Alia, with a sense of vulnerability, shared the poignant incident when an almost snapshot of her little one, Raha, escaped into the public domain.

She recounted the turbulent times, saying, “It was my first time shooting after giving birth, and no matter what anybody says, it takes your body a really long time to bounce back. I was not sleeping at night, rushing between shoots, and coping with the demands of motherhood.” Alia elaborated on the support she received from Ranbir, who adjusted his own schedule to ensure her ease, emphasizing, “I remember calling Ranbir up and saying, ‘Listen, I am really finding it very difficult.’ He pushed his work aside and assured me, ‘Don’t worry, I am going to come and pick her up.'”
A plan was crafted, and Raha would stay with Ranbir who stepped in for daddy duties. Despite the thoughtful arrangement, Alia confessed to experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions when she stumbled upon a photo revealing a glimpse of Raha’s face. The overwhelming mix of guilt and separation anxiety washed over her, leading to a breakdown. Alia clarified, “I realized I was not breaking down because I don’t want people to see her face.” She also said that It was just too many emotions put together, and she is so protective of her loved ones that sh just felt like, Oh god, I don’t want that conversation. But also she later realized that she was exhausted and overwhelmed at that time.
The conversation then pivoted to the moment Alia broke the news of her pregnancy to none other than the ever-dapper Karan Johar. Expecting a myriad of reactions, Alia anticipated that the revelation might derail Karan’s tight film schedule. To her surprise, Karan’s initial response was far from what she expected.

Alia chuckled as she recounted, “I thought Karan is going to get a heart attack because of his film schedule being pushed by many, many months because I will be pregnant for these many months, and we won’t be able to do it.” Contrary to Alia’s concerns, Karan, in a state of sheer delight, hardly even contemplated the film schedule. For the first 10 minutes, he did not even think about the film because he was so ecstatic. He was planning out my schedule, ‘Okay, so this is when the due date is, and after that, you do a cover shoot and other things.'”
