Actress Alia Bhatt has discussed her response in the event about her daughter that if she decides to make acting her job. The actor claimed in a recent interview that she can now ‘Truly prepare and plan for’ it. “Why should I have ‘any expectations’ and then experience disappointment”, she continued. Additionally, Alia discussed about raising a child in the public light.
On November 6, Alia and actor Ranbir Kapoor welcomed their ‘only’ child, a baby girl. Alia announced the birth of their daughter on Instagram, “The happiest news of our lives thus far is that our baby girl has arrived, and what a wonderful princess she is. We are blessed and devoted parents, and we are officially bursting with love!!! Love from Alia and Ranbir.”
In an interview with Marie Claire, Alia spoke during her pregnancy days, “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.”
Speaking about her daughter wanting to pursue her career in acting and jump into Bollywood, Alia said, “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.”
Alia was recently seen in Brahmastra: Part 1- Shiva, which gathered massive responses from the audience. Helmed by Ayan Mukerji, the film also starred Ranbir Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna and Mouni Roy in the lead roles. She will be next seen in director Karan Johar’s upcoming ‘Rocky aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani’ alongside Dharmendra, Shabana Azmi, Jaya Bachchan and Ranveer Singh.
