About Alia’s venture

Alia turned entrepreneur in 2020 with Ed-a-Mamma, which sells children’s wear, teens’ wear, and maternity wear. Last year, it was acquired by Reliance Brands, a subsidiary of billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Retail, for a reported whopping amount of ₹300-350 crore, as per a report by The Economic Times. Alia owns a production house, Eternal Sunshine Productions, which backed her streaming debut, Jasmeet K Reen’s 2022 dark comedy Darlings, released on Netflix India. She’s also co-producing Vasan Bala’s upcoming theatrical escape drama Jigra with Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions.

Besides Jigra, Alia will also be seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War and an untitled YRF Spy Universe film. Alia married fellow actor Ranbir Kapoor in 2022 and gave birth to daughter Raha Kapoor later that year. They unveiled Raha’s face for the first time on Christmas last year.
