Alia Bhatt has shared the adorable story behind daughter Raha’s first word, revealing a playful “fight” with husband Ranbir Kapoor over who got credit for the milestone.
While conversing with Bollywood Hungama, the Alpha star shared about how motherhood changed her life, including memorable moments with daughter Raha and a playful “fight” with the Animal star over her first word.
Alia shared that she and Ranbir adorably debated whether their daughter’s first word would be “mama” or “papa.”
The Raazi star mentioned, “The backstory is — there was a fight at home (about) Whether she is going to say mama first or whether she is going to say papa first. So, of course, mama was like (say), ‘mama, mama, mama,’ and papa was like (say), ‘papa, papa, papa.’ And when she said that, it was just me and her, I immediately pulled out my phone and said, ‘say it say it again, what did you just say…’”.
Alia was thrilled when Raha said “mama” first and revealed that she had filmed the moment, ensuring the precious milestone was saved for the family.
She added, “We take great joy and pride in that moment. So, I remember that moment very clearly and I have it on video. So anybody who needs proof, she said ‘mama’ first.”
Alia also opened up about the day Raha was born, describing it as an experience she would never forget.
Alia said, “I’ll never forget in my life, no matter what happens, is the day our daughter was born. I won’t forget the moment where we first heard her sound. It was unreal. When I heard her voice, I felt like I had met God or something. It was so emotional, sort of surreal. The minute she was put on to me, I just felt an immediate dam of love sort of burst open in our life and it just felt safe and it felt like my purpose had been met. (I’ll) never ever forget that day”.
Alia and Ranbir welcomed their daughter on November 6, 2022.
Since then, they have largely kept Raha out of the public eye while occasionally offering glimpses into their family life.
