Alia¡¯s bathroom habits
Ranbir stated in an interview with Bollywood Bubble that Alia's bathroom habits of flinging her makeup remover and towel everywhere are the only things about her that he can stand. He said, "I have OCD, so whenever she comes out of the bathroom, I can see a total mess."
This stirred controversy and people said that he should have pointed something like this publicly.
Nicotine addiction
At a press conference for his movie Sanju, he said something quite startling. The actor disclosed that he had a nicotine addiction at the age of fifteen.
"I quit smoking for four months, then started rolling cigarettes again just last month - just one or two a day. It's something I'm scared of because I've been a nicotine addict since I was 15, and it's the worst kind of addiction," he said as per Indiatoday.
