Alia Bhatt says her father is possessive of her but the actress does not mind as he gives her enough space.
The 22-year-old star says there are times when her father gets irked reading about dating rumours but he does not force his opinions on her.
“I have a beautiful relationship with my father and it is only getting better with each passing year. But yes, dad is, not little, but very possessive about me though in a cute way. He is a whiner.
“But he is not intruding. He will never say, ‘don’t do this’, but he does get disturbed here and there. He once read something in the paper and called me saying, ‘Are you dating this guy?’ and I told him had I been dating, he would have known,” Bhatt said.
The Shaandaar star said that this is not the first time her father has dealt with having a daughter in the spotlight.
“This is not new for him at all, he has been in the industry from such a long time. Having Pooja [his older daughter] in his life much before I entered Bollywood has made him experienced at all this,” she said.
Despite being from a film dynasty, Bhatt does not discuss work at home.
“Right now, all conversations about work at home are banned. After working the whole day, that’s not something I like discussing with my family. I like to talk about other things.”
Shaandaar releases in the UAE on October 22.
