Love is always in the air in B-town, and when two people share an ex, it’s nothing unusual. However, Alia Bhatt dating Ranbir Kapoor shortly after he broke up with Katrina Kaif made headlines. This was because Alia and Katrina were incredibly close friends who shared the same social circle and even the gym. We’ve even seen videos of the two exercising together. As a result, netizens wanted to know how Katrina felt when her “good friend,” Alia, began seeing her ex-boyfriend, whom she almost married.
How Did Katrina Meet Alia?
Katrina recalled how her friendship with Alia began in an interview, a few years ago. When Katrina was in a serious relationship with Ranbir in 2011, the two used to hang out a lot with RK’s bestie, Ayan Mukerji. It was Ayan who introduced Alia to the couple even before she started shooting for her debut film, Student Of The Year.
Katrina said, “We always had a nice, warm relationship. I think when she started coming to train with Yasmin (Karachiwala), that’s when we started seeing each other more and then I would ask her to come train with me.”
When Alia Attended Kat & Ranbir’s Housewarming!
There was a point when Katrina and Alia became the new besties in B-town. From wearing matching outfits to celebrating Christmas together, the two actresses shared a great bond. In fact, when Katrina moved in with Ranbir, Alia even attended their housewarming party with Ayan! Can you believe it?
How Katrina Felt About Alia Dating RK
Katrina and Ranbir officially broke up in 2016 after dating for six years. This is when Ranbir began shooting for Brahmāstra and became close to Alia. Their relationship rumours started doing the rounds in 2017. Fans speculated about Katrina’s reaction to the new romance. After all, just as there is a “bro code,” there is a “sis code,” which involves not dating your friend’s ex.
While no one could blame Katrina for severing relations with Alia after this, the actress chose to keep the friendship, which shows true strength. She also mentioned this in the same interview, stating that she spent a few days analysing the situation since she didn’t want to respond to it with a preconceived notion. She said, “When I thought about it, I realised that who she was dating wasn’t relevant to the equation that I shared with her, so why should that equation change?”

TBH, it takes a lot of guts to remain as calm and understanding about such a situation as Katrina Kaif has. She still has a close bond with Alia Bhatt, and the two are due to appear together in Farhan Akhtar’s next, Jee Le Zara. Kudos to these women for not allowing a man to stand in the way of their friendship!
