Alia Bhatt’s special gift for Raha’s 18th birthday

Alia Bhatt revealed an adorable birthday gift for her daughter Raha for her 18th birthday on the second episode of Two Much With Kajol & Twinkle on Amazon Prime. Alia arrived on the show alongside former co-star and friend Varun Dhawan, and they got candid about their relationship with each other, children and marriage.

In the chit-chat, Kajol told Alia that they had heard that she wrote daily emails to her baby. So, you get this idea from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Does Karan get credit for it?

Alia replied, “Not really. It was my friend Aarti or someone who gave this idea. Basically, it’s not a daily email. It’s like a monthly combination of images and that sort of thing that happens. I am just giving her the pictures and other items.”

She added, “But I write one line...you loved this so much and the only thing I wish for you is to be, etc. So, this is my game plan that I will gift to her when she is 18. I don’t know why. I mean, maybe she would demand it from me when she is 13 or 12. I don’t know.”

Alia also opened up about her relationship with her father-in-law, Rishi Kapoor. She shared, “Actually, I spent a lot of time with him when we were filming Kapoor and Sons. At that time, I wasn’t dating Ranbir or anyone else. But we used to hang out every evening. He had the most wonderful stories to tell. He used to love hanging out. After the shoot, he was like, just sit and you know, chill and have dinner together. That ambience was just too good. Like I really, really miss him.”

Alia also shared the connection between her daughter, Raha, and Rishi Kapoor.

She said, “I really think, especially his dynamics with Raha. Whenver people look at me, they were just like Raha is a mini Rishi Kapoor and she really has some energy of his that I feel she depicts from time to time.”

Alia also discusses her connection with the Kapoor family. She said, “When you are so internally into it, like when the relationships are so personal, you don’t really look at it from a professional perspective. You know, like which legacy you are going into. I think that only comes when you know. We celebrated 100 years of Raj Kapoor. I think at that moment. I was like, “Oh my god,” you know, Raj Kapoor is Raha’s great-grandfather. That link, I actually realised only then. When you are very involved in it, it’s very personal,” she added.

Alia and Ranbir married in April 2022 .
