There’s definitely a bit of cultural hypocrisy here because a lot of A list celebs lived together before getting married including Alia and Ranbir and were very open about it. But having a child out of wedlock is still a no no for a lot of them. I think there’s a sense that family reputation cannot stand for having a child out of wedlock. So while theoretically Ranbir didn’t have to marry Alia as this is the 2020s and he could have just said I’ll be a father but not a husband, in reality the scion of the Kapoor Khandan could never not legally and religiously acknowledge his own child, another Kapoor offspring. This is a more general take on the subject. Ranbir specifically also had/has a reputation of being a player, cheater, and one that cannot and will not be a good partner. Imagine if someone with that kind of image had said that he would not marry his pregnant girlfriend of five years. I don’t care how good his PR is, or how big of a last name Kapoor is, him and his career would have never gotten past that. So it may or may not be true that Alia trapped him (we can all have our personal opinions on the matter) but once she got pregnant he was done for.
Agreed with a good amount of what you said. But the way I see it
- having a child out of wedlock may still be taboo, but at least those of us who know better shouldn't fixate on it
- especially not Tapsee, for someone who claims to be a feminist, this joke was in poor taste
- accusing someone of trapping a guy through pregnancy is a serious accusation and should not be made unless there is cold hard proof
- someone who has a reputation of being a player and cheater would go the extra mile to avoid pregnancy and ensure their lifestyle, IMHO there is more to it

My theory is that when Alia got pregnant they were encouraged to marry. I don't think Alia or Ranbir had marriage on their minds until others told them it might be a good idea.
