Raha Kapoor, the daughter of Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt can say “Mumma” now and Alia did not let go any chance record the first time she was called by that name. While talking to Allure, Alia remembered how she had recorded Raha saying “mumma” for the first time as proof.

What Alia said

“The first time my daughter Raha said ‘mumma, it was just me and her, we were playing on her playing mat. And before that, the backstory is there was a fight at home about whether she’s going to say ‘mumma’ first or ‘papa’ first. So of course, mumma was like, ‘Say mumma, mumma, mumma! ‘ And Papa was like, ‘Papa! Papa! Papa!’ But when she said it, it was just me and her. So I immediately took out my phone, and said, “Say it again! What did you say? Say it again, say say!” (laughs). And she was like, “Mumma”, low. “Raha, say it in the normal voice.” Then she fully said it, “Mumma”. Of course, we take great pride and joy in that moment. So I remember that moment very well and have it on video.

So if someone needs proof, she said mumma first, Alia said.

She recalled that the first kick Raha did in her was when Alia was filming her international debut, Tom Harper’s 2023 Netflix spy thriller, Heart of Stone abroad. She called up Ranbir to share the moment with him, and he was fast asleep at night in India.
