Ranbir Kapoor Carries Ganpati Idol, Shields Daughter Raha from Camera Flashes

Ranbir Kapoor and his family, including wife Alia Bhatt and daughter Raha, were spotted at their Mumbai home for the Ganesh visarjan on Friday evening. The family appeared in traditional attire before proceeding to the puja ceremony.

Alia held Raha close and shielded her from camera flashes as paparazzi took pictures. Ranbir carried the Ganpati idol and was seen chanting, while Neetu, dressed in a blue kurta set, joined him with a thaali. The family's visit to their home has sparked renewed attention on the couple's efforts to protect Raha's privacy.

In 2025, following Saif Ali Khan’s stabbing incident, which led to his decision not to have his children photographed, Ranbir and Alia took a similar stance. When meeting paparazzi informally, the couple asked them to pause taking pictures of Raha. This move has been seen as a response to the increasing media scrutiny surrounding their daughter's life.
