Ranbir Kapoor was at a health spa in Austria recently, at Katrina Kaif's insistence, for a treatment that has made him stop smoking. As per the reports, Katrina had heard from Aditya Chopra about this health centre which had a certain type of treatment that made chain-smokers kick the butt completely. She urged Ranbir to try it out. It is learnt that part of the treatment is to inject the smoker behind his/her ears. The injections makes a smoker quit smoking. Ranbir and Katrina flew off to the spa via Germany before her birthday and spent more than a week there. While Katrina did a few detox sessions, Ranbir took the stop-smoking injections. Now it's almost three weeks and Ranbir has not smoked.

Girlfriend/ Marriage
Ranbir Kapoor has always kept silence about his relationship with Katrina Kaif. But recently, he confirmed that he is tying the knot with Katrina in 2016. In an interview Ranbir said, "This year, there's a lot of pressure on me because of work. I feel I won't be able to make the time. I'm thinking of getting married towards the end of next year. Till now, that's the plan for me and her."
But it seems the actor was misquoted because now he has said that he has no plans of getting married. He told, "The media is planning to get me married for the past 5 years. But there is no truth in it. I heard that some paper claimed that I confirmed the news but I am telling you that I haven't made any such statement."
