Why she doesn't want to reveal daughter's face
Bhasker told HT, "Why should I reveal my child's face or my child in general...for the cruelty of strangers to be satiated? I'm not ready for that at the moment." "With the advent of paparazzi culture...the combination of phone cameras and social media, voyeurism has become the norm in our society. Notably, Alia Bhatt and Anushka Sharma have also not revealed their babies' faces.

Shared her views on trolling celebrities, their families
Underlining the ruthless trolling that celebrities and sometimes even their families go through, Bhasker added, "The sponsored negative social media campaigns and targeted trolling and cyberbullying that goes in is something that I don't want my child to go through." "Hence, as a new parent, I completely understand not wanting to expose my child to [this kind] of negativity and unkindness," she added.

How has motherhood shaped her
Reflecting upon how motherhood has changed her, Bhasker told HT, "Motherhood makes you realize that every cliche in the world is true." "I am obsessively taking videos and photos. My phone is full of Raabiya's photos." "I am also making a scrapbook...so that when she grows up, she can cherish all these little moments that we have tried to preserve," the actor said.
