Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor
In this age of Bollywood celebrities interacting with their fans on social media, Ranbir Kapoor is one such star, who has always managed to keep himself locked in his cocoon.
Just like many of his fans, it seems that Ranbir's girlfriend Alia Bhatt is eagerly waiting for the actor to make the official Instagram debut. However, if he will ever think to give a special entry on the photo-sharing platform, unlike us, he won't need to scratch his head for the bio.
Alia, who is currently dating her Brahmastra co-star Ranbir, already has the coolest Instagram bio for him and the following video says it all.

On a chat show of Filmfare, the Kalank actress was joined by her co-star Varun Dhawan for Q and A round.
Keeping in mind that both Alia and Varun are absolute social media addicts, the show host made sure to ask these two, some interesting Instagram bios for your favourite movie stars.
When the show host asked about the bio for Ranbir Kapoor, Varun looked at Alia and joked, ''Aap boliye, unke baare main jo bolna hai, boliye na.''
Reacting on Varun's comment, Alia couldn't stop blushing for a while. However, later on she suggested 'Nadaan Parinda' for boyfriend Ranbir's bio, referring to his song from the film Rockstar.
This has made us wonder how Ranbir, who gave one of the finest performances in Imtiaz Ali's Rockstar (2011) as Jordan, must have reacted on this sweet gesture.
Later in the video, the list of naming Instagram bios for Bollywood stars included Disha Patani, Shah Rukh Khan, Aditya Roy Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, Arjun Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan.
Rumour has it, that the lovebirds Ranlia (as their fans call it) might tie the knot in 2020.

Though Ranbir is still left to set his foot on Instagram, in an interview to a journalist Rajiv Masand, the actor had earlier revealed that he keeps an eye on what is happening with people.
On the work front, Alia and Ranbir will be sharing screen space in the upcoming film Brahmastra for the first time ever.
Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the film is set to release this Christmas.

A lot of absurd cases because of drunk passengers on flight have come to light lately. But a recent case that happened in an American Airline took the cake.
An intoxicated woman on a Spirit Airline flight flying from Orlando to Newark on March 27, 2019, threw a major tantrum when she was asked to switch off her phone before take off.
The video that is captioned, "An alleged intoxicated woman literally showed her ass on a Spirit Airlines flight and flashed passengers after she was asked to power down her cellphone before takeoff," shows the entire incident.
Most of the passengers on the flight took out their phones and started recording the incident. When the unidentified woman realised that she was being recorded, she became rowdier.
The video shows the woman yelling in the aisle and things took turn for worse when she shouted, "Record all you f****ng want," as she turned around and flashed the passengers as she twerked for a few seconds.
She is also seen shouting abuses at another woman in the flight.
At the end of the video, the entire flight is seen cheering as the woman takes out her stuff from the overhead bin and proceeds to leave the flight.

PM Narendra Modi biopic stalled by Election Commission. No release on April 11?

The Election Commission has ordered a stay on the release of PM Narendra Modi biopic, the Vivek Oberoi-starrer film that was all set to hit the screens on April 11.

The Election Commission has ordered a stay on the release of PM Narendra Modi, the biopic on the Indian Prime Minister. The Vivek Oberoi-starrer film was supposed to release on April 11.
The Election Commission order says, "The Election Commission of India has announced General elections 17th Lok Sabha 2019 on 10th March 2019 and from the date of announcement of the elections, the model code of conduct (MCC) has come into operation. The MCC is an umbrella code, developed in consultation with the political parties, facilitates level playing field to all the political parties and the candidates and it inter-alia seeks to ensure that the power of media is not used in such a manner which affects the general conduct and level playing field during the electoral process."
"It has come to the notice of the commission that certain political contents (sic) which are not in conformity with the model code of conduct are being displayed or intended to be displayed to the public through electronic media including cinematograph in the public, which relates to either a candidate or a political party or a specific achievement of the party in power and these are displayed with the purpose of furtherance of electoral gains during the period of MCC."
The EC order goes on to say, "As these contents are incorporated in the storyline/scheme of the programmes being shown and there would be difficulty in proving the payment of money, they may not fall under the category of 'advertisement' strictly and may remain outside the purview of MCMC certification requirement, thereby evading the directive given by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Secretary, Ministry of Information and Broadcasting vs M/s Gemini TV."
The Election Commission has ordered the following --
1. That any biopic materal in the nature of biography/hagiography subserving the purposes of any political entity or any individual entity connected to it, which is intended to, or which has the potential to disturb the level playing field during the elections, should not be displayed in electronic media including cinematograph during the operation of MCC.
2. That any poster or publicity material concerning any such certified content, which either depicts a candidate (including prospective) for the furtherance (or purported to further) of electoral prospect, directly or indirectly, shall not be put to display in electronic media in the area where MCC is in operation.
3. That any poster or publicity material concerning any such certified content, which either depicts a candidate (including prospective) for the furtherance (or purported to further) of electoral prospect, directly or indirectly, shall not be put to display in print media, without the prescribed instructions of pre-certification in the area where MCC is in operation.
4. That in any cinematograph material, certified by the appropriate authority, if there exists such a violation or on receipt of a complaint in this regard, a committee, duly constituted by the commission, shall examine the same and suggest appropriate action. This committee shall be headed by a Retired Justice of Hon'ble Supreme Court or Retired Chief Justice of any Hon'ble High Court.
PM Narendra Modi, the Omung Kumar-directed biopic, was slated for a release on April 11, the day India goes to polls. Last week, Vivek, who plays PM Narendra Modi in the film, denied that the film was made to influence voters. "It is just a coincidence that the film is releasing ahead of the election. It is not a propaganda film. I am an individual who has a credible body of work over the last 18 years, more than 45 films and more than 26-27 awards. So I stand my ground there. I don't need to make him appear as a hero. He is a hero to billions of people across the world," he told India Today Television.
PM Narendra Modi biopic, directed by Omung Kumar and produced by Sandip Ssingh and Suresh Oberoi, was initially slated for a release on April 12. The makers of the film then changed the release date to April 5. However, several opposition parties knocked on the doors of the Election Commission, invoking the Model Code of Conduct, that kicked in on March 10, a month before the Lok Sabha elections. India goes to polls tomorrow, with the first phase slated to kick off at 7am.
After the Election Commission was approached, the Vivek Oberoi film missed its April 5 release date. The Central Board of Film Certification also said that the Vivek Oberoi starrer hadn't received a certificate yet. The film was certified U by the CBFC yesterday and cleared for release on April 11, after 11 reported cuts.
However, looks like PM Narendra Modi biopic will find it tough to see the light of day tomorrow.
