Quick Read
Dining with the Kapoors, which will give a glimpse into the world of Bollywood’s most iconic family, is all set to stream on Netflix from November 21. The show, which marks 100 years of the legendary Raj Kapoor, is created by Armaan Jain and directed and written by Smriti Mundhra. While the trailer gave us a glimpse into the fun-filled outing of the Kapoor family, fans noticed Alia Bhatt`s absence and were curious to know the real reason behind it. Ranbir`s brother, Armaan, has now revealed the reason.
Armaan Jain and Smriti Mundhra recently had a chat with Bollywood Hungama and were quizzed about Alia’s absence from the show. Armaan said, “She had prior commitments to shoot. I might sound filmy, but like Raj Kapoor said, ‘work is worship.’” Smriti added, “That is the one thing about this family. They are all workaholics, and they all love what they do.”
