🎬 Why Alia Bhatt Missed 'Dining With The Kapoors': Armaan Jain Reveals The Real Reason
The recently dropped trailer for the Netflix special, 'Dining
With The Kapoors,' has stirred up massive excitement, showcasing
Bollywood's iconic Kapoor clan—from Ranbir Kapoor and Kareena KapoorKhan to Neetu Kapoor and Randhir Kapoor—gathering for an
intimate family dinner.
However, amidst the star-studded lineup, one prominent face
was conspicuously missing: the youngest Kapoor bahu and one of
Bollywood's busiest stars, Alia Bhatt. Her absence, with husband Ranbir
Kapoor making a stag appearance, instantly sparked widespread online curiosity
and speculation.
Now, the producer and host of the special, Armaan Jain
(Ranbir and Kareena's cousin), has finally addressed the most-asked question,
putting all the rumours to rest.
The Big Question: Where Was Alia Bhatt?
The 'Dining With The Kapoors' special, which brings
the family together to celebrate the legacy of the legendary Raj Kapoor on his
100th birth anniversary, features a rare and candid look at the entire family. While
Saif Ali Khan, Kareena's husband, is present, Alia Bhatt is not, making her
absence a major talking point on social media.
Fans were quick to wonder why the actress, who is now an
official member of the Kapoor family, couldn't make it to such an important
family gathering.
Armaan Jain's Clarification: "Work is Worship"
In a conversation with a media portal, producer Armaan
Jain explained that Alia Bhatt's absence was purely due to professional
commitments that she couldn't reschedule.
🗣️ Armaan Jain said:
"She had prior commitments to shoot. I might sound filmy, but like
Raj Kapoor said, 'work is worship.'”
This statement confirms that the highly professional actress
was tied up with her demanding shooting schedule, which prevented her from
participating in the special.
A Common Conflict in the Kapoor Clan
Armaan Jain further added that scheduling conflicts are a
normal occurrence in a family full of actors, filmmakers, and busy
professionals.
🗣️ Armaan Jain said:
"Every function it happens — literally Christmas get-togethers, Diwali
get-togethers. It happens.”
This sentiment was echoed by the show's director, Smriti
Mundhra, who praised the Kapoor family's dedication to their craft.
🗣️ Smriti Mundhra
said: "That is the one thing about this family. They are all workaholics
and they all love what they do... inevitably there's one or two people who
can't make it because of work—and that's always allowed.”
❤️ Alia Bhatt’s Support for the
Special
Despite not being able to join the family dinner shoot, Alia
Bhatt has openly shown her full support for 'Dining With The Kapoors.'
She took to her social media stories to cheer on the family and promote the
Netflix special, congratulating Armaan Jain on putting the project together.
The special, featuring fun banter, nostalgic memories, and
heartfelt conversations, is set to premiere on Netflix on November 21, 2025.
