Priyanka Chopra and Ranveer Singh have reacted to the name of Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor’s newborn daughter, Raha. Taking to Instagram on Thursday, Alia had posted a photo giving a partial glimpse of her daughter and revealing her name.
In the photo, Ranbir Kapoor held Raha as Alia looked at her. Their photo was blurred and the focus was on a frame seen on a wall. The frame had a mini jersey of the football club Barcelona with Raha written on the back.
Sharing the picture, Alia captioned it, “The name Raha (chosen by her wise and wonderful Dadi) has so many beautiful meanings…Raha, in its purest form means divine path, in Swahili she is Joy, In Sanskrit, Raha is a clan, In Bangla – rest, comfort, relief, in Arabic peace, it also means happiness, freedom & bliss. And true to her name, from the first moment we held her – we felt it ALL! Thank you Raha, for bringing our family to life, it feels as though our lives have only just begun.”
Reacting to the post, Priyanka Chopra commented, “God bless Raha (heart eyes emoji).” Ranveer Singh dropped red heart and evil eye amulet emojis. Kareena Kapoor wrote, “Raha Kapoor can I hold you, can’t wait.” Anushka Sharma, Sonam Kapoor, Sonakshi Sinha, Zoya Akhtar, Soni Razdan, Shweta Bachchan, and Dia Mirza dropped red heart emojis.
