Alia's journey as an entrepreneur commenced in 2020 with the inception of Ed-a-Mamma, offering a range of children's, teens', and maternity wear. The brand garnered significant attention, leading to its acquisition by Reliance Brands for a reported ₹300-350 crore. In addition to her entrepreneurial pursuits, Alia is also a film producer under her banner, Eternal Sunshine Productions, which debuted with the Netflix original "Darlings." Her upcoming projects in the film industry include "Jigra," an escape drama co-produced with Karan Johar's Dharma Productions, and roles in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "Love & War" and an untitled film within the YRF Spy Universe.

On the personal front, Alia's life took a significant turn in 2022 when she tied the knot with fellow actor Ranbir Kapoor. The couple welcomed their daughter, Raha Kapoor, later that year. Keeping their private life guarded, they revealed their daughter's face for the first time during Christmas season.

Alia Bhatt's foray into children's literature not only showcases her multifaceted talents but also reflects her commitment to engaging with younger audiences in meaningful ways. Through "Ed Finds A Home" and subsequent entries in the series, she aims to inspire a new generation to appreciate and cherish the wonders of the natural world.
