When Shahid Kapoor Trolled And Corrected Alia Bhatt's Hindi As She Said, 'Aankh Babula Hona'

It was in 2015 when critically-acclaimed director, Vikas Bahl bought one of the most handsome Indian actors ever, Shahid Kapoor, opposite the-then emerging leading lady of Bollywood, Alia Bhatt, together on the big screen. The film was Shaandaar, and the chemistry between Shahid and Alia was simply top-notch. From their outfits to their mushy romance throughout the film, it was a treat for the fans of the two actors to see them together on the big screen.

Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt’s film, Shaandaar, was released around Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2. Hence, it couldn’t manage to make an impressive collection at the box office. However, during the film's promotion, Shahid and Alia indulged in a series of interviews and candid conversations with RJs and shows to promote their film. However, out of all the promotional events, it was Shahid and Alia’s conversation with RJ Malishka that grabbed the most headlines.

When Shahid Kapoor corrected Alia Bhatt’s Hindi

During the promotions of Shaandaar, Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt were invited to RJ Malishka’s famous candid chat show, where she used to ask juicy and unfiltered questions from her guests. The entire episode was just a banger, as it was filled with laughter and a lot of cute moments between Alia and Shahid, speaking volumes about their friendly bond with each other. However, during a segment of the show, Shahid shared that whenever he and Alia are together, they are usually ‘happy’. Expressing his thoughts about the same, he said a few lines in Hindi, and it could be read as:

"Hum amoman khush rehte hain."

As soon as Shahid Kapoor spoke in Hindi and used the word ‘amoman’, it left Alia Bhatt impressed with the former’s knowledge of the language. The actor kept on sharing more Hindi words with the actress, leaving her in absolute shock, as she had never heard some of them. However, Alia soon stated that she also knew the meaning of a famous Hindi idiom that goes like “Aankh Babula Hona”, leaving Shahid and RJ Malishka in splits. However, Shahid immediately corrected his Shaandaar co-star and told her that the correct idiom was “Aag Babula Hona”. The revelation left Alia puzzled as she realised that she had been using the idiom entirely wrong all her life.
