Recently, Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor commemorated their wedding anniversary by going away to a peaceful vacation that seemed to be a fabricated full-circuit moment to the Bollywood powerhouse couple. In lieu of the usual high-profile party, the pair chose to go on a private vacation to a posh resort in Ahmedabad- a place that has a strong cinematic connection with Alia.

The destination was a romantic and intentional allusion to the name of a 2014 blockbuster of Alia, 2 States. As soon as the fans pointed it out, the couple was staying in the same heritage house where the wedding scene of the film took place. Alia combined both her professional and personal milestone by going back to the place where her character, Ananya Swaminathan, got married on the screen ten years ago.

According to sources that were intimate with the couple, the trip was meant to be a silent getaway to their hectic filming schedules. Ranbir was reported to have masterminded the details of the stay to surprise Alia so that the itinerary is intimate. The couple was caught playing the widespread lawns and old fashioned architecture of the resort, which was reflected in the style of the film that contributed to the establishment of Alia as a leading lady.

Ranbir and Alia were married in 2022, however, this anniversary trip became a trip of nostalgia as they often share glimpses of their life together afterward. The social media was already flooded with comparisons of the reel life wedding stills of Alia and her real-life anniversary photos. The “special nod” to her past work served as a poignant reminder of how far she has come, both as an actress and a partner.

The couple left behind them a trail of happy fans as they left Mumbai to get on with their new joint project, Love & War. It was not an ordinary vacation, it was a romantic message to a decade of maturity, romance, and the movie magic that initially introduced them to the world stage.
