Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor Celebrate Daughter Raha’s First Birthday

In recent interviews, Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor have openly shared their joy and pride in being parents to their daughter, Raha. The couple has also candidly discussed their experiences as new parents, particularly in handling the media attention surrounding their famous child. Raha recently marked her first birthday, capturing the hearts of many since her birth in Mumbai last year. Let’s take a look back at her first year and the heartfelt sentiments expressed by her parents, Alia and Ranbir, on this special occasion.

During their appearance at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit, Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor expressed their mixed emotions as new parents, considering the widespread sharing of Raha’s images on the internet. Alia acknowledged the challenge of balancing their love for their daughter with a desire to protect her privacy, stating, “I don’t want it to seem like I am hiding my daughter. I am proud of her. If the cameras were not rolling right now, I would put a giant image of her on the screen. I love her. I am proud of our baby. But we are new parents. We don’t know how we feel about her face being widely exposed on the internet, given that she’s barely a year old.”

In an interview with Pinkvilla in March, Ranbir Kapoor shared his most cherished memory of Raha, recounting the “first time she smiled.” He also revealed his evening routine, saying, “Now I kiss my daughter a lot before I sleep…”

Alia Bhatt, speaking to Vogue India, humorously reflected on the changes in her life, saying, “I realized when I was traveling from Mumbai to London, my bag had nothing to do with me. It basically just had my passport. But otherwise, it was her pacifier, her napkins, a burp cloth, her mittens, an extra pair of socks, an extra pair of this, a little toy, a little book. And I said, ‘Okay, okay, my bag has now become Raha’s bag. It’s no longer my bag.'”

Raha’s first year has been filled with love and precious moments, and her parents continue to embrace the joys and challenges of parenthood with open hearts.
