Alia Bhatt just a fan of Ranbir Kapoor

Actress Alia Bhatt, who recently shocked many by confessing on a chat show that she wants to marry actor Ranbir Kapoor, says she didn't literally mean it and is just his fan.

She and actress Parineeti Chopra recently appeared on the final episode of a TV talk show, hosted by filmmaker Karan Johar.

"Firstly, being in this industry if I want to marry someone, I will never say it on the national television, especially on a TV show. So, I just said it in jest, I am a fan girl at the end of the day," the 21-year-old said on Monday at the launch of the new cover of the book "2 States".

"When I say 'I want to marry Ranbir Kapoor', it's not like I literally want to marry him. It's just like a fan girl who wants to take a boy home to meet her parents," she added.
