Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt were recently seen in Mumbai as they participated in the traditional Ganesh visarjan ceremony. The couple, accompanied by
Neetu Kapoor and their daughter, Raha, marked the conclusion of the festivities with a public appearance outside their residence. The family members were dressed in traditional attire for the occasion, with Ranbir wearing a rust-orange kurta and white pyjamas, while Neetu Kapoor opted for a blue kurta set. During the event, Ranbir Kapoor was seen carrying the Ganpati idol, leading the family in chants of "Ganpati bappa morya." Neetu Kapoor joined in the proceedings, carrying a traditional thaali. Alia Bhatt, dressed in a pink-and-green kurta suit, remained close to her daughter throughout the outing. As the family navigated the area, Alia was observed shielding Raha from the intensity of the paparazzi's camera flashes, maintaining a protective stance as they moved.
Privacy Concerns and Media Relations
The couple's approach to the media during this public event reflects their ongoing efforts to manage the exposure of their daughter. Following a decision similar to that taken by Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor regarding their own children, Ranbir and Alia have previously engaged with the paparazzi to request that they refrain from photographing or filming Raha. Reports have suggested that the couple has expressed a preference for privacy, indicating that they may consider legal avenues if their requests for discretion are not respected.Alia Bhatt has also adjusted her social media presence to align with these privacy goals. She has removed previous images of her daughter from her Instagram account and now only shares content where Raha's face is obscured. This shift in public engagement highlights the couple's commitment to maintaining boundaries for their child's privacy amidst their high-profile careers in the film industry.

He is working on Nitesh Tiwari’s multi-part Ramayana, in which he portrays Rama alongside Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana.
