RK & Alia were supposed to be each other’s first co-stars?

In 2014, during the promotions of ‘Highway’, the ‘Barfi’ actor revealed that they were supposed to star in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Balika Vadhu’. In fact, they even did a photoshoot for it. Alia was 12 years old back then, while RK was 20.

SLB was reportedly planning to cast Alia & RK in ‘Balika Vadhu’

Recalling their first meeting moment, Ranbir said, “Technically me and Alia were first co-stars. We did a photoshoot together for a film called Balika Vadhu, which Mr. Bhansali was directing. I was around 20 and Alia must be around 3-4.”

Alia corrected him saying that she was 12. Check out the video below:

The ‘Highway’ actress was supposed to put her head on RK’s shoulder but she wasn’t apparently willing to.

Alia stated that it was the maximum contact she had with a boy at that age so she was feeling shy. She then revealed that’s when Sanjay Leela Bhansali thought Alia was flirting with Ranbir.

Alia Bhat had repeatedly confessed that she had a crush on Ranbir since she was 11!
