'Ranbir Kapoor calls his daughter Raha 'daal chawal,' he even ran a race for her,' reveals his 'Ramayana' co-star
Ever since shutterbugs have captured Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt's daughter Raha Kapoor, the cute Starkid has always won hearts with her innocent gestures. Raha, who comes from not one but two iconic Bollywood families - Kapoor & Bhatt- has taken one step beyond her ever-increasing stardom as he became the richest starkid, beating Shah Rukh Khan's children Aryan Khan, Suhana Khan and AbRam Khan at just 1-year old.
Raha is set to be the owner of a Rs 250 crore bungalow in Mumbai's posh area Bandra, which will make her the youngest heiress of the real estate empire.

And now, the actor's Ramayana co-star Indira Krishnan has revealed how he calls his daughter his 'Daal Chaawal.' 'I've never seen a star of his stature treat people the way he does,' she said.
'He told me Raha is his dal chawal. The simplicity and love with which he talks about his daughter - it stayed with me,' Indira added.
'I asked him what happened, and he said, 'There was a race, Indira ji… I ran for Raha. And I came first.' He'd pulled a muscle but still showed up to work like nothing happened. That's Ranbir. A father before anything else.'
Recently, Alia warned paparazzi and media to stop clicking Raha's pictures and said, 'We don't want to push any sort of (legal) action, but we'll be left with no choice if people don't listen. Wait for Raha to cross or cover her face while clicking pictures.' 'My worst nightmare is someone breaking in and taking Raha away,' she added.
'We are requesting you for the betterment of my child. It might sound like a privileged problem. But as parents, we are trying to do as much as we can to protect our child. Anybody with a camera phone can post it, it's not in our control. But we are just asking for help,' Ranbir said.
