Alia recalled a visit to Jr NTR’s house when she was pregnant. Alia and Ranbir were in Hyderabad promoting Brahmastra: Part 1 when Jr NTR invited them for dinner. During the evening, they started discussing baby names. Alia said, “Ranbir and I were like, ‘If it’s a girl, it’ll be this, if it’s a boy, it’ll be that.’” Jr NTR loved the name 'Raha' so much that he hoped they would choose it if they had a daughter.

Alia also revealed that Raha’s name was chosen by her dadi, Neetu Kapoor. The name has beautiful meanings in different languages: in Swahili, it means joy; in Sanskrit, it means clan; in Bengali, it means rest and comfort; and in Arabic, it represents peace, happiness, and freedom.

Alia and Ranbir tied the knot in April 2022, and on November 6, they welcomed their baby girl, Raha Kapoor.
