Just
what
are
Alia
Bhatt
and
Ranbir
Kapoor
like
as
parents?

Alia
gives
us
a
peek
into
their
lives
on
the
season
premiere
episode
of

The
Great
Indian
Kapil
Show
,
on
which
she
was
a
special
guest,
along
with
Karan
Johar,
to
promote
their
film,

Jigra
.

‘Raha
and
Ranbir’s
relationship
is
one
for
the
ages.
There’s
a
friendship
between
them.
He
invents
random
games
with
Raha,’
Alia
said.

‘He
will
be
like,
“Do
you
want
to
go
and
touch
the
clothes
in
the
cupboard?”
And
Raha
will
say
“Yes”.
Then
they
will
go
and
have
a
sensory
play
with
the
clothes
and
shirts.
He
will
tell
her,
“This
is
velvet,
this
is
suede,
this
is
cotton”.
And
he
will
make
that
into
a
very
serious
thing,’
Alia
explained
with
a
smile.

‘He
even
sings

Unni
Vava
Vo
.
It
is
a
lullaby.
Our
nurse
has
been
singing
it
to
Raha
since
day
one.
So
when
Raha
wants
to
sleep,
she
says,
“Mama

Vavo

or
“Papa

Vavo
“.
That
is
her
cue
to
go
to
sleep.
Now
Ranbir
has
learnt
how
to
sing
the
Malayalam
song
for
her,’
she
says.


Unni
Vava
Vo

is
a
song
from
the
1991
Malayalam
film,

Sandhwanam
.
