Alia Bhatt's mother Soni Razdan reveals her grandfather revolted against Hitler, says 'When I see what is happening in Palestine today...'
Alia Bhatt's mother Soni Razdan has shared a long note on her grandfather, how he was arrested during the time when Hitler ruled and unleashed his atrocities on the Jews. And she also expressed a deep sense of sorrow for what's happening in Palestine currently.
Razdan wrote- 'A recent reel featuring the Jewish Australian actress Miriam Margoyles has actually pushed me to write this post and at this point. She chillingly states that Hitler won. Because he made the Jews like him. That is the saddest thing I have read in a long time. Whether you agree or disagree…. It is a terrifying indictment.'
STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD
She added, 'This is also actually a continuation of an earlier post about my mother and grandmother. Of course, my grandfather is everywhere in it. They don't make many like him anymore. But let us not despair, because there are those that speak out, and those that put their lives on the line to report.'
On her grandfather
My grandfather had the courage to stand up against a tyrant all those years ago. Therefore, when I see what is happening in Palestine today, I am so glad he is no longer alive. It would have broken him. The very people he fought so hard to save have turned into those that oppressed them.
She also captioned the post saying, 'Many died, but many were saved. I am proud that my grandfather was on the right side of history. I do hope that the rest of the world will follow sooner rather than later.'

Rocky Rani Kii Prem Kahaani Turns 2: Ranveer Singh Celebrates 'Rocky The Pookie' With Special Post
Ranveer Singh marks 2 years of Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani with a sweet reel, calling his beloved character Rocky Randhawa 'Pookie' in a heartfelt tribute. Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh's Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani turned 2 today, on July 28. In the film, Ranveer Singh played the role of Rocky Randhawa, the flamboyant Delhi boy, and his character was praised by many. Today, on this special day, the actor dropped a sweet reel celebrating Rocky Randhawa. While sharing the post, Ranveer called him 'Pookie" and wrote, 'Celebrating two years of Rocky the Pookie." Ranveer Singh delivered a masterclass in emotional range, swinging between flamboyant hilarity and gut-wrenching vulnerability without ever losing authenticity. His Rocky wasn't the buffoon he first appeared to be. Beneath the designer sunglasses and brash swagger beat the heart of a deeply empathetic, open-minded, and fiercely loving man. Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani – Plot Released on July 28, 2023, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani starred Ranveer Singh as a flamboyant yet soft-hearted Punjabi man, Rocky Randhawa, who fell in love with an articulate and headstrong Bengali journalist, Rani Chatterjee, played by Alia Bhatt. The film's unique plot—where the couple decided to live with each other's families before marriage to understand their customs and cultures—struck a chord with audiences by blending comedy, romance, and societal norms. The film's approach to exploring class, culture, and values made it both entertaining and thought-provoking. Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh's Upcoming Projects On the work front, Alia Bhatt was last seen in Jigra, released in 2024. Backed by Dharma Productions, Viacom18 Studios, and Bhatt's Eternal Sunshine Productions, Jigra featured Alia Bhatt as a troubled woman who attempts to rescue her brother (played by Vedang Raina) from an East Asian prison. Up next, the actress will join the YRF Spy Universe in a female-led installment titled Alpha and is set to collaborate with Sanjay Leela Bhansali in the romantic drama Love & War, co-starring Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal. On the other hand, Ranveer Singh was last seen in Rohit Shetty's Singham Again in 2024 and will next lead Aditya Dhar's action thriller Dhurandhar. He is also set to take over the role of Don from Shah Rukh Khan in Farhan Akhtar's Don 3 also starring Kriti Sanon. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
