In a heartwarming moment that took social media by storm, Alia Bhatt gave fans a rare glimpse into her personal life with a cozy World Pet Day post, but it wasn’t just her furry companion Edward who stole the spotlight. The photo, featuring Alia lazing with her pet cat, was clicked by none other than her toddler daughter, Raha Kapoor, who seems to have inherited her father Ranbir Kapoor’s flair for photography.

On April 11, Alia shared the candid photo on Instagram, captioning it, “a picture with my prince, clicked by my princess 🐾🫶🏻#HappyPetDay.” The photo captured a relaxed Alia in a green t-shirt and black flared pants, her hair tied up in a neat bun, snuggling up with her Persian cat Edward. But the real surprise? The fact that the picture was taken by her three-year-old daughter, Raha.
Fans were quick to react in the comments, showering the little one with praise for her budding talent. One user wrote, “Rahu’s tiny hands holding the camera, but oh-so-big love in every click. Mama’s little fan is already her sweetest photographer!” Another fan gushed, “That click is more than just a photo, it’s love.” Celebrities also chimed in, with renowned makeup artist Puneet B Saini and filmmaker Siddharth P Malhotra dropping heart emojis to express their admiration.

What made this post extra special was the connection to Ranbir Kapoor, who is known for his off-screen love of photography. Alia has often spoken about her husband’s artistic eye behind the lens. At a public event in 2023, she revealed, “He (Ranbir) isn’t on Instagram, but the best pictures I have ever seen anybody take are his. He always tells me that to take a great photo, you need to love the subject more than you love yourself.” Clearly, little Raha has absorbed this philosophy early on.
Ranbir, known for his performances in films like Barfi and Rockstar, has kept his personal life mostly private, including his social media absence. However, Alia has occasionally shared his clicks, proving his eye for emotion and aesthetics. Now, it appears that their daughter is following in his creative footsteps, offering fans a glimpse of what may be a growing passion.

Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor tied the knot in April 2022 after several years of dating, a love story that began on the sets of their only film together, Brahmastra. Their daughter Raha was born in November 2022, and while the couple has made a conscious decision to limit her exposure on social media recently, sweet snippets like these continue to melt hearts.
The recent post is one of the rare images featuring both Alia and her cat Edward, who has been part of the family for years. While Alia’s feed often includes work-related updates or curated glimpses from brand shoots, personal, unfiltered moments like these strike a chord with her audience. Especially when the story behind the camera adds a whole new dimension.
As Raha Kapoor begins to find her footing in the world—possibly even behind the lens—fans are watching with curiosity and warmth. With parents as creatively inclined as Alia and Ranbir, the possibilities for Raha’s future interests seem limitless. For now, though, she’s won the internet by simply capturing a moment of pure, pet-day joy between her mom and their beloved cat.
