Raha Kapoor is already a social media sensation. Whenever Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor’s little angel is papped with them, fans just can’t stop drooling over the glimpses. The little girl is also her doting parents’ apple of the eyes, and the actor duo keeps discussing her in their interviews.

Alia Bhatt is currently promoting her upcoming action thriller Jigra, which will be released in cinemas on October 11.

During one such promotional spree, the duo sat for a candid conversation with Karan Johar and revealed many unheard anecdotes.

In one segment of their conversation, the actress recalled that she and her husband Ranbir Kapoor went to Jr NTR’s house when she was pregnant with her first child. At that time, the Bollywood duo was promoting Bramhastra: Part 1 in Hyderabad, and Jr NTR invited them to his house. Alia said: “This love started when Taarak (Jr NTR’s character in RRR) came very graciously to the Brahmastra press meeting in Hyderabad, and he invited us to his house for dinner."

“We had such a warm evening, and I remember that was the first time that we discussed possible baby names in front of everybody. Ranbir and I were like, ‘If it’s a girl, it’ll be this, if it’s a boy, it’ll be this’," she added. Alia also mentioned that Jr NTR loved the name ‘Raha’ so much that he prayed that his RRR co-star and her husband would pick the same for their princess if they were blessed with a daughter.
