Ranbir Kapoor's OFFICIAL STATEMENT on the pictures.

New Delhi: Ranbir Kapoor and Mahira Khan's viral pictures from New York have been trending for two days now. Ranbir Kapoor, who is rumored to be dating the Pakistani actress after they appeared together at Global Teacher Prize event in March, talked about the viral pictures and he seemed more perturbed with the fact that Mahira was trolled for smoking and wearing a short dress than the pictures. "I've gotten to know Mahira in a personal capacity over the last few months. She is somebody who I admire and respect, for her achievements and even more for the person she is. It is very unfair the way she is being judged and spoken about. What is also sad is the inequality in judgment just because she is a woman. I request you to stop the negativity and move on with your beautiful god gifted lives. Peace and love," read his statement. "PS: Both smoking and hate are injurious to health," he added.

Hmmm .. so he learnt his lesson from the last leak .. this team he does not wants to get the flak for not speaking out and hence, he is trying to speak up for her.

Personal capacity is probably his codeword for- in my bedroom.

Where is the 'We are just friends having a friendly chat, nothing more!' denial?

These in comparison to the Ibiza leaks were seriously tame, so I understand why people would think otherwise.

He'll get bashed anyway even if he gives appropriate response. 😆 Sensible statement.

Getting such strong Veer Zara vibes now

how kind of the almighty! does he think of himself as God that people will listen to him like obedient bhakts and stop attacking Mahira!?
first he leaked the pics for publicity, now acting like saint.
I really want to know Mahira's take on this.

Am shocked he bothered to respond/defend her. I have a lot of issues with his behaviour/personal life in general but this is a reasonably good start 😆 That said, I really have to appreciate some of Mahira's colleagues. They have gone out of the way to defend her especially Osman. I have new found respect for him after this post-
