Indian actor, Ranbir Kapoor has opened up about plans by he and his spouse, Alia Bhatt are preparing for their new roles, becoming parents to their first child.

Ranbir is also returning to set after some period with the film, Shamshera releasing on Friday. In the movie, he plays a dual role --of a father and his son-- for the first time.

In real life as well, Ranbir is all set to become a dad. The actor has now revealed how he is preparing for his new role.

On being asked about how he is prepping for the arrival of his first child, Ranbir replied on a chat, “Right now, I am just dreaming with my wife, taking each day as it comes. Like every budding parent, you read your stories, we have started to build the nursery, so doing all the fun things. But the anticipation, the excitement, the nervousness and the anxiety for such a thing doesn’t compare to anything. It’s beyond compare, so taking a day at a time.

Alia and Ranbir tied the knot in April with only close family members and friends in attendance. Alia announced her pregnancy last month by sharing a picture from an ultrasound session. She was working on her Hollywood debut at the time and has recently returned home to finish work on Karan Johar's directorial, Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani.

In September, Alia and Ranbir will also see the release of their first film together, Brahmastra. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the film also stars Amitabh Bachchan and Mouni Roy and is the first in a trilogy.
