In 2022, after dating for five long years, Bollywood actors Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor got married on the balcony of their Bandra house in an intimate ceremony. Their beautiful love story soon transformed into parenthood when they turned a new page in their happily ever after, welcoming daughter Raha into the world the same year. Three years later, in a recent interview, Alia gets candid about RK the father, who becomes a child himself each time he is with his darling daughter Raha.

In a chat with Esquire India, Alia Bhatt shared how she always knew Ranbir Kapoor would be a hands-on father, as they had spoken about it. But revealing what surprised her, Alia was quoted saying, “He’s far more sensitive than he lets on. He’s shy, so he holds a lot back. But with her, he’s incredibly expressive. His eyes, his face, everything lights up. He almost becomes a child himself.” Remembering early days after Raha was born, Alia shared how Ranbir has taken some time off work to support her. When he returned to set, Alia shared, “He would go for a shoot and literally run home. He’d run straight into the room to see her.”

On the work front, Alia and Ranbir will soon reunite onscreen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film Love & War, which also stars Vicky Kaushal.
