Raha was born on November 6, 2022, to celebrity couple Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt. “I do look at human narrative with a different gaze, especially after I became a grandfather,” Mahesh Bhatt said acknowledging that he is yet to recover from the wonder of his own child and their achievements.
Talking about the new dimension of motherhood around him, Bhatt added, “Alia is not just an astounding actor but also a great mother.” The filmmaker further called Raha a ‘gift from the skies’ who came out of nowhere and left everyone awestruck. “If I can be brutally honest, my gaze has shifted towards the grandchild. You start doting on her a little more than your own daughter,” Bhatt added on an emotional note.
The veteran filmmaker was also asked about which film he would like Raha to see first, to which Mahesh Bhatt said, "If you asked me, the movie that I want Raha to watch when she grows up to be a young girl, and is maybe sweet 16, is Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin.” The movie was a 1991 release starring Aamir Khan and Mahesh’s eldest daughter, Pooja Bhatt in the lead.
According to the filmmaker that movie was one of the most heartwarming films where Pooja was ‘out of this world’, and Aamir was ‘really good’. Bhatt feels Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin is a movie that has the resonance of a human heart and it would be the right pick for Raha’s introduction to cinema.
