Earlier
today
(June
27),
Alia
Bhatt
dropped
a
pleasant
surprise
for
fans
by
revealing
that
she
is
expecting
her
first
baby
with
her
husband
and
actor
Ranbir
Kapoor.
The
Gangubai
Kathiawadi
actress
posted
a
picture
of
her
undergoing
sonography
in
the
hospital
with
Ranbir
sitting
next
to
her.
She
captioned
the
picture
as,
"Our
baby
..
coming
soon."
Alia's
father
and
filmmaker
Mahesh
Bhatt
reacted
to
this
happy
news
while
speaking
with
Hindustan
Times.
He
said
that
life
is
asking
him
to
play
the
most
challenging
role,
that
of
a
grandfather.
"It
is
a
magical
moment
for
the
whole
family.
First
of
all,
Alia
has
been
a
magical
child
since
the
beginning.
She
has
amazed
me
with
her
extraordinary
talent,
which
has
displayed
to
herself
and
the
world,
and
then
the
marriage
with
Ranbir,
was
a
great,
high
moment,
and
I
love
the
boy.
He
is
an
amazing
kid," the
tabloid
quoted
him
as
saying.
He
said
that
ever
since
the
news
of
his
daughter's
pregnancy
surfaced,
he
has
been
receiving
messages
saying
that
he
will
be
the
coolest
granddaddy
on
the
planet.

*Bollywood
Speaking
about
Alia
and
Ranbir
entering
the
new
phase
of
their
film,
the
filmmaker
continued,
"There's
another
universe
which
is
going
to
descend
in
our
backyard
and
in
our
life.
It
is
quite
astounding
news.
I
am
happy
for
Alia
and
Ranbir,
and
the
entire
clan."
He
added
that
the
child
which
will
be
born
will
have
the
genetics
of
his
extraordinary
parents.
Mahesh
told
the
news
portal
that
nothing
can
prepare
Ranbir
and
Alia
for
the
magical
ride
to
parenthood
and
that
they
will
have
to
grope,
fumble
and
stumble
and
find
their
own
ways
to
deal
with
the
child.
This
is
real
life,
not
reel
life.
When
real
life
steps
into
your
organised
life,
it
brings
it
magic,
wilderness
and
its
challenges.
A
new
story
is
going
to
emerge
with
the
arrival
of
this
child,"
the
director
was
quoted
as
saying.
On
being
asked
if
he
has
any
words
of
wisdom
to
give
to
the
would-be
parents
as
a
father,
he
replied,
"I
have
never
been
a
person
who
has
given
advice
to
any
of
my
children.
The
child
(Alia
and
Ranbir's
child)
will
bring
several
lessons
to
teach
the
parents.
They
will
have
to
learn,
like
any
other
normal
parent
as
they
experience
the
new
phase.
You
can't
prepare
your
children
for
an
extraordinary
magical
moment
like
this".
"The
child,
who
will
be
born...
There
has
never
been
a
child
like
the
one
which
is
coming
soon,
and
never
will
there
be
a
child.
Every
child
that
is
born
is
unique
and
unrepeatable.
That's
why
I
say
that
it's
going
to
be
a
universe
in
itself,"
Bhatt
said
while
signing
off.
After
being
in
a
steady
relationship
for
several
years,
Ranbir
Kapoor
and
Alia
Bhatt
tied
the
knot
in
April
this
year
at
the
former's
residence
in
Bandra.
Their
wedding
was
a
low-key
affair
which
was
attended
only
by
their
respective
families
and
close
friends.
Workwise,
the
couple
will
be
seen
sharing
screen
space
in
Ayan
Mukerji's
Brahmastra.
