Alia and Ranbir's daughter, Raha, is one-and-a-half years old, and yet her darling mother is scared about excessive screen time. Alia, who knows how the kids of today go overboard with watching movies on tablets to playing games on laptops, but she wants to keep her daughter away from it as much as she can. In an interview with her mom, Soni Razdan, for Nod magazine, Alia shared her thoughts on the same, and said that she wants to reduce Raha's screetime. Alia said:
"Like most parents, I worry about the times we live in. I know I’d like to delay her introduction to screentime, but when I do, it would be to familiarize her with good movies. I want her to fall in love with them. Because that imagination is something else."
Alia further added that while growing up, she was never a big reader, but she remembers watching The Lion King, which helped her creatively. She added that she wants her child to play outside as it is important. Alia added that she would try to give her as much as she can. She said:
"I was never a big reader, but I remember watching The Lion King and feeling so creatively stimulated. And of course, there is nothing like being outdoors for a child growing up, so I’ll try and give her that as much as I can."
