Bollywood star Alia Bhatt has kicked off 2026 by sharing a precious and rare family moment with her fans. The actress took to Instagram to post a heartfelt silhouette photograph from her New Year's holiday with husband Ranbir Kapoor and their young daughter, Raha Kapoor.
A Silhouette of Family Bliss
The intimate image, shared on the first day of the new year, captures a beautiful beach sunset. In the photo, Ranbir Kapoor is seen lifting Raha high into the air, while Alia looks on. The family appeared to be coordinating in stylish white linen outfits for the occasion. Alia captioned the tender moment, "& up you go love.. happy 2026."
This post is particularly special as Alia and Ranbir are famously private about their daughter's life, rarely sharing pictures of Raha on social media. This New Year's glimpse follows a similar pattern from last year's celebrations and a recent Christmas photo where Raha playfully photobombed a picture of Alia with her sister, Shaheen Bhatt.
Professional Schedules and Project Delays
The serene family vacation comes amidst a busy professional phase for the power couple. Both actors are preparing for a hectic year ahead, which includes their highly anticipated on-screen reunion. They are set to star together in acclaimed director Sanjay Leela Bhansali's upcoming magnum opus, 'Love and War', which also features Vicky Kaushal.
However, fans might have to wait a bit longer for the film. Originally scheduled for a release in the first quarter of 2026, 'Love and War' has reportedly been postponed due to production delays. Industry reports indicate that scheduling adjustments across Bhansali's projects have impacted the actors' calendars and the film's promotional timeline.
What's Next for the Kapoors?
While 'Love and War' navigates its new timeline, both stars have other major projects in the pipeline. Ranbir Kapoor is awaiting the release of the grand mythological epic 'Ramayana'. On the other hand, Alia Bhatt's next solo venture, the spy thriller 'Alpha', is yet to announce a new release date after being shifted from its original schedule.
The couple, known for taking exotic international breaks between their demanding shooting schedules, seems to have ushered in 2026 with a perfect blend of family time and professional preparedness, giving fans a cherished peek into their personal world while gearing up for a blockbuster year in cinema.
