On the bustling sets of Nitesh Tiwari’s magnum opus Ramayana, the staggering visual scale is matched only by moments of intimate family warmth. While millions of ardent cinephiles eagerly countdown to witnessing Ranbir Kapoor step into the revered shoes of Lord Ram on November 5, the actor has let slip an adorable behind-the-scenes secret. His darling daughter, Raha Kapoor, didn’t just drop by to visit her superstar father; she actually faced the movie camera alongside the lead cast.
In a delightful chat with the BBC during the film’s massive international promotional tour, Ranbir spoke glowingly about his little girl’s growing fascination with ancient epics. It turns out, daily bedtime at the Kapoor-Bhatt household is already deeply steeped in sacred folklore and rich traditional storytelling.
Opening up about her surprising on-set cameo, Ranbir revealed candidly, “Raha herself is so interested in the story of the Ramayana. Me and Alia (Bhatt), we always tell her stories. She has visited the sets many times. She has given a shot with Sai and Lakshman (Ravie Dubey) also. So, she’s really been a part of this journey. I am so happy that this would be the first story that she will watch on screen because I would like her to watch it.”
The revelation instantly sent Bollywood fans into a collective meltdown of adoration. Seeing little Raha share frames with Sai Pallavi’s Sita and Ravie Dubey’s Lakshman makes this mythological milestone an extraordinary personal heirloom for the Kapoor clan. For Ranbir, introducing his daughter to the magic of cinema through a civilisational tale grounded in righteousness, duty, and selfless love feels like the ultimate full-circle fatherhood moment.
Between breaking advance booking records worldwide and celebrating Raha’s fourth birthday just a day after the film’s theatrical debut, this festive season is pure cinematic magic for Ranbir. While whether her shot makes the final theatrical cut remains closely guarded today, Raha’s presence on the sets has already left an indelible, heartwarming mark on the grand production.
