Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor’s relationship has been under the spotlight recently, especially with netizens comparing Alia to her mother-in-law, Neetu Kapoor.

Some online users are even calling her “Neetu Kapoor 2.0” and suggesting that she’s adopting Neetu’s style to keep Ranbir interested. They argue that Alia’s recent fashion choices and even her new hairstyle seem inspired by Neetu’s looks. This observation has led to a wave of speculation on social media, with some saying that Alia is trying hard to match Neetu’s preferences in an effort to impress Ranbir.

This speculation began to gain momentum after Alia’s recent appearance on *The Kapil Sharma Show* to promote her movie *Jigra*. Alia wore a sleek bob hairstyle and a chic pantsuit reminiscent of Neetu’s usual style.

Netizens were quick to draw comparisons, pointing out the similarity between Alia’s and Neetu’s looks, especially as Neetu is often seen with a similar hairstyle and elegant suits at events. From this one appearance, many people jumped to the conclusion that Alia was emulating Neetu, perhaps to mirror what Ranbir finds familiar and comforting.

However, some fans and commentators feel this kind of comparison is far-fetched and unreasonable. They argue that it’s unfair to link Alia’s fashion choices to her relationship with her mother-in-law or to say she’s consciously trying to be “Neetu Kapoor 2.0.” Others believe that such assumptions are based on a single incident, making it nonsensical to judge Alia’s individuality or choices on just one appearance.

Adding to the debate, an older interview with Ranbir has resurfaced, where he mentioned that he admired Alia’s adaptability. He said one of the reasons he married her was her ability to “mold herself according to her surroundings,” something he found appealing. While this was intended as a compliment, some netizens have taken it to mean that Alia lacks her own personality and that she may try to change herself to fit Ranbir’s expectations.

Many also feel that Ranbir’s strong bond with his mother may have influenced his relationship with Alia. Observers point out that Neetu was a significant emotional support for Ranbir, especially after the passing of his father, Rishi Kapoor, who was known for having a distant relationship with his son. This dynamic, some say, could mean that Ranbir has a close attachment to his mother, making her influence felt even after his marriage.

In recent events, including the premiere of *Animal*, Ranbir was seen with Neetu Kapoor rather than Alia, which led to further comments about Neetu’s involvement in their relationship. Some fans went as far as suggesting that Neetu might be too “clingy” with Ranbir, overshadowing Alia. At these public appearances, Alia appeared to be slightly uncomfortable, leading some to speculate about underlying tensions. One viral clip even showed Ranbir, Neetu, and Alia together, with people noticing an awkwardness that many interpreted as evidence of strained family dynamics.

Despite the heated discussion, others have defended Neetu and Ranbir’s close relationship, noting that it’s natural for a son to be emotionally close to his mother, especially after experiencing loss. They argue that there’s nothing wrong with Ranbir being a supportive son and that it doesn’t necessarily impact his relationship with Alia in a negative way.

The discussions around Alia becoming “Neetu 2.0” have stirred mixed reactions, and fans are divided on whether these comparisons are warranted. Many feel these comments unfairly judge Alia based on appearances and assumptions, and that they don’t account for her own personality and choices. The situation raises questions about public perceptions of celebrity relationships, where every gesture and fashion choice can be scrutinized and overanalyzed.

In the end, these ongoing comparisons between Alia and Neetu Kapoor, and the notion of Ranbir being a “mama’s boy,” highlight the intense scrutiny on celebrity marriages. Whether these rumors have any truth or not, they offer a look into the public’s fascination with star relationships and the pressures faced by those in the limelight.
