Ranbir Kapoor has confirmed that he plans to wed his girlfriend Katrina Kaif by the end of of next year, ending the suspense that has surrounded their marriage plans.

Ranbir, who is usually guarded about his personal life and his closeness with Katrina even as they continued to be spotted together, opened up about the actress in an interview to Anandabazar Patrika.

The actor further adds, “Both of us are sure about our relationship and if we don’t open about it now, it would be showing disrespect to the relationship. I am 33 now and it is time I have my family. Even Katrina wants that. I have grown up in a family where film is everything.”

The couple came close while filming 2009 hit film Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani, their first movie together.

They later co-starred in Prakash Jha’s Raajneeti(2010).  Ranbir and Katrina will be next seen in Jagga Jasoos, slated to release next year.
