) P.S – Kriti ..
