Alia Bhatt hinted that she has changed her name following her marriage to Ranbir Kapoor. The actors married in April 2022, and welcomed daughter Raha Kapoor months later. During a recent appearance on The Great Indian Kapil Show, Alia surprised her fans as she introduced herself as 'Alia Bhatt Kapoor' for the first time as she interacted with Sunil Grover on the show.
Ranbir Kapoor and mom-actor Neetu Kapoor were also part of the edited promo that was shared by Netflix on Instagram with the caption, "Bhatt-er pick your sides for this face-off..." Alia will be seen promoting her upcoming movie Jigra, while Ranbir and Neetu had come on the show earlier this year.
What exactly happened
In a humorous interaction with Sunil Grover, who was dressed as his character Dafli, the topic of Alia’s name came up. Sunil, in his typical quirky fashion, addressed her as 'Alia Bhatt', after which Alia corrected him, saying, "It’s Alia Bhatt Kapoor."

Fans wonder if Alia is joking
Many took to the comments section of the new promo and wondered if Alia was joking in a light-hearted moment or has she really joined the ranks of other Bollywood actors, who changed their names after marriage.
While Aishwarya Rai became Aishwarya Rai Bachchan after her marriage to Abhishek Bachchan, Priyanka Chopra took on the surname Jonas and used Priyanka Chopra Jonas on social media after marrying singer Nick Jonas. Kareena Kapoor also changed her name to Kareena Kapoor Khan after her marriage to Saif Ali Khan.
An Alia Bhatt fan commented on The Great Indian Kapil Show promo, hinting the actor was only joking, "Awesome acting..." Another said, "The moment we all were waiting for..." A fan also asked, "Whyyyyyyyyyyy?" A comment also read, “If you remove both last names, who are you?”
Apart from Jigra co-starring Vedang Raina, Alia has several projects lined up. She will star in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love and War alongside Ranbir and Vicky Kaushal. Alia is also set to appear in Alpha as a spy alongside Sharvari Wagh.
