Alia Bhatt says daughter Raha is meant for the stage: ‘She’s a leader and a thinker’

She added, “So my little girl is still growing and observing and putting her hand into different things, whether it’s art, dance or sports. But she’s a leader and a thinker in her own way.”

‘Wish for her to be an athlete’

Previously, in a conversation with Femina, Alia spoke about what she imagines her nearly four-year-old daughter might pursue in the future. “I wish for her to actually be an athlete. She’s so competitive and she’s so athletic. She’s only three, but she really jumps around like a bee in a bonnet.”

In another interview with Esquire India, Alia reflected on how motherhood has reshaped her relationship with ambition. While her drive remains intact, she said it has become more focused and intentional. “I’m still very driven. I’m still very ambitious. But my ambition has become more centred. I’m saying no more than I’m saying yes. There’s only this much bandwidth that I have at this time… Otherwise I won’t be able to be as present.”

Alia married Ranbir Kapoor in April 2022, and the couple welcomed their daughter Raha later that year.
