Alia Bhatt Shares First Diwali at Krishna Raj Bungalow as Raha Steals the Show

Alia Bhatt has given fans a rare look inside the Kapoor family’s Diwali — and their four-year-old daughter Raha has stolen the show. On Sunday, Alia shared a series of photographs from the family’s celebrations at their new home, Krishna Raj Bungalow, marking the first major Diwali at the residence the family moved into in November 2025.

The pictures are intimate by design. In one frame, Raha plants kisses on both her parents’ cheeks; in another, she watches as a pandit ties a moli thread around Ranbir Kapoor’s wrist during the puja. Alia performed the Lakshmi Puja in a pastel green lehenga choli with a maang patti and gold jewellery, while Ranbir and Raha twinned in white kurta pyjamas and Neetu Kapoor joined the family in green. The family also posed in front of a portrait of the late Rishi Kapoor, seeking his blessings on the occasion. Alia captioned the post, “The light of my life. Happy Diwali to you and yours. Hope you’re surrounded by lots and lots of love.”

The setting is what makes this Diwali different. Krishna Raj Bungalow, the six-storey Pali Hill home in Bandra named after Ranbir’s grandparents Raj and Krishna Kapoor, has been the Kapoor family’s most symbolic address for decades — and this is the first festive season the family has celebrated there since moving in. Later in the night, Alia and Ranbir came out on the balcony to greet the paparazzi waiting outside, a small public moment at the end of a deliberately private day.

The timing adds another layer. Raha, born on November 6, 2022, turned four just days before this Diwali, and the photographs put her at the centre of the celebration rather than at its edges — the kisses, the puja, the matching whites. It is a careful kind of sharing: the couple have always guarded Raha’s privacy, covering her face in early photographs, and this album shows her freely, on their own terms, in their own home.

There is a professional footnote, too. The celebration comes in the middle of the biggest week of Ranbir’s career — his Ramayana: Part One has crossed Rs 500 crore worldwide in four days — and Alia and Ranbir are set to share the screen next in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War, alongside Vicky Kaushal. For now, though, the story is the house, the puja and the little girl in white.
