"Dear Little Me---" Alia Bhatt's Emotional Letter to Her Younger Self Goes Viral!
Alia Bhatt has the internet reaching for tissues today. In a deeply personal video released yesterday (Sunday, Feb 1) for Esquire India, the actress read out a heartwarming letter addressed to her younger self. The video, which has already gone viral, offers a rare, unfiltered glimpse into her private life, with emotional advice about heartbreak, her "secret crush" Ranbir Kapoor, and her daughter Raha.

Here are the most touching highlights from the letter.

On Ranbir Kapoor: "The Best Boy in the World" ❤️


Alia addressed her teenage heartbreaks with a promise that true love is worth the wait.

The Advice: She tells her younger self: "Please don't cry over that stupid boy in high school, it's not worth it."

The Promise: She reveals that she will eventually meet the "best boy in the world"—the one she always secretly crushed on.

The Description: She describes Ranbir not just as a husband, but as her "safest place" and "best friend," adding that he will love her with "respect, comfort, peace, and laughter."

On Raha: "A Little Lawyer" 👩‍⚖️


In one of the cutest moments of the video, Alia gives her younger self a heads-up about motherhood.

The Prediction: She tells her younger self: "You’re going to have the most beautiful daughter in the world... She’s also going to be a little lawyer, so prep up!"

The Meaning: Fans are loving this detail, interpreting it as Raha being a sharp, talkative, and opinionated toddler who keeps her parents on their toes.



On Her Parents: "Praise Mama's Cooking" 🥘


Alia also shared regret and advice regarding her parents, Mahesh Bhatt and Soni Razdan.

To Mom: She urges her younger self to appreciate her mother more: "Please praise Mama's cooking some more... One day you will realize how much love went into everything she made."

To Dad: She touches upon her bond with her father, seemingly referencing their work together on Sadak 2: "Spend time with Papa. One day he will offer you a film... do it not for the result, but because those memories will be the best of your life."

On Shaheen: "Your Future Best Friend" 👯‍♀️


She ends with a note on her sister Shaheen Bhatt (with whom she is now producing films like Don't Be Shy):

"Be nice to your sister. One day she is going to be your best friend. Don't take her for granted."

SantaBanta Verdict: From a "dreamer" little girl to a powerhouse producer and mother, this letter perfectly captures Alia's journey. Calling Raha a "little lawyer" might just be the cutest description of the year!
