Actor Ranbir Kapoor has finally confirmed his relationship with actress Katrina Kaif after years of dodging media speculations and also revealed he will marry her by the end of next year.

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 a daily. "This year both of us are extremely busy, so there won't be any time for the marriage.

We have planned to tie the knot by the end of next year. Both of us have agreed on that," Ranbir said. The actor further went on to say, "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."

The couple came close while filming 2009 hit film "Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani", their first movie together. They later starred together in Prakash Jha's "Raajneeti" (2010). The duo will be next seen in "Jagga Jasoos", slated to release next year.
