Internet thinks Raha looks like baby Kareena Kapoor, has Raj Kapoor's eyes
The internet is abuzz with reactions to Raha Kapoor's face reveal. Social media platform Reddit saw a flood of posts where the daughter of Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt is being compared to various members of the family tree.
One Reddit user shared a post with a collage of Raj Kapoor and Raha's eyes. The caption read, "Those Raj Kapoor eyes - Raha Kapoor." Another user of the site shared a collage of Raha and Kareena Kapoor Khan's childhood photos. The caption read, "Kareena's childhood pics and Raha!"
It seems that these opinions crossed over on social media platforms. Even on X, one user shared, "Raha got the eyes of Raj Kapoor." Yet another X user shared a collage indicating that Raha has grandfather Rishi Kapoor's eyes and aunt Kareena's face.
Other reactions included the internet gushing over Raha's genes. "Please someone describe how she ended up getting the best genes from both sides," one X user questioned. "Karisma Kapoor also has the same eyes. Kapoor genes really playing their part," commented another.
Karishma also has the same eyes. Kapoor genes really playing its part

Actor Hira Mani, too, has a rather unique take - but on Ranbir. While the world is gushing over the star and his recent controversial success, Animal, the Pakistani star had a completely different take on the Bollywood heartthrob.
Recently, images of Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt went viral, but for a very specific reason. The couple officially revealed daughter Raha's face to the world, and what a grand reveal it was. The videos spread like wildfire, and soon enough, Raha's face was on every news portal and media outlet. It is on this stock of images and videos that Hira passed some comments.
Taking to her Instagram Story, the actor shared an image of Ranbir and Raha. She tagged local actor Sami Khan and likened him to the Animal star. "Why does this look like you?" She asked the star. She also shared an image of Raha to her IG Story, saying, "Haye" with a red heart emoji.
Recently, Ranbir and Alia were papped with their daughter by the awaiting photographers ahead of the Kapoor family's Christmas lunch on Monday. This was the first time the couple had publicly stepped out with their toddler.
Donning adorable festive outfits, Raha and mum Alia along with the Animal star, posed for the paparazzi. The one-year-old bears a striking resemblance to her late grandfather, Rishi Kapoor, as per the Indian media. Raha, like her cousins Taimur, Jeh and Inaya, also has adorable coloured eyes - hers, however, are blue.
While this is the first time the couple showed face to the public for the first time, the couple had earlier maintained their stance on keeping their firstborn away from the public eye. Alia, while appearing on the episode of Koffee With Karan season 8 along with Kareena Kapoor Khan, shared her two cents on the matter. The Gangubai Kathiawadi star revealed that she broke down when her daughter's pictures were leaked on social media.
During his appearance, host Karan asked the renowned actor, “I think she (Alia) is very fiercely protective of her (Raha). Why is that?” To this, Alia replied, “At that time I remember basically I felt like a picture came out of hers, and it was our schedule in Kashmir for Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. It was a very, very difficult schedule for me because it was my first time shooting after giving birth. And no matter what anybody says, it takes really long for your body to bounce back.”
She furthered, "I wasn't sleeping at night, I was feeding, I was rushing in between shoots. So I called Ranbir and I told him I was finding it very difficult so he pushed his work and said 'Don't worry, I'm going to come and pick her up.' The Darlings star went on, "It was very relaxing for me but it was also the first time I was separating from (Raha) so I felt very guilty. So that guilt carried on and it was just one and a half days later that I travelled back and I saw a photo where the side of her face was kind of visible and I just broke down."
Adding that she's just being protective of her loved ones, Alia said, "And I realise I wasn't breaking down just because I didn't want people to see her face. When we meet people Ranbir and I are like please give her your blessings, Raha do namaste, this that. We are proud of our baby. But it was too many emotions put together and I'm so protective of my loved ones that I was just like, oh God I don't want that conversation. But I realise I was just exhausted and overwhelmed at that time.''
