Actor Alia Bhatt is busy promoting her upcoming release, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, with her co-actor Ranveer Singh. The two actors were in Mumbai recently where Alia revealed her aspirations for her eight-month-old daughter Raha.

While speaking to the media, Alia revealed that she wants her daughter to become a scientist. A viral clip of her from the event has her saying, “When I look at my daughter, I say, ‘Tu toh scientist banegi’ (You will become a scientist) because I wanted to be a scientist.” As she said this, the audience cheered for her.

Alia married Ranbir Kapoor last year in April, and in November 2022, the couple welcomed daughter Raha Bhatt Kapoor. The new mom has often spoken about suffering from mother’s guilt when she leaves Raha for work.

She told Vogue, “It does make me anxious to think whether I am doing right by my baby and work. There’s so much pressure on women to ace both…almost like this old-school dogma that once you have a baby, you have to martyr your career or you’re not a model mum. It’s very important for new mothers to get that time off work to gather their bearings, and it’s equally crucial for corporations and industries to grant them that time instead of writing them off,” she said.

At the event, Ranveer Singh revealed he scored zero on his mathematics exam. He asked the audience if anyone scored zero out of hundred in Maths and then said, “Main laaya hoon. Jisko mila tha maths mein anda (I am the one. I got zero on hundred). Zero on hundred and minus ten for talking. So, minus ten on hundred.”

Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, helmed by Karan Johar, is scheduled to release in the theaters on July 28. The film marks the return of Johar to film direction after Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.
