Ranbir Kapoor had to calm down anxious Alia Bhatt ahead of Raha’s pap debut

Actor Alia Bhatt has revealed that she was anxious and nervous before she and husband Ranbir Kapoor first revealed their daughter Raha’s face to the public last year. Alia and Ranbir had brought Raha out to waiting paparazzi ahead of the Kapoor family Christmas lunch last year. Alia has now addressed the moment for the first time.

On Kareena Kapoor’s chat show What Women Want, Alia revealed that Ranbir casually brought up the conversation of showing Raha’s face to the world on that day. Till then, the couple had not brought the toddler out in public and had requested the paparazzi not to click her. But that day, he advised they go ahead with it, and Alia said it made her very anxious.
The actor added, “He obviously understood that, and he said okay now you’re going to get really anxious so now let’s talk about it what your worst fear is. This we talked all the way from Bandra to Juhu and then finally I was like listen it’s true like this is our life and I don’t want people to think that oh you can’t see my daughter’s face, that was not the intention.”

Eventually, Ranbir came out to tell the paparazzi waiting outside the party venue that they would bring Raha out and requested them not to be loud. The moment was captured by various media organisations and paps as Raha cutely posed with her parents, even holding their faces. Talking about that moment, Alia said, “I just didn’t want to be like a whole thing and that one moment happened, and it was such a cute moment where she was holding both our faces like that.” Alia said that she still gets nervous when paparazzi shine the camera flash in Raha’s eyes but has gotten accustomed to it now.
Alia recently saw the release of her action film Jigra, which hit the screens on Friday. Directed by Vasan Bala, the film also stars Vedang Raina and is the story of a sister, who travels to another country to break her brother out of prison. Ranbir, meanwhile, was last seen in Animal, which released in 2023. He is currently filming Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana, in which he plays Lord Rama.
