Ranbir Kapoor’s cheeky “Cake kidhar hai? banter with paps go viral as he returns with Alia from Honkong

After ringing in her 33rd birthday away from the city lights, Alia Bhatt was spotted returning to Mumbai with husband Ranbir Kapoor in the early hours of March 17. The couple had taken a short break to Hong Kong along with their daughter Raha, choosing a calm and private celebration over the usual glamour. As they exited the airport, the duo looked relaxed yet stylish, clearly still carrying the warmth of their little family getaway. While Alia kept it effortless in a white co-ord set with a pop of red via her cap, Ranbir complemented her vibe in a casual blue tee layered with a black jacket, jeans, and sunglasses.

Ranbir’s playful moment with paparazzi steals the show

The moment quickly turned lively as paparazzi gathered around the couple to welcome them back and wish Alia on her birthday. She responded with a soft smile, acknowledging the greetings with her usual warmth.

Ranbir, on the other hand, added a dash of humor to the scene. In a light-hearted tone, he jokingly asked the photographers if they had brought a birthday cake for Alia. When they laughed it off, he playfully reacted with mock disappointment, making the interaction feel easy and genuine rather than rushed.

Their daughter Raha wasn’t seen in the frame this time, something that didn’t go unnoticed by fans who have been enjoying glimpses of the little one during their travels.

Hong Kong memories go viral; big films ahead

Before their return, photos of the trio from Hong Kong had already taken over social media. From candid moments at a park where they were seen playing with Raha to relaxed street strolls, the pictures painted a picture of simple family joy, far removed from their otherwise busy lives.

On the work front, Alia is gearing up for Alpha, directed by Shiv Rawail, marking a major step as the first female-led film in YRF’s spy universe. She also has Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love and War alongside Ranbir and Vicky Kaushal. Meanwhile, Ranbir is preparing for the much-anticipated Ramayana: Part One.
