Alia and Ranbir may be seen holding their infant while facing away from the camera in the hazy picture. The name Raha is visible on a little jersey that is in focus. Sharing the photo, Alia wrote, “The name Raha (chosen by her wise and wonderful Dadi) has so many beautiful meanings… Raha, in its purest form means divine path in Swahili she is Joy, In Sanskrit, Raha is a clan, In Bangla – rest, comfort, relief, in Arabic peace, it also means happiness, freedom & bliss. And true to her name, from the first moment we held her – we felt it ALL! ❤️”

She further added, “Thank you Raha, for bringing our family to life, it feels as though our lives have only just begun. ☀️☀️☀️”
