Earlier in June, Alia took the internet by surprise by announcing her pregnancy with husband Ranbir. Since then, the mom-to-be has been busy filming and prompting her latest movies, Darlings and then Brahmastra. Alia’s first film with Ranbir, Brahmastra, has undoubtedly taken centre-stage when it comes to online conversation with many discussing its VFX and plot on social media as the film continues to perform well at the box office. However, it now appears that Alia, who is reportedly in her third trimester, will finally be taking some time out from her busy schedule to celebrate with her loved ones before her baby’s arrival.

As per a report in Pinkvilla, soon-to-be nani and the dadi, Soni Razdan and Neetu Kapoor, respectively, are planning to host a baby shower for Alia. The star-studded event will reportedly see everyone from Alia’s sister Shaheen Bhatt and their girlfriends Akansha Ranjan and Anushka Ranjan to Kareena, Karisma Kapoor, Navya Nanda, and Shweta Bachchan in attendance.

Alia and Ranbir Kapoor married in Mumbai on April 14 this year. On June 27, Alia announced her pregnancy via an Instagram post featuring an ultrasound (half-concealed with a giant heart emoji) and the back of Ranbir’s head. She also shared a photo of a lioness with her partner as their cub looked up at them. In the caption, she wrote, “Our baby (is) coming soon…” Alia was filming alongside Gal Gadot and Jamie Dornan in Europe for her much-talked-about Hollywood debut, Heart of Stone, when she announced her pregnancy.
