Alia Bhatt on Daughter Raha: Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt shared her experiences regarding her daughter Raha and her personal life at the Red Sea International Film Festival. Participating in the prestigious festival for the second time, Alia also discussed her experience of becoming a parent, the changes she’s experienced with age, and answered questions from Pakistani fans, which is currently generating significant discussion.
Life with Raha and the Experience of Motherhood
Alia explained that when she first visited the festival, her daughter Raha was only one year old. Now, at a second visit, Raha is three years old. During this time, Alia mentioned that Raha has already developed a distinct relationship with paparazzi and the media. Her daughter is so perceptive that she asks Alia where they are going and when they will return.
Speaking about balancing work and personal life after becoming a mother, Alia said, “It’s all beautifully chaotic. Coming home from work and putting on pajamas and relaxing with pizza – that’s real balance.” Her approach has greatly impressed fans.
Age and Changes in Perspective
Talking about the changes in perspective that come with age, Alia said that when she was 20 years old, she was always active and trying to do everything. At 17-18, she was very energetic and enthusiastic. Alia shared that, after more than a decade, the perspective on any situation changes.
“I’m still just as energetic, but the perspective has become much calmer. A part of me wants to hold onto that 18-year-old girl who was brave and fearless. She also stated that with experiences of success and failure, you sometimes become more skeptical, but that’s the beauty of life.”
Alia’s Response to the Question of Visiting Pakistan
Speaking about the pressure of being on a global stage and the eagerness of fans, Alia said that it’s a proud moment to be Indian. During this time, a Pakistani fan asked her when she would visit Pakistan. Alia responded with a casual and clever answer, “I’ll have to go somewhere for work, and I’d be happy to.” Her response immediately sparked discussion among fans, demonstrating that Alia is open-hearted towards her work and her fans.
