New Delhi: Bollywood couple Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor are expecting their first child together. To-be father Ranbir is busy these days in the promotion of his upcoming film ‘Shamshera’. The actor revealed in one of his interviews how he plans to split the parenting duties with Alia. He also shared that he wants to be a practical father and be involved in his child’s upbringing. Ranbir also wants Alia not to sacrifice her dreams just because she is having a ‘baby’.
Talking about parenthood, Ranbir told The Indian Express in an interview, “Alia and I have been talking about how we are sharing our responsibilities and how we share our time. We grew up in a generation where our fathers were very busy with work and weren’t around, so we were more or less raised by our mothers, so we were close to our mothers. I was with my kids I want a different dynamic, I want them to be closer to me too.”
Alia and Ranbir tied the knot on April 14 and the actress recently took to Instagram to share the good news of her upcoming baby with a picture from her ultrasound session. While Ranbir is the son of actors Neetu Kapoor and Rishi Kapoor, Alia is the daughter of filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and actress Soni Razdan.
Ranbir also spoke about how he wants Alia to continue her professional journey after embracing motherhood. The ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’ actress is an A-list star and is currently at the peak of her career. “Alia is a very busy working star in this film industry and I don’t want her to give up on her dreams just because she has a child. So we have to plan for a balanced life somewhere where we can both enjoy our personal life and our professional life, so it’s one day at a time, one step at a time, but I have high hopes for it.
