New Delhi: Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor became proud parents of a baby girl on November 6. The couple on Thursday announced that they have named their daughter Raha. 

Alia Bhatt took to Instagram to make the announcement. She posted a picture that had Alia and Ranbir cradling Raha in their arms. In focus was a Barca jersey in the background, bearing Raha's name. Alia wrote, “The name Raha (chosen by her wise and wonderful Dadi) has so many beautiful meanings… 
Raha, in its purest form means divine path 
in Swahili she is Joy, 
In Sanskrit, Raha is a clan, 
In Bangla - rest, comfort, relief, 
in Arabic peace, 
it also means happiness, freedom & bliss. 
And true to her name, from the first moment we held her - we felt it ALL! ❤️ 
Thank you Raha, for bringing our family to life, it feels as though our lives have only just begun. ☀️☀️☀️”

Alia and Ranbir had announced the birth of a baby girl in a statement that read, “And in the best news of our lives, our baby is here, and what a magical girl she is. We are officially bursting with love, blessed and obsessed parents, love love love Ranbir and Alia.” 

In an interview with Marie Claire, which she did during her pregnancy, Alia had said that she doesn’t want anyone interfering with her child’s life just because she is a celeb kid.  

“I am a little concerned about bringing up a child in the public eye. I talk about it with my friends, with my family, and my husband a lot. I don’t want there to be a, sort of, intrusion into my child’s life. Because at the end of the day, I have chosen this path, but maybe my child may not want to choose this path when he or she grows up...so that’s something that I feel very protective about," he told the magazine.  

She also spoke about if her daughter wants to pursue acting, Alia told the magazine, "I don’t think that’s something that I can really prepare and plan for. I don’t want to have any fixed ideas of how I want that to be. Because why should I have any expectations and then be met with any disappointment or elation or anything of that sort? So they need the slate blank, a bit.”
