Bollywood actors Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor were recently spotted in Mumbai participating in the Ganpati Visarjan rituals alongside Ranbir’s mother,
Neetu Kapoor. The family gathered to bid farewell to the deity on the fifth day of the Ganesh Utsav festival, marking the occasion with traditional prayers and ceremonies outside their residence. While the family appeared in festive attire, the event drew significant attention due to Alia Bhatt’s protective actions regarding her daughter, Raha.
As the family navigated the crowd, Ranbir Kapoor carried the idol while Alia Bhatt held their daughter. Throughout the procession, the actress was observed carefully shielding Raha’s face from the surrounding paparazzi, ensuring the child remained away from the camera lenses. This gesture underscored the couple's consistent efforts to limit their daughter's exposure to constant media scrutiny since her birth in November 2022.
Maintaining Privacy Amidst Public Attention
The couple’s approach to their daughter’s privacy has remained a consistent priority. Although Raha’s face was introduced to the public during Christmas 2023, the parents have since been highly selective about media interactions. Neetu Kapoor has also previously requested that photographers refrain from capturing images of her granddaughter. This protective stance reflects the family's broader strategy to balance their public professional lives with a desire for personal discretion, a sentiment they have maintained since their marriage in April 2022.
Professional Commitments and Future Projects
Beyond their family life, both actors are currently preparing for their upcoming professional collaboration in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s highly anticipated film, Love and War. The project, which was officially announced in January 2024, also features Vicky Kaushal. This film marks a significant reunion for Ranbir Kapoor and the director, following their initial collaboration in 2007, and serves as another milestone for Alia Bhatt following her success in Gangubai Kathiawadi. Despite their busy schedules, the couple continues to focus on balancing their high-profile careers with their private family responsibilities.
