A mysterious invitation card went viral on Monday, as it talked about a sagan ceremony between Ranbir Kapoor and ‘Aliya’ Bhatt. The invite set tongues wagging as fans of Ranbir and Alia wondered if the couple is finally saying ‘I do’. However, Alia’s mother Soni Razdan and uncle Mukesh Bhatt, rubbished the rumours.

Talking to BT from London, Soni said, “It’s a non-issue. Please, don’t give these miscreants more publicity than they deserve.”

On his part, Mukesh said, “Alia is busy shooting for Sadak 2 in Ooty. I have got a call from all over the country inquiring about the same. How can it be real? It’s sad. There are so many mistakes on the card.”

For those unaware, the spelling of Alia on the card is ‘Aliya’. That apart, the card reads that Aliya is the daughter of Soni Razdan and Mukesh Bhatt, when the latter is her uncle. We tried reaching out to her father Mahesh Bhatt, but his phone was switched off.

As per the invitation, the ceremony will be held on January 22, 2020 at Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur. It’s the same venue where Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas tied the knot.
