Ranbir Kapoor waved at paparazzi from the balcony of his new Pali Hill home on Diwali morning, a rare public moment for the actor who’s been all but invisible since the release of Ramayana: Part 1. The Krishna Raj bungalow — named after his grandparents Raj and Krishna Kapoor, was officially occupied by Ranbir and Alia Bhatt in November 2025, and this year’s Diwali marked their first festive outing from the six-storey residence.

Neetu Kapoor joined them on the balcony, smiling warmly as photographers snapped the family trio. Alia, ever the picture of calm joy, flashed her signature bright smile, while Ranbir blew kisses and wished the press a happy Diwali. No words were exchanged, just waves and grins, a quiet, intimate ritual in the middle of Mumbai’s glittering chaos.

The house, which also houses Neetu’s private floor and rooms for Riddhima Kapoor Sahni and Samara Kapoor, is now the epicentre of one of Bollywood’s most guarded families. Just days before, Alia had taken to Instagram to praise Ranbir’s performance in Ramayana, calling it a labour of love that “some stories are bigger than all of us.” The film has already crossed ₹400 crore in India, overtaking Adipurush, and its success has only sharpened anticipation for Love & War, the next chapter in Ranbir and Alia’s film with Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

That film, set for release on January 21, 2027, will reunite Ranbir, Alia, and Vicky Kaushal after Sanju. But for now, the focus remains on the lights, the laughter, and the quiet pride of a family celebrating Diwali in their own home.
