Ranbir Kapoor, a devoted father, recently shared a life-changing decision he made following the birth of his daughter, Raha Kapoor. In a candid conversation with Nikhil Kamath, the Barfi actor opened up about how fatherhood has profoundly impacted him, both emotionally and in terms of his lifestyle choices. Ranbir reminisced about the transformative experience of holding Raha for the first time, describing it as the most precious moment of his life. He expressed how Raha has brought new emotions and thoughts into his life, making him more health-conscious and reshaping his perspective on life and death. "Now that I am a father and have a daughter, that's a game-changer. I feel like I was just born. I was reborn," he said.
The actor revealed that before Raha's birth, he never feared death and had an odd obsession with the number 8, believing he would die at 71. However, becoming a father changed his outlook entirely. "I don't know why I said that. But now I am like that's too soon. That's another 30 years. So, all that has changed because of Raha," Ranbir explained.
One of the most significant changes in Ranbir's life has been his decision to quit smoking, a habit he had maintained since he was 17. "I started smoking cigarettes, which became a very nasty habit. But when I became a father, I started feeling very unhealthy," he shared. The realization of his new responsibilities as a father motivated him to give up smoking to ensure he remains healthy for his daughter.
When asked about the top moment of his life, Ranbir didn't hesitate to describe Raha's birth. "The top moment of my life was my daughter's birth. Until she was born and Alia was pregnant, you imagine it, but you don't feel it. She is feeling it because the baby is in her. But when she was born and the doctor gave her to me, it's a feeling you can't describe. It's like somebody has taken my heart and put it in my hands. It's the love of your life, it's too good. I've never felt like that about anybody or anything in life," he said.
Ranbir also touched upon Raha's relationship with him and Alia Bhatt. He explained that Raha sees Alia as a part of herself, while with him, she looks for fun and laughter. "I think Raha considers Alia as a part of her. She doesn't see Alia as another human. They both are one. With me, she looks for the masti and fun and the laughter and flirting. We are flirting all the time," he added.
