Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor have been navigating the joys and challenges of parenthood since welcoming their daughter, Raha, in November 2022. While the couple is known for their charm and talent, they are also fiercely protective of their little one.

In various interviews and interactions, Alia and Ranbir have shared insights into their parenting styles and concerns. Ranbir has described himself as the "chill dad," while noting that Alia is the "overstressed parent". He mentioned that Alia can be a little overprotective, wanting to shield Raha from everything, but he believes that being too overprotective might hinder the child's ability to adapt and develop immunity. He feels it's important to find a balance and allow Raha to experience the world.

The couple has been particularly concerned about protecting Raha from unnecessary media attention. They have made conscious efforts to shield her face from the paparazzi and have requested them to respect their daughter's privacy. In March 2025, Alia and Ranbir met with Mumbai paparazzi to address their concerns about Raha's privacy, especially after a security breach at Saif Ali Khan's residence. Alia admitted that her "worst nightmare is someone breaking in and taking Raha away". They requested that if photographers happen to capture Raha, they should cover her face with an emoji before posting on social media. While they trust the paparazzi to understand their concerns, Alia warned that repeated violations would leave them with no other choice than to take legal action. They also reminded everyone of Child Privacy Laws and Data Protection Laws that prevent the use of minors' pictures without parental consent.

Despite their concerns, the couple has also shared some adorable moments of Raha with the public. The first official introduction of Raha was during the Kapoor family's Christmas lunch in 2023. Videos circulating online have captured moments of Ranbir making Raha laugh in front of the cameras, with Alia playfully shielding her face from the flashes. Other clips show Raha giving her dad sweet kisses.

Ranbir has also spoken about the family values that his father, Rishi Kapoor, instilled in him and his sister and that he would like to pass on to Raha. He has also shared his feelings about holding Raha for the first time, describing it as a "7000 stars moment" that will remain a core memory of his life.

Alia and Ranbir are trying to give Raha a normal childhood away from the limelight. They are navigating the challenges of raising a child in the public eye while trying to protect her privacy and well-being.
