Alia Bhatt considers her home to be the place where Raha laughs. The star became a parent with husband Ranbir Kapoor in November 2022, and she claims her toddler has a "lot of fun" with her father, who is always looking for inventive ways to make her smile.
After dating for almost four years, the celebrity pair married in April 2022. Both have since seen professional success, with popular films, further work, and even a worldwide debut. But closer to home, the dynamics are well aligned.
“Nothing really surprised me,” Alia Bhatt told Indianexpress.com when asked if there was an aspect of Ranbir Kapoor as a father that she didn’t see coming. The actor said even if something did spring as a surprise, it wasn’t like she “wasn’t expecting it.”
“I always inherently felt that he was going to be a wonderful father. The bond that they share is of much fun and… They are just so much fun together. Raha and Ranbir are always troubling each other, pulling each other’s legs, they have the funniest conversations, and they make each other laugh!”
“One of the surprises for me was Ranbir's insistence on Raha's dress choices! I had to ask him, 'Ranbir, what should Raha dress for this today?' Then he'll arrive, rifle through the clothes, and put everything together. He becomes really invested in that. You'd think I'd be the one to dress her up, but I say no, leave it to him! He'll do it really well.”
On Sunday, Alia Bhatt launched her debut Ed Finds a Home, published by Penguin. Written in collaboration with Vivek Kamath and Shabnam Minwalla, with illustrations by Tanvi Bhat, it is the first book in The Adventures of Ed-a-Mamma series.
Alia, who was speaking on the sidelines of the event, said she often marvels at the way Ranbir comes up with “creative ways” to play with their daughter, who will turn two this November. It is a sight, Alia Bhatt says, which often leaves her in awe, making her realise all the more just how comfortable Ranbir is as a father.
“I just saw a video in which it was said that when a father and daughter play and have pleasure, oxytocin is released in the brain. Mom and daughter may also have fun together, but father-daughter pleasure is different. Mother-daughter relationships are maybe more about sleeping, eating, and caring. That is my safe area, and I enjoy doing it. But it is when it comes to unique methods to have fun. I can't even think of the innovative methods he uses to entertain her, and in return she entertains him.
“So, I always expected this, but this creativity is a surprise on a day-to-day basis. He is just wonderful, in a basic, simple, primal way. He doesn’t even have to try too hard; it just naturally comes to him,” she added.
The book, which Alia has co-authored, introduces young readers to a world where a little girl embarks on a heartwarming adventure to rescue an abandoned little dog. On the film front, Alia will be next seen in Karan Johar backed jailbreak drama thriller Jigra, Yash Raj Film’s next spy universe film and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love and War, where she will co-star with Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal.
