Ranbir Kapoor marked his birthday on September 28 with a flurry of Instagram love. His wife, Alia Bhatt, uploaded a carousel of six pictures, each captioned simply with “HBD cutie.” The first snap shows the pair perched on a patterned armchair surrounded by houseplants, Ranbir relaxed in Alia’s lap. A second frame catches him at a restaurant table in a navy sweater and cap, while Alia peeks from the foreground. A third image, taken from above, frames the actor in a grey hoodie, Yankees cap, sunglasses, jeans and boots, looking up at the camera.

And the carousel doesn’t shy away from fatherhood. One picture features Ranbir seated on a maroon leather chair cradling baby daughter Raha, whose face is hidden behind a pink flower sticker – a sweet nod to privacy. The remaining shots swing between styled glamour – Alia in an ivory embroidered gown, Ranbir in a black suit – and a candid selfie that brings the mood back to relaxed intimacy.

Soothing the visual treat, Neetu Singh, the veteran actress and Ranbir’s mother, posted an Instagram story with a picture of the two together. Her caption reads, “Happy happy to you Rana / you are mine and I feel blessed.” The message, simple yet affectionate, added a maternal layer to the day’s celebrations.

Beyond the personal moments, the birthday landed at a busy crossroads for Kapoor’s career. He is slated to appear as Lord Rama in the first part of Nitesh Tiwari and Namit Malhotra’s two‑part Ramayana, slated for a Diwali 2026 release. The epic will also feature Sai Pallavi and Yash, with the sequel promised for Diwali 2027.

And the actor will soon reunite with Alia on screen after their blockbuster Brahmastra. The pair joins Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s period drama Love & War, which also stars Vicky Kaushal. The film is set to hit theatres on January 21, 2027.

Fans have been quick to flood the comment sections with birthday wishes, memes, and speculation about the upcoming projects. The Instagram carousel has already amassed thousands of likes, while Neetu’s story sparked a wave of nostalgic posts about Ranbir’s early films.

While the birthday posts are personal, they also double as subtle promotion for the actor’s looming slate. Each image, whether casual or polished, offers a glimpse of the man behind the upcoming mythic roles. As the festive season approaches, the industry will be watching how Ramayana and Love & War perform, especially after the buzz generated by these intimate social media moments.

The next big public appearance for Ranbir is expected at the Ramayana launch event later this year, where he will likely address both his mythic role and his real‑life milestones. Until then, fans can replay the birthday carousel, share the mother‑son story, and count down to the January release that promises another chapter in the Kapoor‑Bhatt on‑screen partnership.
