Raha coos like a cheetah

Alia fondly narrated how Raha coos like a cheetah and how Ranbir looks a giant when he hold her in his arms.

“The Ranbir I know has always been very sensitive, loyal and supportive. But he has become even more sensitive since Raha was born. He absolutely dotes on her."

The actor joked that Ranbir looks like a giant with Raha in his arms. “It’s adorable to watch the two of them together because he’s had to bulk up quite a bit for his character in Animal, so when he carries her, it’s like this giant picking up a little puppy. Ranbir is such a hands-on father at home that it sometimes gets difficult for me to even hold her for a second. And he’s got very unique ways of hanging out with Raha—he likes to sit with her in front of the window where the breeze comes in and make sure she spends a good amount of time looking at the big green plant there. He thinks of her as this earthly sprite. He’s travelling at the moment, so I try to recreate that same routine with Raha because Ranbir’s constantly nervous that she’ll forget him.”

Pressures of being a working mom

Alia spoke about pressure on her for being a working mother. She said there is a lot of pressure on working women to strike a balance between being a good mom and their work. She added that she ‘works hard’ towards not judging herself and even goes to therapy to 'voice those fears'.

Alia will be seen next in Heart of Stone, Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, and Jee Le Zaraa. Ranbir will be seen in Animal.
