If sources close to Bollywood’s elite are to be believed, Ranbir Kapoor, the scion of the iconic Kapoor family, is making headlines not only for his acting prowess but also for a grand paternal gesture that is set to position his daughter Raha Kapoor as a contender for the title of the wealthiest child in the Indian film industry.
Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, the power couple of Bollywood, have consistently drawn the adoration of fans and the media, especially following the birth of their daughter, Raha. The proud parents are reportedly leaving no stone unturned to shape a fairytale life for their princess. Ranbir, especially, seems to have been swept off his feet by fatherhood, and it has strongly reflected in his latest decision concerning his daughter’s future.
Captured by Yogen Shah, the picture-perfect moment of Raha with her father Ranbir highlights the bond they share. This connection has purportedly led Ranbir to make a breathtaking move: he plans to bequeath to Raha a princely gift, a legacy even before she learns to walk. The buzz is that Ranbir intends to register the Krishna Raj bungalow, reportedly valued at an astonishing Rs 250 crore, in Raha’s name, an act which would render her the richest star child in tinsel town.
An insightful source has spilled to Bollywood Life the couple’s equal investment in constructing their dream house. “The house will cost more than Rs 250 crore once it’s all done,” the source stated. This figure seemingly dwarfs the renowned residences of other Bollywood legends, infamously Shah Rukh Khan’s Mannat and Amitabh Bachchan’s Jalsa.
It doesn’t end there. With a combination of paternal love and immense wealth, Ranbir Kapoor is preparing to pen the bungalow in Raha’s name, catapulting her status to the most affluent star kid on the block. Alongside this extravagant abode, Ranbir and Alia are also owners of four lavish flats in the posh Bandra neighborhood, further enhancing their impressive property portfolio.
Neetu Kapoor, Ranbir’s mother, is anticipated to be the co-owner of the bungalow, following the wishes of the late Rishi Kapoor, who had named her as a joint owner in his estate. Despite Neetu Kapoor’s own financial stability, recently demonstrated by her purchase of a 15-crore residence in Bandra, there is speculation that the completion of the bungalow could see the Kapoor family residing together, continuing the legacy of one of Bollywood’s most storied families.
On the professional front, Ranbir Kapoor has his hands full, reveling in the success of Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s “Animal” and receiving constant attention for his upcoming role in Nitesh Tiwari’s epic “Ramayana,” in which he is set to play Lord Ram, with actress Sai Pallavi portraying Sita. The massive production’s pre-production has faced delays, owing to its colossal scale and intricate casting requirements.
Simultaneously, Alia Bhatt’s latest cinematic venture, Karan Johar’s “Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani,” captures a quirky love tale between an eccentric Punjabi lad and a suave, intelligent Bengali woman. Starring alongside Ranveer Singh, the film boasts an ensemble cast including Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan, and Shabana Azmi, among others.
As the couple furthers their legacy on the silver screen, they also seem to be building an illustrious one for baby Raha, who might just walk the corridors of a bungalow that stands tall amidst emblems of Indian cinema royalty. Ranbir Kapoor’s fatherly affection shows through these grand gestures, infusing Bollywood chatter with tales of love, legacy, and the making of a little princess’s future empire.
