Mahesh Bhatt denied Alia Bhatt to take 'all 7 vows' with Ranbir; 'Don't want my daughter to make such promises'

Veteran film-maker and bride's father Mahesh Bhatt reportedly denied Alia Bhatt to make the traditional '7 promises' to groom Ranbir Kapoor. Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor tied the knot on Thursday and turned husband and wife. Ranbir Kapoor-Alia Bhatt wedding turned out to be a massive event as many Bollywood stars and businessmen including Ambanis attended the ceremony and blessed the couple. Ranbir Kapoor Alia Bhatt wedding was also a unique affair as many traditions were not followed. Apart from taking only 4 pheras, Alia Bhatt reportedly did not make all the 7 promises to Ranbir Kapoor. 

As per reports, Alia Bhatt was asked to not make all the 7 promises as she will not be able to keep that. The report says the incident occurred when the pandit was explaining the 7 vows of marriage. While the pandit was explaining the vows to both Alia and Ranbir, Mahesh Bhatt jumped in and asked his daughter not to take a particular vow. Explaining the seventh vow, the pandit told Alia that whatever she does in the future she will ask Ranbir and take his consent. Following that Mahesh Bhatt asked his daughter Alia Bhatt to not take this vow. 

The veteran Director told his daughter that he himself did not take this particular vow from his wife, therefore Alia should not take this as well. Furthermore, Mahesh Bhatt stated that he wants that Alia should always remain independent to take her decisions and act upon them. Notably, Alia acceded to Mahesh Bhatt's request and advice and did not take the seventh vow. 

As earlier said, Alia Bhatt-Ranbir Kapoor wedding was a unique affair, the actress' brother Rahul Bhatt had revealed that the couple took only 4 pheras. During the wedding of Ranbir and Alia, 4 Pandits chanted and got all the rituals done.  But the couple changed this important tradition of marriage by taking 4 rounds instead of 7 rounds. Explaining the reason for taking 4 rounds, Rahul Bhatt in an interview said, 'They had called a very special Pandit, who was an important part of the ceremony in which brothers are needed. He has been associated with the Pandit Kapoor family for many years.  

He explained the importance of every round. He said that one round happens for religion, one happens for children… so it was quite interesting.
