New mom Alia Bhatt skeptical about raising a child in the limelight

Bollywood diva Alia Bhatt has lately become the talk of the town due to her marriage to superstar Ranbir Kapoor. Last month, the couple welcomed their first child, a healthy baby girl. After being in the limelight during her whole pregnancy, the actor revealed her concern about raising a child in the "public eye."

"I am a little concerned about bringing up a child in the public eye," the Darlings actor told the Marie Claire publication.

Bhatt also mentioned that she often talks about this issue with her husband, family, and friends too. "I talk about it with my friends, with my family, and my husband a lot. I don't want there to be a sort of, intrusion into my child's life. Because at the end of the day, I have chosen this path, but maybe my child may not want to choose this path when he or she grows up, so that's something that I feel very protective about," quipped Alia.

On being asked about her child's future career in acting, the RRR actor shared that she has no expectations. She said, "I don't think that's something that I can really prepare and plan for. I don't want to have any fixed ideas of how I want that to be. Because why should I have any expectations and then be met with any disappointment or elation or anything of that sort? So they need the slate blank, a bit."

The power couple tied the knot in April 2022 and had their first child in the same year. The duo announced the news of her daughter's arrival in an Instagram post, with a heartwarming message. 

"And in the best news of our lives: Our baby is here...and what a magical girl she is. We are officially bursting with love - blessed and obsessed Parents! Love, love, love Alia and Ranbir," the post read.
