Alia Bhatt on co-parenting Raha with Ranbir Kapoor while working together in Love and War: ‘It does take a village’

Managing parenting while co-starring, Alia Bhatt discusses the challenges and joys of working with husband Ranbir Kapoor.

Alia Bhatt is no stranger to balancing a hectic film schedule with family life, especially when working alongside her husband, Ranbir Kapoor. In a recent interview with Grazia, Alia opened up about how the couple has been managing parenting duties while co-starring in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love and War without letting their roles as actors or parents take a backseat.

Alia talks about co-parenting with Ranbir

Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt welcomed daughter Raha in 2022.

“It sounds cheesy, but there are no cons to this—only pros," Alia said candidly when asked about working with her husband. The only real challenge, she explained, is managing their daughter Raha’s schedule. “We’ve shot most of the film at night, so we’re usually with her during the day. There are days he’s shooting, days I am. We’re not always on set together,” she added.

The actor also revealed that Raha has occasionally accompanied them to work and seems to enjoy being on set. She also acknowledged the support system around her. “She’s got a very busy life herself with classes, playdates, grandparents, and activities. It does take a village, in a sense, and I feel very grateful for all my loved ones and the privilege that I have with this support system,” she said.

Alia's upcoming projects

She is also reuniting with husband Ranbir and director Sanjay Leela Bhansali for Love and War, a period romantic drama starring Vicky Kaushal. The film marks Alia and Ranbir’s second collaboration after Brahmāstra, and expectations are already sky-high.
