Alia Bhatt moves out with sister
Actress says her parents are like her friends, and that their relationship has evolved
Actress Alia Bhatt has shifted to a new house with her sister, and says her relationship with her family members — especially parents — has only evolved over the years.
“I am not living all alone. I am living with my sister. I feel my relationship with my family has evolved. Every relationship evolves with time. We are going through a phase where we are like friends,” said Bhatt.
“We are busy living our own lives, but we find a great amount of comfort with each other. Earlier, we were not interacting in that way. Now it has kind of changed, it’s become different,” she added.
Daughter of filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and actress-director Soni Razdan, Bhatt has managed to carve her own niche in Bollywood.
After proving her versatility with films such as Highway, 2 States and Udta Punjab, she is now looking forward to the release of Dear Zindagi, which sees her sharing the frame with superstar Shah Rukh Khan.
The film is directed by Gauri Shinde. “Gauri is a strong woman and very focused. She knows exactly what she wants. I don’t see any difference between a man director and a woman director. She is a very unique director. She talks about simple things in a simple way and they have such a profound effect on you,” the 23-year-old said.
Dear Zindagi sees Bhatt playing the protagonist — an aspiring filmmaker, who is on the lookout for a lot of unanswered questions. The film also features Ali Zafar, Aditya Roy Kapur, Kunal Kapoor and Angad Bedi.
The film marks Shinde’s second directorial outing — her first film was English Vinglish.
