The baby girl has been named, Raha. The name has been selected by the grandmother, says Alia Bhatt in a social media post.
“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,” wrote Alia Bhatt in the Instagram post. “And true to her name, from the first moment we held her – we felt it ALL! Thank you Raha, for bringing our family to life, it feels as though our lives have only just begun,” she added further.
