In a recent episode of Koffee With Karan Season 8, Alia Bhatt shared heartfelt moments about motherhood and the challenges she faced while shooting for “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” in Kashmir. Host Karan Johar touched upon Alia’s protective nature towards her daughter Raha Kapoor, born to Alia and Ranbir Kapoor in November last year.
Karan Johar revealed a vulnerable side of Alia, mentioning an incident where she faced emotional turmoil due to an almost-public photo of her daughter. Alia confessed to feeling overwhelmed during the demanding shooting schedule, being a new mother, and dealing with post-pregnancy adjustments. She recounted reaching out to Ranbir, who prioritized family by adjusting his work to support her.
The actress emotionally shared her struggle when a photo of Raha’s side profile surfaced, leading to a breakdown. Alia clarified that her protective instincts weren’t about hiding Raha but rather managing the overwhelming emotions that come with being a new parent.
Alia emphasized that she and Ranbir take pride in their daughter and often encourage people to give her blessings. However, the couple, still adjusting to parenthood, expressed uncertainty about Raha’s face being widely exposed on the internet. Alia’s recent statement at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit highlighted their protective stance, stating that they love and are proud of their baby but want to navigate parenthood without the constant scrutiny of their child’s image online.
As the couple continues to embrace their roles as new parents, Alia Bhatt remains candid about the challenges and joys of motherhood, shedding light on the delicate balance between protecting their daughter and sharing the happiness of parenthood with the world.
