Alia Bhatt recently provided a look into her family’s Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations, sharing a series of images on social media that captured the intimate
festivities. The actor documented the week-long observance, which included welcoming the deity into their home and participating in traditional rituals alongside her husband, Ranbir Kapoor, and mother-in-law, Neetu Kapoor. Among the highlights shared by the actor was a moment featuring her daughter, Raha, who created a crayon drawing of the Ganesh idol. In keeping with the couple’s established stance on their daughter’s privacy, the child’s face was obscured by a heart emoticon in the shared images. This approach reflects a broader decision made by the couple to limit public exposure of their daughter, a move that has seen them request that paparazzi refrain from photographing or filming the child during public outings.
Family Traditions and Public Privacy
The family’s observance concluded with the Ganesh visarjan, where Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Neetu Kapoor were seen participating in the final rituals. During the event, Ranbir Kapoor carried the idol while accompanied by his family, with the group chanting traditional prayers. Throughout the proceedings, the couple remained mindful of the surrounding media, with Alia Bhatt taking steps to shield her daughter from camera flashes as they moved between locations.The couple’s decision to prioritize their daughter’s privacy follows a similar precedent set by other public figures, with the pair previously engaging with the media to request that their child not be photographed. Since that time, Alia Bhatt has removed earlier images of her daughter from her social media accounts and now only shares content where the child’s face is not visible.
