Alia Bhatt recalls the first time daughter Raha said ‘mama’: ‘I have it on video’

Alia Bhatt recalls the moment her daughter Raha first said "mama," describing it as a special milestone and a playful family competition. During an interview with Allure, the Student of the Year actress revealed that she and Raha were playing on a play mat when Raha uttered the word she had been waiting to hear. Alia recounted that the family had been divided over whether Raha would say "mama" or "papa" first. Ranbir Kapoor, Raha's father, was vocal in supporting "papa," while Alia believed "mama" was the correct choice.

Intrigued by the competition, Alia pulled out her phone the moment Raha said "mama" to capture the moment on video. The actress expressed her joy and pride in the memory, emphasizing that she would show it to anyone who asked for proof. Psychologist Prerna Pant explained that a baby's first "mama" or "papa" is a significant emotional milestone, reflecting the child's growing ability to communicate and connect with loved ones.

The moment creates feelings of joy, pride, love, and validation for parents, who often feel compelled to record it as a cherished part of their family's story.
