November has been a month of double celebrations for Ranbir Kapoor, with his much-awaited film Ramayana hitting theatres and daughter Raha celebrating her birthday.

She praised his parenting style and recalled a hilarious incident involving herself, Raha and her doting father.
Neetu Kapoor on Ranbir, Raha’s bond
In a conversation with Curly Tales, Neetu Kapoor spoke about Ranbir’s bond with Raha and shared, “I like what Ranbir has with Raha every night. He’ll ask her what major happened today, what made you happy and what made you sad, and then she expresses. I think that is wonderful.”
Recalling an incident, she gushed, “I was doing aarti, and while performing, the plate hit Raha’s head. At night, when Ranbir asked Raha what made you sad, Raha said Dida hit me on the head. He FaceTimed me and said, ‘Mom, you hit my child?’ I said, ‘No, baccha, I was performing the aarti. She was standing below, so she got hit by it.'” Neetu Kapoor continued, while sharing a funny incident.
Earlier, while speaking on a podcast, Neetu spoke about Ranbir and Alia and their parenting style. “Raha listens to Alia, and she is a great mother, but Ranbir is like a friend to her. What a father. Hats off. Both are amazing. He does all the fun and masti with her, but she is very scared of her mother because Alia is a disciplinarian,” Neetu shared.
More about Ranbir and Alia
For the uninitiated, Raha was born on November 6, 2022, to Alia and Ranbir, who had tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at their Mumbai home on April 14, 2022. The couple announced that they were expecting their first child in June 2022, with Alia sharing a picture from her sonography session.
Recently, Ranbir, in a conversation about his film Ramayana, described Raha as the “diya” of his life and said the coincidence of playing Lord Ram while becoming a father had been a turning point for him. He had also spoken about how fatherhood changed his priorities and his outlook towards life.
Alia, too, has previously spoken about Ranbir as a hands-on father. She described him as sensitive and said that his love for Raha is evident in the way he interacts with her.
