Ranbir Kapoor played the part of the dutiful, proud husband yesterday. He was by Alia Bhatt`s side as she received her first-ever National Film Award for Best Actor in Delhi on October 17. The happy couple was seated in the second row, with Waheeda Rehman directly in their eyeline, as she was seated in the front row.

At one point in the event, it seemed like the paparazzi were becoming more boisterous and eager to take pictures of the stars. In the hullaballoo, the front row table, where Waheeda was seated, started moving back. Ranbir got up to interfere and even curtly asked the photographers to be careful.
