While answering questions from the press, Alia Bhatt clarified that while she doesn't want to take legal action against those using Raha's pictures, they might consider it if people don't respect their decision.
The Jigra actor said, "We don’t want to push any sort of (legal) action, but we’ll be left with no choice if people don’t listen. Wait for Raha to cross or cover her face while clicking pictures.”
“My worst nightmare is someone breaking in and taking Raha away,” she also added.
Ranbir told the press that while they are not considering the legal route yet, he also emphasised that he ‘grew up in Mumbai, in the industry.’ He addressed everyone as ‘family.’
“We are requesting you for the betterment of my child. It might sound like a privileged problem. But as parents, we are trying to do as much as we can to protect our child. Anybody with a camera phone can post it, it’s not in our control. But we are just asking for help,” he said.
