6 Nov
Summary
- Fatherhood made Ranbir Kapoor question his mortality and lifespan.
- He quit smoking after 20 years, motivated by his daughter's birth.
- Raha's birth prompted new emotions and a feeling of rebirth for Ranbir.

The birth of his daughter, Raha, has significantly altered Ranbir Kapoor's outlook on life, health, and mortality. Previously unafraid of death and anticipating living until 71, Kapoor now views his lifespan as "too soon," reflecting a profound shift in perspective.
Kapoor described holding Raha for the first time as an overwhelmingly affectionate experience, feeling as though his heart was placed in his hands. This pivotal moment marked a rebirth, making him question detachment and indifference.
Motivated by fatherhood and a newfound awareness of his well-being, Kapoor also quit smoking. He had maintained the habit since age 17, but his daughter's arrival prompted him to prioritize his health and abandon the "nasty habit."
Meanwhile, Kapoor's latest film, 'Ramayana: Part 1,' directed by Nitesh Tiwari and co-starring Yash and Sai Pallavi, opened to positive reviews on November 5, 2026. The film recorded Rs 127.50 crore worldwide on its opening day.
