Alia Bhatt on Motherhood: Letting Raha Find Her Own Path

Being the daughter of two of Bollywood’s biggest stars isn’t easy, but Alia Bhatt is determined to let her daughter Raha grow into her own person. In a recent interview, Alia discussed her approach to motherhood, emphasizing her trust in instincts over calculated decisions.

Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor welcomed their daughter Raha in November 2022.

Trusting Instincts Over Calculations

Alia Bhatt, who welcomed her daughter Raha with Ranbir Kapoor in November 2022, believes in nurturing and caring for her child while allowing her to find her own identity. “Children are born with their own personality. You just have to nurture and care for them and let them find their own feet,” Alia said in an interview with Hindustan Times. She added, “I don’t want Raha to ever be any version of herself that she doesn’t feel most comfortable with.”

A Blend of Meticulous and Spontaneous

Describing her parenting style, Alia mentioned that she strikes a balance between being meticulous and spontaneous. “When it comes to the legacy that I envisioned as an actor and a mother, I don’t think it has been calculated from my side. The choices I make as a mother are very instinctive to what I feel is best for my child. I am very meticulous, but I can also be very random. So I’m kind of a mix of both,” she explained.

Keeping Raha Away from the Spotlight

Alia and Ranbir kept Raha away from the public eye for almost a year, introducing her to the paparazzi only at the Kapoor family’s Christmas lunch in 2023. This careful approach highlights their desire to protect their daughter’s privacy and let her grow up without the intense scrutiny often faced by celebrity children.

Looking Ahead: Alia’s Upcoming Projects

On the professional front, Alia Bhatt is gearing up for exciting roles in Yash Raj Films’ next Spy Universe movie “Alpha,” as well as Vasan Bala’s “Jigra” and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s “Love And War.”

Alia Bhatt’s approach to motherhood reflects her belief in letting her daughter carve her own path, free from external pressures, while balancing her own professional commitments with thoughtful and instinctive parenting.
