Alia Bhatt sends email to Raha

Since welcoming daughter Raha into their lives, Alia Bhatt has become a devoted mother. Ranbir Kapoor and Alia became parents in November 2022. Alia recently shared her motherhood journey in an interview, detailing her experiences and how Ranbir has transformed since Raha's arrival. Alia also expressed understanding for her own mother's feelings, now knowing the profound love and connection a parent has for their child, regardless of their age.

Alia shared on Jay Shetty's podcast that she writes daily emails to Raha, filled with memories, photos, videos, and short notes, creating a digital time capsule for her daughter to enjoy when she grows up.

I'm doing this thing where I'm sending Raha emails. I've been doing this ever since she was born. I do it every month. Just an amalgamation of photos, videos, what happened, thoughts, and feelings. Somebody said it's like a summary. I thought it's a great idea. It's a life memory book. I don't have the discipline and the energy to fill out a physical memory book. So I thought this is a nice, digital memory book. It's easier and it's nice. Maybe when she's 15, I'd gift it to her and say, 'Listen, this is all the memories we collected for you over the years.Go ahead, have some fun

Talking about her parenthood journey, "I know I can't be a perfect parent. I can just be good enough. But I have to be able to be so present and one with her feeling what she's feeling, asserting certain values and behaviour, but also just letting her be. There are so many of these permutations and combinations that I'm constantly toying with. So that's another worry— the future, the life. Then of course, there's the physical thing - has she eaten well, is she sleeping well, what's gonna happen tomorrow, what's gonna happen day after."

Alia acknowledged her privilege in having help with Raha and a strong support system within her family. "And again, I'm a working mum. I have to acknowledge my privilege. I have a great support system around her. But the worry is not going to leave me. Like, 'Oh I'm away, will she pick up on something I wouldn't want her to pick up on?' All these things. But you just take one day as it comes and just move forward. It's a very real feeling and it's not one I got figured out from day one. I'm constantly wrapping my head around it on a daily basis. But apart from that, it's joyous."

Alia shared that they already have a name picked out for a baby boy, in case they have another child after Raha and it's a son.
