Alia Bhatt praises mother-in-law Neetu Kapoor as ‘really super cool’: ‘Ranbir gets that from her’

Alia Bhatt expressed her admiration for her mother-in-law, Neetu Kapoor, describing her as "really super cool" during a recent chat show with her sister-in-law and actress Kareena Kapoor Khan. Alia recalled a time when Neetu Kapoor was showing immense strength and positivity despite her family being burdened with the ordeal of her late husband Rishi Kapoor's cancer diagnosis.

She fondly remembered sharing moments with Neetu Kapoor, also known as "Krishna aunty," and praised her for her ability to maintain a positive outlook even during the most challenging times.

Alia mentioned that Ranbir Kapoor also possesses this quality, noting that it's not easy to stay positive when faced with adversity. She observed that both Alia and Ranbir approach life with a sense of hope and positivity, even when they're stressed or feeling low. Delnna Rrajesh, a psychotherapist and life coach, explained that Neetu Kapoor's approach to staying positive in the face of pain reflects high emotional regulation and emotional maturity.

This ability, known as affect regulation, involves self-soothing while acknowledging reality, as opposed to suppressing feelings or denying hardship. According to Delnna, teaching a child emotional containment by staying composed during times of crisis helps them process pain rather than projecting it onto others.
