Shaheen Bhatt on how Alia Bhatt deals with difficult times
During the chat, we asked Shaheen how Alia deals with tough times and does she helps her little sister. To which she insisted, “I honestly think she doesn’t need help in that sense because we’re all very well aware of the fact that we’re very lucky and privileged. I think if you’re in the public eye, it comes with a certain understanding that the people are going to talk about you. There are things that are going to be said about you and past a certain point that’s okay since its part of the job. I think it’s just about being really grateful that we have each other. We definitely have conversations about what we’re feeling but that outside noise doesn’t really factor.”
On seeing Alia as bride and sobbing
Alia Bhatt got married to Ranbir Kapoor on 14th Aril 2022. The two are now parents to baby girl Raha. Talking about how she was continuously crying Alia as bride, Shaheen recalled, “I don’t know because I couldn’t see as I just had tears in my eyes. It was for me really overwhelming and emotional moment. But I actually have no idea how anybody else was dealing with it because I was so overall by myself.”
