Alia Bhatt, who gave birth to a baby girl on November 6, in an Instagram post on Wednesday announced that they are calling their newborn daughter Raha.

"The name Raha (chosen by her wise and wonderful Dadi) has so many beautiful meanings..." she said in the post.

"Raha, in its purest form means divine path in Swahili she is Joy. In Sanskrit, Raha is a clan. In Bangla - rest, comfort, relief. In Arabic peace, it also means happiness, freedom & bliss. And true to her name, from the first moment we held her - we felt it ALL! Thank you Raha, for bringing our family to life, it feels as though our lives have only just begun," the actor wrote.
