Veteran actress Neetu Kapoor is currently enjoying rave reviews for her performance in Daadi Ki Shaadi. The film, also starring Kapil Sharma, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, and Sadia Khateeb, hit theatres on May
8, and it has been receiving positive reviews from the audience. Recently, while promoting the film, Neetu Kapoor candidly opened up about her granddaughter Raha Kapoor. The veteran actress also showered praise on Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor for the way they are raising their daughter.
During her appearance on Soha Ali Khan’s podcast, Neetu Kapoor spoke about Raha’s bond with Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor. She said, “Raha listens to Alia and she is a great mother, but Ranbir is like a friend to her. He does all the fun and masti with her, but she is very scared of her mother because Alia is a disciplinarian.” Praising Alia’s parenting style, Neetu Kapoor shared that the actress is extremely good with her daughter and is focused on teaching her the right values, including limiting television and avoiding unnecessary distractions.
The veteran actress also humorously revealed that she often has playful disagreements with Alia over pampering Raha too much. She added, “I am always fighting with her, saying, ‘Alia, at least let me give her one chocolate.’ But she says, ‘No, can’t you understand sugar is not good for her?’ I tell her, ‘It’s okay, I am the grandmother, let me spoil her.’”
When asked whether children are generally closer to their maternal grandmothers than their paternal grandmothers, Neetu shared her perspective on the subject. She explained that mothers often speak more about their own mothers, which naturally helps build a stronger bond. However, Neetu added that she feels fortunate because the family lives together, allowing her to share a close relationship with Raha Kapoor, who affectionately calls her “Dida.”
Ranbir and Alia, who dated each other for quite some time, tied the knot in April 2022. Later in the same year, in November, they welcomed their little bundle of joy, Raha.
