Alia Bhatt recently opened up about how she and her husband, actor Ranbir Kapoor, are navigating through their journey of parenthood and shared that while she comes from a priviliged background where she can afford help, she is always worried because it is not always easy to split responsibilities between her and Ranbir.

“I steer away from giving parenting advice because I feel everybody’s journey is different. I come from a position of privilege where I can afford help if I am not available. My husband (Ranbir) and I, very early on, decided that either of us should be there, available for Raha at all times. So we are constantly splitting our roles. If I am travelling he’s home, if he’s travelling I am at home, just one of us should be with her at all times. If we cannot manage to schedule we have grandparents ready to kind of jump up and be happy helpers,” Alia said in an interview with CNBC TV 18.

Alia then opened up about how balancing responsibilities is still a challenge for her and that she constantly worries if she’s making the right decisions for her daughter Raha.

She said, “To be honest with you, the balance is never going to be easy. Women and men in our country have worked for years and have brought up kids, and kids have grown up and have become their own person. But, as a parent, as a mother, you are just always you are always worried and nervous whether you are making the right decision or not. I think the day I became a mother I opened up my life to worrying non-stop, so I am always worrying and I am just comfortable with worrying. All I can say is that I do my best and leave everything to the rest.”

Alia and Ranbir welcomed Raha, their daughter, on November 6 2022.
