Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor, who became parents to their daughter, Raha Kapoor, in November 2022, have been devoted to her since her arrival. The couple, who had a private wedding in April 2022, has celebrated every milestone with their little one, showing their love and care. The duo has made several changes in their lives for their daughter and learnt a lot after her arrival.
Ranbir Kapoor sings a Malayali lullaby to his daughter, Raha
During a recent appearance on The Great Indian Kapil Show season 2 to promote her upcoming movie, Jigra, Alia Bhatt shared some heartwarming insights into her family life. She revealed that Ranbir Kapoor, despite his busy schedule, is a hands-on father who goes to great lengths to entertain their daughter, Raha. Alia also shared that Raha’s Malyali nanny sings her the song, Unni Vavavo, and the little one requests everyone to sing her the lullaby when she’s sleepy.
But as the son is in a different language and no one knew the song so, Ranbir Kapoor learnt the song for his daughter, and now he sings it to her before sleep. Alia praised Ranbir’s efforts to go the extra mile for their daughter’s comfort and happiness.
What is the meaning of the son, Unni Vavavo?
Sung by the iconic K S Chithra for the movie, Sandhwanam, Unni Vavavo is a lullaby that tugs at the heartstrings of every Malayalam-speaking home. Mohan Sithara’s music, and lyrics of Kaithapram, has created a song that is not just a lullaby, but a vessel of our deepest emotions. The chorus, ‘ Unni Va Va Vo Ponnunni Va Va Vo,’ translates to:
“Sleep, my little one, sleep, my golden child.”
The second line of the song is closely connected to Raha, as she also possesses blue eyes. The phrase “Neelapeelikkannum Pooti Poonchelaataalo” means:
“Close your blue lotus eyes and let’s head to Poomchela.”
Alia Bhatt talked about Raha and Ranbir’s bond
In the same episode, Alia Bhatt revealed that Ranbir invents random games for Raha and is always very creative and adventurous with her. Their relationship is one for the ages, and the duo are very fond of each other and share a friendly relationship. Alia further added:
”Raha and Ranbir’s relationship is one for the ages. They’re more like friends! He invents some random games with Raha. He’s very adventurous and very creative when it comes to Raha. Watching them is so endearing.”
