Alia Bhatt shared her thoughts on Raha’s screen time
Alia and Ranbir’s daughter Raha is one and a half years old and yet her dear mother is scared of excessive screen time. Alia knows how today’s kids are overdoing it by watching movies on tablets and playing games on laptops but she wants to keep her daughter away from it as much as possible. In an interview with her mother Soni Razdan for Nod magazine, Alia shared her thoughts on the same and said that she wants to reduce Raha’s screen time. Alia said:
“Like most parents, I worry about the times we live in. I know I’d love to introduce her to the screen later, but if I do, it’ll be to introduce her to good movies. I want her to fall in love with them. Because that imagination is something very special.”
Alia added that she never read much as a child but she remembers watching The Lion King which helped her creatively. She added that she wants her child to play outside as it is important. Alia added that she will try to give her as much as possible. She said:
“I was never a big reader, but I remember watching ‘The Lion King’ getting my creativity going. And of course, there’s nothing better for a child than growing up outside, so I try to give her as much of that as possible.”
