Speaking with Femina, Alia opened up about her daughter Raha and the influences that have shaped her. When asked about the women who have helped her grow, Alia said, “I think, starting with my family… My mother – the strongest, most impactful influence growing up, watching her navigate through raising me and my sister, and still keeping the fire of wanting to be an actor alive in herself, whether she did it through theatre or through television.”

She continued, “Then my sister – the way she’s been so outspoken about her journey with mental health and depression. And, then, even the people that I deal with on my team, which is made up of a bunch of wonderful women. They all add so many different layers of support, opinion, perspective, and just energy to my life.”

She added, “I love when everything feels like a team effort. I think, if I were an athlete, I would definitely play a team sport! It’s something I think about sometimes. Even for my daughter. I wish for her to actually be an athlete… She’s so competitive and she’s so athletic. She’s only three, but she really jumps around like a bee in a bonnet. I find there is true pleasure in team effort.”

Alia, who dated Ranbir Kapoor for several years before marrying him in April 2022, met him on the sets of Brahmāstra, which was in production for seven years. Their daughter Raha was born in November 2022.
