After the announcement of Alia Bhatt giving birth to a baby girl a few days ago, a photo of the actress with a newborn is going viral on Facebook and YouTube. While neither of the parents shared the pictures with the newborn, the viral image is shared with the caption "Congratulations Alia Bhatt, blessed with a baby girl"
One video even claims that Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor had twins.

Fact check:
The claim is FALSE. The image is morphed and does not show Alia Bhatt with the newborn.
When we searched the social media handles of Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor, we did not find any of them sharing a picture of the baby.
Here is the announcement by Alia Bhatt on Instagram.
When we searched the image using Google reverse image search, we found the original image shows the birth of twin boys Rio and Sol published on the website inspiralized.com.
Inspiralized is a blog by Ali Maffucci sharing inspiring, simple, and veggie-forward recipes, with real motherhood moments. In this article, she describes the journey of giving birth to twin sons and managing with work thereafter.
The image of Ali Maffucci holding her sons has been morphed and shared as that of Alia Bhatt.
Several websites refuted the claim and clarified that the image has been morphed.
Indiatvnews.com stated that Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor's baby has already become the talk of the town. Ever since the duo announced the arrival of their baby girl, the internet is abuzz with photos and videos of the actors with the kid. Many claim them to be photos of Alia and Ranbir's baby.
In the morphed photos, Alia is seen resting on the bed with a child next to her. Many have also shared old pics of them holding a baby in their arms. A video claims that it has Alia with the baby in the hospital.
However, all these pictures are fake. The actors haven't shared any photos or videos of their daughter yet, the website said.
Hence, the image of Alia Bhatt with a newborn is morphed, and the claim is FALSE.
