Alia Bhatt has been quite vocal about her motherhood journey and about her child Raha’s upbringing. Alia and Ranbir Kapoor became parents in 2022 and never shied away to talk about their child in public platforms. The duo revealed Raha’s face during Christmas party last year. Alia shared that she is very instinctive when it comes to what’s best for her child. She also believe that a child should create his/her own personality and wishes that Raha does not be a version of herself that she is not comfortable with at all. 

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Alia said “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 also 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”. 

“I do believe children are born with their own personality. You just have to nurture and care for them and let them find their own feet. Let them be their own person. I don't think I want her (Raha) to ever be any version of herself that she doesn't feel most comfortable with,” he added. 

The actress recently launched a children’s picture book named as Ed finds a Home. Alia is also set to lead the female-led YRF Spy Universe. Speaking about her work, Alia said “I do have certain values. I may not necessarily play that in every character because I feel what you do as a character and as an actor is very different as to what choices you make as an individual in your real life. That’s the magic and fun of movie making.” 

“The films that I produce or the films I naturally choose, always have an underlying layer of some theme that I feel very strongly for. It can be something to do with women empowerment or with family values, something to do with being kind to one another, something to do with love and protection, or something to do with being flawed as a human,” she added. 

On the other hand, Alia will be next seen in Vasan Bala’s Jigra. The movie also stars Vedang Raina and Aditya Nanda in significant roles. Jigra is all set to release in theatres on 27th September.
