In recent years, several Bollywood celebrity couples have adopted a strict ‘no photo policy’ to protect the privacy of their newborns. These stars, while accustomed to life in the limelight, prioritize their families’ well-being and choose to shield their children from constant media attention. Here’s a look at some of Bollywood’s biggest names who have implemented this approach.

Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor welcomed their baby, Raha, in November 2022. The couple, much like their peers, has requested that the paparazzi refrain from taking pictures of their child. To further protect Raha’s privacy, they suggested the use of an emoji to obscure her face in case of accidental photographs. Despite their efforts to maintain privacy, the couple did introduce Raha to the media during an intimate Kapoor family dinner before Christmas 2023.

Sonam Kapoor Ahuja and Anand Ahuja became parents to their son, Vayu, in August 2022. While the couple did share a few family portraits online, they initially chose not to reveal Vayu’s face. In a touching moment captured on video, Sonam was seen at the airport politely requesting photographers to honor their no-photo policy and avoid taking pictures of their four-month-old son.
This growing trend among Bollywood celebrities reflects their desire to balance fame with family life, ensuring that their children have a chance to grow up away from the intense scrutiny that often accompanies stardom.
