Actor Alia Bhatt has offered fans another adorable peek into her personal life, joking that despite starring in the upcoming film Alpha, she isn't the real "Alpha" at home. She added that her husband, Ranbir Kapoor, isn't the "Animal" either—a playful nod to his blockbuster film.
Speaking during a promotional interaction, Alia quipped that the true boss of their home is their daughter, Raha Kapoor, whose presence has transformed their lives.
Raha Is the Real Boss
Drawing laughter from the audience, Alia said that while people associate her with Alpha and Ranbir with Animal, those titles don't reflect what life is actually like at home.
According to the actor, little Raha is the one calling the shots, with both parents happily revolving their schedules around their daughter.
The candid remark resonated with fans, who appreciated the couple's relatable take on parenting.
A Playful Nod to Their Films
Alia's comments cleverly referenced two of Bollywood's biggest titles.
She headlines Alpha, one of the upcoming films in Yash Raj Films' Spy Universe, while Ranbir earned widespread acclaim for his performance in Animal. By contrasting their on-screen personas with their real-life family dynamics, Alia highlighted the difference between cinema and everyday life.
Fans Love the Couple's Parenting Moments
Since welcoming Raha in 2022, Alia and Ranbir have occasionally shared heartwarming anecdotes about parenthood during interviews, while largely choosing to keep their daughter's life private.
Whenever they do speak about Raha, their comments often become a talking point on social media, with fans praising the couple's candidness and sense of humour.
Alia's latest remark quickly gained traction online, with many fans calling it "cute," "relatable" and "the sweetest thing on the internet today."
Busy on the Professional Front
Alia is currently promoting Alpha, where she takes on an action-oriented role as part of YRF's expanding spy franchise. The film marks a significant milestone in her career as she steps into a lead role in one of Bollywood's biggest cinematic universes.
Meanwhile, Ranbir Kapoor has a packed slate of projects, including high-profile films that continue to keep him among Hindi cinema's busiest stars.
While both actors are occupied with demanding professional commitments, Alia's latest comments underline that, at home, their biggest priority remains their daughter.
