Ranbir Kapoor finds THIS quality of Alia's ‘astounding', reveals Mahesh Bhatt; shares how she has changed after Raha
During his appearance on The Himanshu Mehta Show, filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt revealed how his daughter Alia Bhatt has changed after becoming a mother to Raha, his darling granddaughter. Mahesh shared, 'I see a new depth in her. With this young girl becoming a mother, there's a coming-of-age of a different kind, a different kind of maturity in her. I'm also looking forward to her new films which would be coming out now.'
Much to the delight of #Ralia fans, Mahesh also shared how Ranbir views Alia. The filmmaker revealed, 'He says, 'Alia is made of different stuff.' When I ask him, 'What do you mean?,' he says, 'Her ambition to do more and more and more is unbelievably astounding!' While he's a person who's very laid-back and comforted, and he just wants to do enough. She's a go-getter.' How sweet is that? Truly the perfect combination.
Apart from her cameo in War 2 and her next film Alpha, Alia has another exciting film in her line-up. She will soon reunite onscreen with her husband Ranbir and her Raazi co-star Vicky Kaushal for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's much-awaited Love & War. The film is currently being shot.

Alia Bhatt's Jigra director Vasan Balan says, 'I thought I'd never go back', opens up on 'still living in rented house' after box office failure
Alia Bhatt is currently shooting for her upcoming ventures- Alpha and Love And War. She was last seen in Jigra in November 2024. The female-led jail break action movie revolving around two siblings didn't sit well with the masses and ended up being a box office failure. And now, Vasan Bala, who helmed the movie, broke his silence on Jigra's bad box office performance and how it affected him. In a latest conversation with Cyrus Broacha, Vasan Bala talked about how Jigra's theatrical returns affected his lifestyle. The filmmaker mentioned that he is still in the recovering phase and underlined that his economic condition doesn't change a bit as he is still living on rent in Mumbai. Vasan said, 'The Jigra box office was a sucker punch. It really knocks you out, and I'm still waking up. But (new) scripts are also happening in the recovery process.' The filmmaker went on to add that he is content working with Alia Bhatt on Jigra and called her an 'incredible' actress. 'I am happy with the film, absolutely. I had a great time working with the crew, and I had a great time working with Alia. She's an incredible actress, she has an incredible work ethic and vision. She spoils you,' added Vasan Bala. Vasan Bala reveals living in rented house and going back to Mani Ratnam's film sets as Jigra failed The Monica O My Darling director expressed that the successful people are those who shoot for 200 days and are indecisive. When asked if he could do that now, Vasan responded, 'No, I can't after Jigra's box office. I can't. I thought I could, I was gearing up for that.' Vasan revealed that he thought that after Jigra he will live a luxe-life but he's still living in a rented house. 'You appreciate success more this way—when you don't have it. But not as much when you're trying to buy houses. The extra money doesn't hurt. I still live in a rented house. After Jigra, I went back to a Mani Ratnam set, though. I went for two days, just to be around a film set, because I thought I'd never go back,' the filmmaker said. He concluded by highlighting, 'Sometimes, ADs can buy a house, but the director can't. It's a legit profession. After Jigra, I went back to a Mani Ratnam set, though. I went for two days, just to be around a film set, because I thought I'd never go back.'
