Ayan Mukerji Shares New Year Photo Dump, Fans Think Alia-Ranbir's Daughter Raha Gave Director Handmade Card

Everyone

has their own way to ring in the new year, including our favourite celebrities. After stepping into 2026, Bollywood glitterati took to their social media handles to share how they welcomed 2026. Joining the list, Ayan Mukerji recently dropped a carousel of pictures on his Instagram handle and showed fans how he enjoyed his tranquil New Year retreat. The filmmaker flew to Binsar, Uttarakhand, choosing the calm of the mountains over the hustle and bustle of city life and loud parties. However, little Raha stole the spotlight despite not being a part of the carousel.

Ayaan got a card from Raha?

Ayan’s photo dump beautifully captured his slow and peaceful start to the year. From a bright morning sun filtering through lush greenery to quiet moments spent reading books amidst nature, the director seemed to embrace stillness and reflection. He also shared glimpses of his hiking adventures, meditation sessions in peaceful surroundings, and indulgent meals enjoyed under the open sky. Adding to the beauty was a stunning sunset shot that reflected the serenity of his mountain stay.However, it was the final slide of the carousel that truly melted hearts. Ayan shared a picture of a colourful, hand-written New Year card, which immediately became the talking point among fans. Sharing the pictures, the filmmaker kept his caption minimal yet evocative, writing, “New Light…"Within minutes of the post going live, social media users flooded the comments section, showering Ayan with New Year wishes. But many were more intrigued by the card than the scenic views. Given Ayan’s close bond with Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, fans were quick to speculate that the handmade card might have been made by their daughter, Raha. One fan commented, "Raha's colouring on last slide", while another asked, "Is it Raha's coloring on the last slide???"Take a look:

Fans want Brahmastra 2

Alongside the adorable speculation, fans also used the opportunity to demand updates on Ayan’s much-awaited project, Brahmastra Part 2. “Waiting for Brahmastra part 2," wrote one user, while another urged, “Bro, release the official cast of Brahmastra 2!!!" Interestingly, rumours about Ayan Mukerji’s return to the Brahmastra universe have been doing the rounds for a while after War 2. These speculations gained momentum after he earlier shared pictures from the mountains with the caption "Pt. 2." With similar scenic backdrops appearing in his New Year post, fans are now convinced that the director might be scouting locations or gearing up to refocus on the fantasy franchise he created. Whether it’s a hint or just a coincidence, Ayan’s New Year post has certainly reignited excitement among fans.
