While the couple continues to feel blessed beyond words about the little one being a part of their family, Pooja Bhatt – Alia's stepsister, has expressed how family dynamics have changed upon Raha’s arrival to the world.

Pooja Bhatt feels Raha is the ‘brightest of all’ in their family

In a chat with news outlet Times Now, Pooja shared how Raha spreads positivity in the family. She said that the one-year-old toddler would soon be capable of ‘giving advice soon’.

“I can assure you. I think she seems to be the brightest of us all. So, I am waiting for the time she will actually be able to vocalize her advice,” Pooja said.

Pooja wrapped up her statement about Raha by saying that ‘Just like new models of Apple phones, every new model in the family gets better’.

Speaking about Pooja’s life, let us tell you that she was married to Manish Makhija - a restaurant owner and video jockey by profession. However, things did not work out between the two following which they divorced each other. They were married from 2003 to 2014.

More about Raha

During a recent interview on CNBC TV 18, Alia Bhatt shared that her daughter, Raha Kapoor, has significantly changed her perspective towards life. She emphasized the importance of teamwork in parenting with her husband, Ranbir Kapoor. 

Notably, Alia declined to offer specific parenting advice despite being asked for guidance. Alia declined because she was of the firm opinion that everyone’s journey is different in parenthood and thus, drives away from such conversations. Alia also acknowledged that she has professional help (or nannies) to take care of Raha in case both Ranbir and her are busy with professional commitments.

Raha was last seen publicly attending the Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s pre-wedding festivities in Jamnagar city of Gujarat. Currently, Alia is at her Mumbai home, while Ranbir jetted off for work Monday morning.

Kiran rao breaks silence on dating and divorce rumors, says she got closer to aamir khan during srk’s film..

Kiran Rao is currently enjoying the success of her critically acclaimed directorial venture, Laapataa Ladies. The project also marks Kiran’s first collaboration with Aamir Khan after their divorce in 2021. During the film promotional events, the former couple shared key insights into their relationship and how they continue to be friends and co-parents of their son Azad. In a recent conversation, Kiran broke silence on rumors that criticized her for Aamir Khan’s divorce from his first wife, Reena Dutta. However, the filmmaker has now clarified that she started dating the Dangal actor much later, during the filming of Shah Rukh Khan’s Swades.

Kiran Rao on dating Aamir Khan during Swades

Filmmaker Kiran Rao is basking in the success of her recent satirical drama film, Laapataa Ladies. During a candid conversation, she opened up about the trolling and wrongful accusations when she began dating Aamir Khan. Kiran and Aamir met on the sets of the 2001 film Lagaan, where Aamir was the lead while Kiran worked as the assistant director, or AD. 

When Aamir Khan and Reena Dutta separated after 16 years of marriage in 2002, Kiran bore the brunt of hatred and criticism as people blamed her for Aamir’s divorce, as the timeline of Lagaan and divorce nearly had a one-year gap.

However, Rao has clarified that they were not romantically involved during Lagaan; in fact, it was 3–4 years later when they started dating after the reconnection. When Kiran was working for Ashutosh Gowariker’s Swades, Kiran revealed that this was the time when love blossomed between Aamir and Kiran.

Kiran and Aamir’s dating timeline

“Lots of people think that Aamir and I connected on Lagaan, we absolutely didn’t. Aamir and I got together during Swades, he was going to shoot Mangal Pandey at the time. We had just shot a couple of commercials with Ashutosh Gowariker for Coke and that is where Aamir and I reconnected. 3-4 years after Lagaan. I wasn’t in touch with him.”

The Dhobi Ghat director also mentioned that she was involved with someone else during Lagaan and would hardly get a chance to connect with Aamir. “When Aamir and I started going out in 2004, everybody thought that this started when we were shooting for Lagaan and this caused the divorce, which was not the fact,” she added.

Kiran and Aamir’s steady relationship is an ideal example of friendship and strong bonds, even after marital separation. The duo respects each other’s personal and professional lives. This led to their joint venture, Laapataa Ladies, which Kiran directed and Aamir co-produced.
