Alia Bhatt shares Raha's handmade birthday card for Ranbir; fans wonder who wrote it [reactions]

Bollywood heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor turned 43 years old on September 28. On the special occasion, millions of his fans flooded social media with birthday wishes. His mother, Neetu Singh; sister, Riddhima Sahni; and many Bollywood celebs wished the actor.

Amid tons of wishes, it was his wife Alia's and daughter Raha's wish that was indeed special and made him gush. Ranbir, who mostly keeps to himself and isn't on social media, came live from his brand Arks page at 5 pm on Sunday, September 28, 2025, and interacted with his fans.

During the live session, he spoke about how he spent his birthday and shared that his daughter Raha made a handwritten card for him. He also revealed that he went on a trip with Alia, Raha, and Neetu, and returned to Mumbai to celebrate his birthday with fans and media.

Right after his live session ended, Alia Bhatt penned a sweet wish for Ranbir Kapoor and gave a glimpse of RK's birthday bash. She also shared Raha's gift for Ranbir, which was a beautiful handmade card.

The card read: "Happy birthday, best papa in the world."

Alia captioned the Instagram carousel as, "happy birthday our whole and soul ♥️✨." The Instagram carousel shows Raha's tiny hands as she picks up a chocolate pastry.

The cute card shows well-written handwriting that confused netizens; many argued as to how Raha, who is merely two and a half years old, could have such perfect handwriting. Many even claimed that it must have been Alia who wrote on Raha's behalf, just like Anushka often writes on behalf of her son, Akaay.
