I don't agree. There's a power imbalance between Ranbir and Alia. Between his age, his family name and wealth, and the security that provides him. She married up which means she will never really feel like his equal unless he goes out of his way to make her feel that way, which doesn't seem likely from all the stories that circulate here plus their public appearances.
In a situation with a known philanderer like him, if you want to accept the bargain given you to become the Kapoor daughter-in-law, you basically have no choice but to accept physical cheating. She claims she's okay with it because she knows that's the only way she'll hold onto him. Is she really happy with it? As any woman (or man) willing to accept this if they could have the choice not to? I find this coercive and just more indicative of the power imbalance between these two, very similar to Neetu Singh, who came from a very hard background and was forced to accept all of Rishi's shortcomings because she was still better off with him than where she was before. The amount of torment and humiliation these women have to receive to keep the Kapoor surname is really so unjust.
