Mumbai/IBNS: Actress Alia Bhatt revealed the name of her baby daughter-Raha-in a super cute post on Thursday evening and soon after Kareena Kapoor Khan expressed her desire to hold her and that she cannot wait.

Alia revealed that her daughter's name was chosen by Dadi (grandmother) Neetu Kapoor.

"The name Raha (chosen by her wise and wonderful Dadi) has so many beautiful meanings...Raha, in its purest form means divine path in Swahili she is Joy, In Sanskrit, Raha is a clan. In Bangla - rest, comfort, relief, in Arabic peace, it also means happiness, freedom and bliss. And true to her name, from the first moment we held her - we felt it all. Thank you Raha, for bringing our family to life, it feels as though our lives have only just begun," the Brahmastra actress captioned the post.

In the comments section, Alia's sister-in-law Kareena Kapoor wrote: "Raha Kapoor can I hold you? Can't wait." Priyanka Chopra, who will work with Alia in Jee Le Zaraa, added, "God bless Raha." Anushka Sharma also dropped heart emoji.

Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor welcomed their first child, a baby girl, at a Mumbai hospital on Nov 6.

In a post, she wrote: "And in the best news of our lives :- Our baby is here.. and what a magical girl she is. We are officially bursting with love - blessed and obsessed parents!!!!! love, love, love, Alia and Ranbir."

Alia and Ranbir, who shared screen space for the first time in the massively popular Hindi film Brahmastra earlier this year, got married in Apr 2022.

The two announced their pregnancy in June this year.
