Bollywood star Alia Bhatt recently shared a heartfelt reflection on love, family and motherhood that has resonated with fans across the industry. In a touching video created for Esquire India, Alia read a letter she wrote to her younger self, offering insight into her journey from aspiring actor to wife and mother — and describing her relationship with husband Ranbir Kapoor and daughter Raha Kapoor in deeply personal terms.

This video starring Alia Bhatt was created for Esquire India. Referring to her husband Ranbir Kapoor, Alia shares, “Dear little me, please don’t cry over that stupid boy in high school, it’s not worth it. I promise you that one day, you’ll meet the best boy in the whole world. The one you’ve always secretly had a crush on and he’s going to love you with respect, comfort, peace and laughter, he will be your safest place, your best friend and he knows everything about you. You know that thing you always wanted, someone to read your mind, he will do that for you.”

The actor also addressed motherhood with warmth and humour. Reflecting on her daughter Raha, who recently turned three, Alia wrote, “Little me, you're going to have good and bad days but you are mostly going to have grateful days and that dream of taking care of a mini you, that comes true. You’re going to have the most beautiful daughter in the world and your heart will grow in ways that you cannot imagine. She’s also going to be a little lawyer, so prep up.”
