Ranbir gets 43 kisses from Raha

Meanwhile, Ranbir also came live on Instagram from the page of his lifestyle brand Arks on Sunday evening. The actor responded to several fan questions and shared what gift he received from his daughter, Raha, for his birthday. “Raha made me a promise that she will give me 43 kisses, so I got that!” he said during the live.

Raha was born on November 8, 2022 to actors Ranbir and Alia, who began dating while working on Ayan Mukerji's 2022 hit supernatural fantasy Brahmastra: Part One - Shiva. They tied the knot the same year. Ranbir and Alia didn't disclose Raha's face and had a pact with the paparazzi not to click her. They revealed her face at the annual Kapoor Christmas luncheon in 2023.

Ranbir will next appear in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana, which also features Sai Pallavi, Yash, Ravi Dubey, Sunny Deol, and Lara Dutta, among others in key roles. The film will be released in two parts, with the first part hitting theatres on Diwali 2026.

Alia and Ranbir will also be seen sharing the screen with Vicky Kaushal in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film Love & War, which is currently under production.
