Alia Bhatt just pulled a digital disappearing act, on behalf of her daughter, Raha Kapoor. In a move that left fans both surprised and impressed, Alia has scrubbed her Instagram clean of any pictures clearly showing Raha¡¯s face. From family vacations to special outings, everything that once featured her baby girl in full view has now vanished. The only traces left? A few subtle glimpses where Raha¡¯s face is strategically hidden.
It didn¡¯t take long for eagle-eyed fans to notice the change, especially after previously posted pictures from their glamorous Jamnagar trip and dreamy Paris vacation went missing. But instead of outrage, the internet has responded with overwhelming support. ¡°Not a fan of Alia, but I totally respect her decision. Too many creeps online,¡± remarked one user on Reddit, mirroring the sentiment of many others who feel that celebrity kids deserve more privacy.
This bold move comes amid growing concerns over paparazzi culture and the safety of star kids. Speculation is rife that Alia¡¯s decision might have been influenced by a disturbing incident involving Saif Ali Khan and his son, Jeh. Earlier this year, Saif was allegedly attacked at his own home while trying to shield Jeh from an intruder. A concerned netizen pointed out, ¡°The Saif-Jeh scare probably played a role in this. Alia and Ranbir have even informed paps not to click Raha anymore.¡±
And it seems like Alia is making her stance loud and clear, not just online but offline too. A recent paparazzi video captured her stopping mid-walk to personally address photographers. While the conversation remains undisclosed, fans are convinced she was asking them to back off when it comes to Raha¡¯s pictures.
Interestingly, this conversation about privacy isn¡¯t limited to Raha. Ranbir Kapoor¡¯s niece, Samara, recently found herself in the middle of social media drama when a video made rounds accusing her of rudely pushing Neetu Kapoor out of a frame. However, her mother, Riddhima Kapoor, was quick to shut down the rumors, calling them baseless.
Alia and Ranbir introduced Raha to the world on Christmas 2023, delighting fans with her adorable expressions. But now, with this new boundary firmly in place, it¡¯s clear that the Kapoor-Bhatt household is prioritizing Raha¡¯s privacy over fleeting internet fame. And if the reaction so far is any indication, the internet is totally on board with that choice.
