Bollywood stars Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor have a playful rivalry when it comes to their daughter Raha Kapoor’s first words. In a recent interview, Alia shared an adorable moment where she confirmed that Raha said “mumma” first, settling the light-hearted debate between the couple.
Alia Bhatt spoke about how she and Ranbir had a friendly competition over whether their daughter would say “mumma” or “papa” first. According to Alia, both parents were actively encouraging Raha by repeatedly saying their respective titles to her during playtime. Finally, while spending time on Raha’s play mat, Alia was delighted to hear her daughter say “mumma” for the first time.
To make the moment even more memorable, Alia quickly grabbed her phone to capture Raha’s first word on video. Reflecting on the joyous experience, Alia said, “I immediately pulled out my phone and asked her to say it again. She first said it in a hushed voice, but when I prompted her, she said ‘mumma’ loud and clear.”
Alia Bhatt Cherishes the Moment
The moment was not only special for Alia but also marked a personal victory, as she jokingly revealed that she now has proof that Raha’s first word was “mumma.” Alia expressed her happiness about the experience, saying, “Of course, we take great pride and joy in that moment. I remember it so clearly and have it on video, so if anybody needs proof, she said ‘mumma’ first!”
Alia also shared another personal milestone related to her pregnancy. She recalled the first time Raha kicked in her womb while she was filming her international debut in Heart of Stone. Despite being far from home, she immediately called Ranbir to share the exciting news, though he was fast asleep in India at the time.
