After welcoming a baby girl, Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor are embracing a new stage in their lives. While well wishes for the couple and their newborn daughter have been flooding in, their designer friend Anaita Shroff Adajania recently gave them a sweet gift.
Friday night, Alia posted a photo of some unique, handcrafted blankets to her Instagram stories. ‘Alia & Ranbir’ was written on one of those quilts, and ‘Raha’ was inscribed on the other. On blankets, there were also carvings of adorable creatures and infinity symbols. Alia thanked @anaitashroffadajania and @purkalstreeshakti for sharing the photo.
Later, Alia Bhatt disclosed the name of her little girl in a different post and explained why they decided to preserve the name “Raha”. “The name Raha (selected by her amazing and wise Dadi) has so many lovely implications… Raha, in its purest form means divine path in Swahili she is Joy, In Sanskrit, Raha is a clan, In Bangla – rest, comfort, relief, in Arabic peace, it also means happiness, freedom & bliss. And true to her name, we felt everything from the first second we held her, she wrote.
Regarding her professional career, Alia most recently appeared in Ayan Mukerji’s Brahmastra, which also featured Ranbir Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan, Mouni Roy, and Nagarjuna in significant parts.
