Gather ’round, Bollywood buffs! It’s your favorite gossip girl, Bollywood Newshound Nisha, here to spill the masala on our beloved B-town celebs. Buckle up because today’s tea involves none other than Alia Bhatt, Junior NTR, and their baby name drama! 🍵
Alia Bhatt, the darling of Bollywood, welcomed her baby girl Raha on November 6, 2022. But here’s a spicy tidbit – before Raha even made her grand entrance, Alia had a heart-to-heart with Junior NTR about potential baby names. Yep, you heard that right! The man who dances like a dream was apparently praying for a baby girl just so the name Raha could be used. Talk about dedication! 🤷♀️
Recently, Junior NTR teamed up with Alia for a promotional spree. They were out and about, pushing their respective films – Alia’s Jigra and Junior NTR’s Devara. And guess who was there to play mediator? None other than Mr. Karan Johar himself. During an interview, Alia spilled the beans about how the baby name saga started. Picture this: a heavily pregnant Alia at a press meet for Brahmāstra in Hyderabad, and Junior NTR casually invites her over for dinner. Because why not, right?
Dinner under the stars, warm Hyderabad evening, and voila! Baby names were being thrown around like confetti. Alia reminisces, "Ranbir and I were discussing names for both a boy and a girl. And Karan, ever the curious cat, asked if Raha was one of them. Alia confirmed, adding that Junior NTR was rooting for it. And guess what? His wish came true. Cue the Bollywood music 🎶
Oh, and let’s not forget the professional ties between these two. Alia and Junior NTR shared screen space in the blockbuster RRR. While Alia is promoting her upcoming movie Jigra, which hits the screens on October 11 (alongside Vedang Raina), Junior NTR is gearing up for the release of Devara on September 27. Busy bees, aren’t they? 🐝
Nisha’s Nutshell: In Bollywood, sometimes all it takes is a dinner invite and a wish upon a star to name a baby. Moral of the story? Always attend dinner invitations; you never know when you’ll end up naming a future star! 🌟
