Ranbir Kapoor has a love-hate relationship with the internet. The Bollywood actor has been torn apart by netizens on many occasions after his problematic takes or statements surfaced online. Recently, Ranbir Kapoor was labelled as a "red flag" on social media after his wife-actress Alia Bhatt revealed that her husband does not like it when she wears lipstick because he likes her "natural lips". However, looks like Ranbir Kapoor has finally won over the internet with his heartfelt gesture towards senior actress Waheeda Rehman.

On Tuesday, Ranbir Kapoor accompanied his wife, Alia Bhatt, as the duo attended the 69th National Film Awards. For the unversed, Alia Bhatt and Kriti Sanon were jointly awarded the Best Actress award for their performances in 'Gangubai Kathiawadi' and 'Mimi', respectively.

A video from the event is going viral on social media, wherein Ranbir Kapoor can be seen being protective of veteran actress Waheeda Rehman as photographers swarmed her for pictures. For the unversed, Waheeda Rehman was honoured with Dadasaheb Phalke award at the ceremony.

Soon after the video was shared on Instagram, several social media users flocked to the post’s comment section and praised Ranbir Kapoor.
