Soni Razdan says Raha is ‘bilkul mast' amid Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor's strict no-photo policy for daughter
Soni Razdan
recently gave a brief yet heartwarming update on her granddaughter Raha Kapoor, amid
Alia Bhatt
and
Ranbir Kapoor
's ongoing request for media privacy regarding their two-year-old daughter. The veteran actress was attending
Neena Gupta
's 66th birthday celebration in Mumbai on Wednesday when paparazzi asked about Raha.
With a warm smile, Soni replied, 'Bilkul mast hai.'
Back in March, Ranbir and Alia addressed the media directly, requesting that Raha not be photographed without consent. Alia had said, 'We don't want to push any sort of legal action, but we'll be left with no choice if people don't listen. Wait for Raha to cross or cover her face while clicking pictures.'
Her concerns were deeply personal. She revealed that one of her biggest fears is someone breaking in and harming their daughter.
'My worst nightmare is someone breaking in and taking Raha away,' the actor had confessed.
Ranbir Kapoor supported his wife's sentiments, acknowledging how easily photos can go viral in today's digital age. 'It might sound like a privilege problem, but as parents, we are trying to protect our child and we will do whatever we can,' he said. 'Today, everybody who has a phone can post anything, and that can spread like wildfire, so that's not in our control.
You are like our family, so we can only request you, and you can help us achieve that.
'
Raha Kapoor's cute gesture towards Ranbir Kapoor melts hearts, wins internet.
Prior to making a public appeal, Alia had quietly archived any previously shared images of Raha from her Instagram account. The couple formally introduced Raha to the world on Christmas Day 2023, sharing a glimpse of their daughter after much contemplation.
Since then, most fans and paparazzi have respected the couple's wishes, carefully avoiding unauthorized pictures or videos of Raha in public spaces.

When Rajesh Khanna admitted he was ‘envious' of Amitabh Bachchan: ‘I always acted as a romantic hero. Never did action films'
Rajesh Khanna, widely regarded as India's first-ever superstar, remains an enduring icon in the history of Hindi cinema. The tales of his stardom, unprecedented and almost mythical in scale, still leave readers awestruck. Fans would gather in droves, his car would be smeared with lipstick, and his photographs were worshipped in homes. Such was the love and hysteria he commanded at his peak. But as with the nature of fame and life, the tides soon turned. The emergence of Amitabh Bachchan as the nation's 'Angry Young Man' gradually overshadowed the romantic image of Rajesh. While Rajesh's stardom was meteoric, Amitabh's proved to be enduring, with a legacy that continues to thrive even today. In an old interview with Lehren Retro, Rajesh acknowledged this shift, openly admitting to feelings of envy toward Amitabh's lasting success. 'He started working with me in Anand and now he has reached such great heights of fame. I not only congratulate him but also only wish the best for him. Always happy to see him grow. I envy him that he started with us and has come a long way. It's a matter of great pride for me and everyone in the industry.' Yet, Rajesh didn't hold back from taking a subtle jibe at the kind of cinema that rose to prominence during Amitabh's rise — especially the shift toward action-oriented narratives. Reflecting on his own legacy as the quintessential romantic hero, he remarked: 'I always acted as a romantic hero. Never did action, nor did I have any ambition to do action films. Always did films which were high on emotions. Did romance, did comedy, did family. And to be honest, what's greater emotion than romance? What a greater emotion than love? So I'm happy that I took that path.' Also Read | Rajesh Khanna couldn't accept the fact that his stardom was fading, Amitabh Bachchan started doing character roles at the right time: Prem Chopra The Rajesh Khanna-Amitabh Bachchan rivalry is one of Bollywood's most storied chapters, often discussed among fans and film historians alike. Even veteran actress Moushumi Chatterjee, known for her work with both actors and her candid takes, has commented on their dynamic. In recent reflections, she alluded to Amitabh's intense work ethic and how his rise to superstardom led to a certain shift in his demeanour. While she acknowledged that Rajesh could be egoistic at times, she attributed it to the overwhelming adoration he once received, stardom that few had experienced at that level.

'Rodgers is downing detox teas right now': Fans react with conflicted emotions over Pittsburgh Steelers-Aaron Rodgers deal
Aaron Rodgers (via Getty Images) Aaron Rodgers' one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers has created a whirlwind of responses on social media, where the fanbase has been left reeling and reveling in shock. With the deal awaiting a physical, the news has created one of the liveliest online reactions the Pittsburgh Steelers fanbase has experienced in years. While cautiously optimistic fans sit back and wonder if this is the real deal, others are going all out, declaring it a football apocalypse—or a comedy special waiting to happen. Aaron Rodgers to Pittsburgh Steelers fuels crazy Reddit madness: Fanbase split, memes released When word came that the Pittsburgh Steelers had reached an agreement with veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers on a one-year contract, subject to a physical, Reddit's r/steelers was ground zero for NFL fan mayhem. 'That would be hilarious if he fails,' wrote one user, echoing a sentiment that was part roast, part prophecy. Another chimed in, 'Rodgers is downing detox teas right now,' mocking the quarterback's controversial past with health and vaccine discourse. One even joked, 'The Steelers can do the funniest thing ever and call Dr. Fauci to administer the physical.' BREAKING NEWS: Aaron Rodgers Signs With the Pittsburgh Steelers Some fans also shot at the move as apparently pointless. 'Honestly, this is an all-time embarrassing period for the Steelers. They have screwed up the QB search so badly for 5 years that they just let a 41-year-old string them along for 2 1/2 months because they are so desperate. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Live Update: The Strategy Uses By Successful Intraday Trader TradeWise Learn More Undo And the funny thing is, this isn't going to help them in any way. He's going to continue the status quo of mediocrity, and they'll have a 1st round pick in the late teens or early 20s again and miss out on the top QBs next year,' one commented. Others even dreamt of entertainment potential. 'Imagine him and Big Ben on a podcast together,' a fan joked, and another replied, 'Peyote vs. Pierogi.' Will Aaron Rodgers face some uncomfortable situations at Pittsburgh Steelers? Apart from the fan reactions, another thing to look forward to may be an uneasy reunion between Aaron Rodgers and DeShon Elliott. Earlier this year, Elliott was making waves with a candid Instagram post saying Rodgers should be left at a retirement home, expressing doubt regarding the quarterback's capacity to continue playing at an elite level. The statement was in line with many fans' and commentators' concerns about whether Rodgers, at almost 41 years old, had any sports energy following an unimpressive season with the Jets. But just days after Rodgers signed his contract with the Steelers, Proactive Sports Performance posted a picture of the two teammates grinning together, looking relaxed. In the photo, Rodgers jokingly points at Elliott, and a tongue-in-cheek caption asks, 'Who retires first?' Elliott went along with the joke, he posted the photo on his Instagram story with the Jeopardy! theme song playing in the background. The union of Aaron Rodgers with new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith also received ironic acclaim: 'Rodgers and Arthur Smith together is going to be pretty interesting,' one commenter quipped dryly. Others were less cautious. 'I'll bet they don't get along," another user wrote, encapsulating what many dread may become a locker room showdown. Also read: Aaron Rodgers leaves fans with unexpected Steelers deal The moment implies the duo might have left the social media shots in the rearview mirror, converting possible tension into initial signs of chemistry. Whether the Pittsburgh Steelers have acquired a franchise hero or simply subscribed to a year of pandemonium, one thing is guaranteed—Steelers fans will be seated and snacking on popcorn, waiting for whatever headlines Rodgers creates next.
