It is no secret that Ranbir Kapoor loves the number 8 and considers it quite lucky for him. In fact, his wifey Alia Bhatt’s kaleeras at the time of their wedding had a connection with the 8 number. Finally, the Sanju actor has solved the mystery about his love for this number during a press conference for Bunty Walia’s All Stars Football Club in Dubai. Ranbir revealed he has a ‘weird fascination’ with the number 8 because it is his mother Neetu Kapoor’s birthday date, the 8th of July.
Addressing the media during a press meet, Ranbir stated he loves the number 8 because it is his mother’s birth date. Not just that, the Rockstar actor also explained that he absolutely loves the way the number 8 looks (when horizontal, it represents infinity). Ranbir also mentioned that he would always wear this number. Not to forget, late Rishi Kapoor's Mercedes SUV's license plate number was 4400 - which adds to 8. Reportedly, Ranbir's red Audi too had a number 8 plate on it. Neetu Kapoor's blue SUV also has the number 8.

In fact, during an Ask Me Anything session on Instagram, Alia had even said that her favourite number is 8. A source had previously revealed to a tabloid that the Kapoor family members - Rishi, Neetu and Ranbir - have always considered the number '8' very lucky. Back in the 2000s when Ranbir had purchased his first jeep the number plate was one digit, '8'.
Meanwhile, Ranbir Kapoor, Kartik Aaryan, and Abhishek Bachchan among others jetted off to Dubai to attend Celebrity Football Cup 2022 against Emirates United. On the work front, the Wake Up Sid actor is gearing for the release of his upcoming rom-com ‘Brahmāstra’ with his wife Alia Bhatt.
