Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt’s daughter Raha Kapoor can now utter “mumma,” and Alia left no stones unturned in recording when she addressed her for the first time. Referring to the same, Alia spoke with Allure and recalled how she recorded Raha calling her “mumma” for the first time.
“The first time my daughter Raha said ‘mumma’, it was just me and her playing on her playing mat. And before that, the backstory is there was a fight at home about whether she’s going to say ‘mumma’ first or ‘papa’ first. So of course, mumma was like, ‘Say mumma, mumma, mumma!’ And papa was like, ‘Papa! Papa! Papa!’ When she said it, it was just me and her. So I immediately pulled out my phone and said, ‘Say it again! What did you say? Say it again, say say! (laughs).’ And she fully said it, ‘Mumma’.”
She also recalls that the first time Raha kicked in her stomach was when she was shooting her international debut abroad- Tom Harper’s 2023 Netflix spy thriller Heart of Stone. Alia had called Ranbir to share that moment, and he was fast asleep at night in India.
Meanwhile, Ranbir and Alia are set to collaborate once again for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War.
