On November 6, 2022, Bollywood stars Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt began a new chapter as they welcomed their daughter, Raha Kapoor. Since her birth, the couple has made it clear that they want to keep If out of the public eye, requesting the media to respect their family’s privacy, a request that has largely been honored.
In a past interview with Vogue India, Alia opened up about their decision, expressing her discomfort with the idea of Raha becoming a public figure so early in life. “Ranbir and I are very clear on how long we don’t want Raha to be in the public eye for. We don’t even want to post her pictures on social media,” Alia said, adding that while she’s grateful for the blessings they’ve received, she remains protective. “I just don’t feel comfortable with any sort of conversation around my little baby right now,” she shared.

Alia further praised the paparazzi’s respectfulness toward their privacy. “We are one industry. The paparazzi are like my work family, and they have been very respectful,” she noted, recalling how they refrained from taking photos of Raha when she returned from London that year.
However, in a cherished Christmas moment that has become a fond memory, Ranbir and Alia introduced Raha to close family and friends in an intimate gathering. This rare glimpse into their family life delighted loved ones, making it a memorable holiday season, even as the couple continues to protect their daughter’s privacy in the public sphere.
