Since Raha’s birth in late 2022, Alia and Ranbir Kapoor have been navigating the intense public spotlight while trying to maintain a grounded environment for their daughter. Alia’s decision to discuss parenting with a spiritual figure in Chennai highlights a shift toward more holistic, “conscious” upbringing styles. The interaction has resonated with many modern parents who feel the pressure of perfection, offering a reminder that the best gift for a child is an adult who is living joyfully.
In the meantime, on the professional front, Alia was last seen in and also produced the 2024 film Jigra, which featured Vedang Raina. She is next set to appear in YRF’s upcoming spy film Alpha, alongside Sharvari and Bobby Deol. Additionally, she has Love & War in the pipeline, where she will share screen space with Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal.
