Actors Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor were spotted with their daughter Raha and Neetu Kapoor outside their Mumbai residence on Friday (September 18) as the family came together for Ganpati Visarjan on fifth day of Ganeshotsav. While the family performed the traditional rituals and bid farewell to Lord Ganesha, Alia was seen making a conscious effort to keep Raha’s face away from the paparazzi.
In a video doing the rounds on social media, Ranbir is seen carrying the Ganpati idol, while Alia holds Raha in her arms. As photographers gathered around the family, the actress carefully shielded her daughter’s face.

Alia and Ranbir have largely maintained a protective approach towards Raha’s privacy. While the couple made their daughter’s face public during their Christmas celebrations in 2023, they have since been selective about allowing her pictures to be clicked or shared publicly.
Alia had also removed pictures from her official Instagram account in which Raha’s face was clearly visible. More recently, Neetu Kapoor was seen requesting paparazzi photographers not to click pictures of Raha.
Raha was born in November 2022, months after Alia and Ranbir tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in April that year. The couple had dated for several years before getting married.
