Alia Bhatt opens up on staying away from daughter Raha for Met Gala debut

Alia Bhatt made her debut at the Met Gala red carpet in New York City. In an interview with Vogue, the Gangubai Kathiawadi actress revealed that this is the longest she has stayed away from her daughter Raha. In a behind-the-scenes video shared by Vogue's official YouTube channel, Alia shared, “This is the longest I’ve been away from my daughter Raha. She is almost six months now and I’ve only been away from her for like 24 hours before this, like for one day and now it’s almost going to be 4 days."

The actress concluded by saying, "I get a couple of seconds to video call her as soon as I wake up.” Alia and Ranbir Kapoor got married last year on April 14. The couple welcomed their daughter Raha on November 6. The couple has been trying to strike a balance between their work and parenting their daughter. Check out the video here.

Alia Bhatt shared many pictures from the gala event on her Instagram handle along with a long note. An excerpt from her note read, “I wanted to do something that felt authentic (hello, pearls!) and proudly made in India. The embroidery, made with a 100,000 pearls is a labour of love by @prabalgurung. I’m so proud to wear you for my first Met. A girl can never have too many pearls… and the right accessories to complement the look which in our case translated to the bow of pearls on my hair. Oh, and it’s white, for my Choup-ED.”
