“When Raha was born, I saw Ranbir weep like a child seeing his daughter for the first time,” said Bhatt during an event for Ranbir’s upcoming film ‘Animal.’ “What stood out was just how he loves his daughter unconditionally.”

Bhatt went on to call Ranbir “not only a great actor but the best father in the world.” His words brought Ranbir to tears, who said, “I’ve gotten my father-in-law’s approval.”

Ranbir and his wife Alia Bhatt welcomed Raha in November 2022. Since then, Ranbir has been spotted on several occasions doting on his baby girl. Both sets of grandparents, including Ranbir’s mother Neetu Kapoor, have also heaped praise on Ranbir’s parenting skills.

The high praise from Bhatt holds special meaning for Ranbir, who has long seen the filmmaker as a father figure. “He’s never openly said he’s fond of me,” said an emotional Ranbir.

Ranbir’s upcoming drama ‘Animal‘ depicts the dark shades of the human psyche. It marks his first collaboration with director Sandeep Reddy Vanga.
