In a recent revelation about family life and cherished moments, Bollywood star Alia Bhatt shared an endearing insight into her time at home with her daughter Raha Kapoor, who seems to be developing a fondness for the hit song “Naatu Naatu.” This catchy tune, featuring the energetic duo Jr. NTR and Ram Charan, has captured the hearts of many, including Raha, who, despite her tender age, can’t help but be enchanted by its infectious rhythm.
Alia, alongside her husband Ranbir Kapoor, welcomed their daughter Raha in November 2022. As Raha grows amidst the limelight of her esteemed parents, snippets from her daily life have recently come to light, sparking interest among fans and media alike. At a promotional event for her upcoming film “Jigra,” Alia opened up about how “Naatu Naatu” has become a household anthem. According to the actress, the song plays regularly at home, with Raha eagerly requesting, “Mama, play ‘Naatu Naatu’,” leading to delightful moments shared between mother and daughter.
While still a toddler, Raha’s enthusiasm for the music and its lively beat is apparent, even if the complexity of the dance steps is beyond her. Alia sweetly describes how Raha initiates a dance session by asking her mom to join in, sometimes propping Alia up against a support as they attempt to mimic the famous moves together. This form of playful interaction showcases the strong bond and warm family dynamic, as Alia recounts, “Obviously, she doesn’t know how to do the step, but she has seen my clip doing ‘Naatu Naatu’ from some award function and demands to see ‘Mama’s video.’” It’s a touching image of how music and dance can bridge generations, connecting loved ones through joyous participation, regardless of skill level.
Beyond “Naatu Naatu,” Raha’s exposure to her parents’ professional accomplishments also finds its way into their home life. During media interactions, Alia took a moment to discuss how Raha responded to some of her and Ranbir’s iconic musical numbers. When asked which film she would prefer to show Raha first, Alia candidly admitted the difficulty of the decision.
. However, she revealed that her two-year-old daughter had recently encountered her first song from the movie “Student of the Year” and Ranbir’s popular track from “Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani.”
Additionally, the heart-melting narrative continues with Raha’s introduction to Alia’s song “Radha” from her debut film and Ranbir’s energetic “Badtameez Dil.” These melodies form a soundtrack to childhood, weaving through Raha’s experiences. Known to have already glimpsed her mother’s song “Kesariya” from the film “Brahmastra,” Raha’s musical journey began under the loving eyes of her accomplished parents. “I showed the song to her for a bit. Actually, the first song she watched was ‘Kesariya’. Then yesterday, it was ‘Radha Teri Chunari’ and then she saw ‘Badtameez Dil’ at the same time,” Alia recounted.
Meanwhile, on the cinematic front, anticipation builds for Alia Bhatt’s forthcoming project, “Jigra.” Scheduled for release on October 11, the film features rising star Vedang Raina, whose burgeoning career is closely monitored after his debut in last year’s “The Archies.” As the premiere date looms, Alia balances her commitments to the silver screen with her cherished role as a mother, a tribute to her well-rounded life.
On a memorable Christmas in 2023, Alia and Ranbir’s decision to make a public appearance with Raha was met with waves of adoration, showcasing their family unit to fans and the world beyond.
These glimpses into family life with Raha not only highlight the innocence and joy of childhood but also emphasize the universal appeal of music and dance. Even amidst the hustle and bustle of an illustrious career, Alia Bhatt finds profound ease and happiness in the simplicity of a dance with her daughter, framed by the spontaneous and joyful cadence of “Naatu Naatu.”
