BAFTA Awards 2026: Alia Bhatt opens up about daughter Raha being her "true inspiration"; says she "dances to my songs"

London [UK], February 23 (ANI): Alia Bhatt made a stunning appearance on Sunday at the British Academy Film Awards in London.
Representing India on a global stage, the Raazi actress turned heads as she walked the red carpet at the 79th BAFTAs at the Royal Festival Hall and shared a heartfelt note about what keeps her inspired today.
Speaking to the media on the red carpet, Alia revealed that her biggest "inspiration" right now comes from her little daughter, Raha. Talking about motherhood and the joy it brings, Alia said that watching her daughter grow fills her life with meaning.
"Being in front of the camera is a blessing to me. I feel so grateful. I love my job so deeply. But I have to say that my true source of inspiration and magic right now is my daughter. Looking at her, she just blooms. She's three now and dances to my songs. Sometimes, I'm like, 'Ok, that is life,'" she told the reporter at the event.
For the grand evening, Alia opted for a custom Gucci outfit. She chose a silver sequined gown with a high neckline and a clean, fitted look. Alia paired the outfit with a soft white fur stole, adding a classic touch to her ensemble. With light makeup, soft curls, and simple earrings, she kept her style graceful and elegant.
