In a recent conversation with renowned actor Jr NTR and celebrated filmmaker Karan Johar, actress Alia Bhatt revealed a touching anecdote about the first time she and her husband, actor Ranbir Kapoor, discussed potential names for their baby. This significant discussion took place at Jr NTR’s residence in Hyderabad.
### Jr NTR, Alia Bhatt, and Ranbir Kapoor’s Close Bond
Jr NTR and Alia Bhatt shared the screen in SS Rajamouli’s blockbuster film “RRR” in 2022, and beyond their professional relationship, they have developed a close personal friendship. In a candid dialogue, Alia reminisced about how this bond was further strengthened when Jr NTR, also affectionately known as Taarak, graciously attended the “Brahmastra” press meet in Hyderabad.
### The Special Evening in Hyderabad
Alia Bhatt recalled, “This deep bond began with Taarak’s gracious gesture of attending the Brahmastra press meet in Hyderabad. I was fully pregnant at that time. He invited us over for dinner after the event. We spent a warm evening on his terrace, chatting and enjoying each other’s company. It was on that terrace that Ranbir and I had our first discussion about potential baby names in front of everyone. Ranbir said, ‘If it’s a girl, it’ll be this. If it’s a boy, it’ll be this.’”
Adding a playful touch, Jr NTR interjected, “I started praying, I wish it was Raha. And finally, there she is (laughs).”
### The Impact of Parenthood on Their Careers
