The trailer of Dining With The Kapoors has created a buzz for many reasons, but the biggest talking point is the absence of Alia Bhatt. The Netflix special brings together members of the famous Kapoor family for a warm and nostalgic reunion. It features Ranbir Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor, Karisma Kapoor, Randhir Kapoor, Neetu Kapoor and others. Saif Ali Khan also appears in the trailer, even though he is not a Kapoor by birth. Viewers are excited to see the family share stories, memories and food while celebrating Raj Kapoor’s 100th birth anniversary.
What surprised many fans is that Alia Bhatt does not appear anywhere in the trailer. She is married to Ranbir Kapoor and is a well-loved member of the larger Kapoor family. People are used to seeing her at family gatherings and public events with them. Her absence is noticeable because the special is built around the idea of a complete family reunion. Fans have taken to social media to ask why she is not part of the trailer. Some feel she might appear in the film even though she is not shown in the promo.
The reason is still unknown, but the curiosity has only made the special more talked about. Dining With The Kapoors premieres on November 21 on Netflix, and viewers will finally know whether Alia is part of the gathering or not.
