Rishi and Neetu urging Ranbir for marriage is not going to make him marry Alia, because that also requires Alia's consent and that's not happening.
A fake engagement is also not possible, as it'll involve families and relatives. Also Kapoors ain't going to agree with Kjo's drama, only to promote his film.
@bold: I am not so sure.. from both of them, it's Alia that seems more.. hungry for the 'relationship' to be on.. She's the ones waxying lyrical about Ranbit at all places.. the one caught gazing at him adoringly whilst he looks disinterested..
@underlined; not fake.. truly engagement.. with the idea being : Rishi would be happy his son is finally settling down..and with a Top Actress.. the Bhatts also being happy for the Kapoor surname/
-and second underlined: again, if they all agree an engagement would all make look good.. rather than a 'live in' relationship.. cannot see the Kapoors saying no to an Actual engagement.
Neetu seems to be very ... approving of Alia-keeps posting pics etc..
And the Bhatts (soni especially) also seem to push this... 'couople' thing..
And engagememnt would also give a good solution: they could pretend to be 'nearly getting married'... And if later they broke an engagement it wouldn't look as bad as .. say.. a divorce.
