Alia Bhatt opened up about having a baby at the peak of her career and called it a brave decision. Recalling how people asked her if she would cut her pace down after having a baby, the actress shared that she wanted to embrace motherhood out of love. Calling it a very happy and natural decision, Alia said:
“You would never ask a man a question about whether having a baby at the peak of his career was a brave decision. I’m being asked, ‘Are you willing to cut your pace down because you’re having a family?’ But to me, that’s okay. Maybe after working for 10 years at a certain pace, I felt that, okay, maybe I can cut that down and be a mum. I feel like it was very much led by love. I’ve always been that person who just does things with love. So having a baby was just purely nominated by that. And I don’t even think there was a question. It was just a very happy, natural decision.”
Talking about why she chose a unique name, Raha, for her baby girl, Alia Bhatt shared that she loved the fact that it had beautiful meanings in different languages. However, the new mommy mentioned that they call Raha by different nicknames and also shared the most random names she gave to her baby girl. In her words:
“I just really enjoyed the fact that her name meant so many beautiful things in different languages. It means peace in Arabic, it means joy in Swahili, it means path in Hindi. They all kind of feel like the same thing. We call her different nicknames, but I like calling her pumpkin and pudding and pumpkin latte and cappuccino. I call her the most random names sometimes. Anything that just sounds really cute goes with her.”
