Alia is undoubtedly one of the most popular Bollywood actresses today. She has impressed her fans and critics with some back-to-back brilliant performances, and Ranbir seems to be a fan of the 24-year-old.

Ranbir calls Alia the "Big B", as he thinks she'd the Amitabh Bachchan of this era, according to the Deccan Chronicle. The report said that Ranbir, at a recently awards function, addressed Alia as the "Big B of today's times". Well, this seems to be a very big accolade for the young actress.

Both Ranbir and Alia are quite fond of each other's work. The Dear Zindagi actress earlier said that Ranbir has been her crush since his debut in Saawariya, and she always wanted to work with him.
