Alia Bhatt Reacts To Mother Soni Razdan Saying She Is 'Connected' To Atrocities In Palestine
Soni Razdan said her grandfather would be heartbroken if he witnessed the tragedies in Palestine.
Alia Bhatt's mother and veteran actress Soni Razdan, has said that she feels connected to the atrocities taking place in Palestine, given her family's history. Alia Bhatt has reacted to her mother's post in a show of support. Soni Razdan mentioned that it is ironic that the people for whom her grandfather risked his life under Hitler's regime are now subjecting another race to atrocities.
Alia Bhatt 'liked' her mother Soni Razdan's latest post about Palestine. In her post, Soni Razdan wrote that her grandfather ran an underground newspaper against Hitler in Germany. 'They distributed it as widely as they could and, of course, the inevitable happened… One day, he was found out. They arrested him. He was thrown into prison and later into a concentration camp, where he suffered greatly and saw terrible things," Soni wrote.

The actress mentioned that since her grandfather was German and had access to good lawyers, he was released from captivity on the condition that he would never step foot in Germany again. She also added, '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."
Soni noted that there are many Jews who are against what is happening in Palestine, just as there were many Germans who were against Hitler, but 'very few had the courage that my grandfather had". Soni wrote that she feels 'particularly connected" to the atrocities in Palestine due to her family history. Soni wrote that while she doesn't have half the courage her grandfather did, she thought it was important to speak up for Palestine, as remaining silent 'is a crime'.

Prince Harry Hit This Royal Family Member During An Argument In 2013, Gave Him A Bloody Nose
A new book by Andrew Lownie claimed that Prince Andrew and Harry had a heated argument in 2013 at a family gathering over something "Andrew said behind Harry's back." A new book has revealed that Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, had a heated argument with Prince Harry at a family gathering in 2013 in which 'punches were thrown". The book, called Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, claimed that the two princes got into a physical fight years ago over 'something Andrew said behind Harry's back". The book's author, Andrew Lownie, shed light on the 'problematic" relationship between the Duke of York and his nephews, William and Harry. Excerpts quoted by The Telegraph claimed that Harry 'got the better of Andrew by all accounts" during the alleged fight and left his uncle with a 'bloody nose" before the fight was broken up. Prince Andrew, King Charles' younger brother, who fell from grace over his links to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, is believed to have told Harry that his marriage to Meghan Markle would not 'last more than a month". Furthermore, he allegedly accused his nephew of going 'bonkers" and not doing 'any due diligence into her past" before the pair married in 2018. The source quoted in Lownie's book claimed that Harry later told his brother William that 'he hated Andrew". 'William has long worked behind the scenes to evict his uncle from Royal Lodge, the home he occupies in Windsor Great Park. He thinks Andrew is abusing the property and his privilege there," Lownie wrote. Andrew has been facing the threat of eviction from the 30-room property after the King severed his allowance, estimated to be worth £1m annually, last year, according to The Telegraph. A source in Lownie's book claimed that the Prince of Wales is keen to 'evict" Andrew and his wife from the lavish estate. These revelations came after Harry revealed in his memoir, Spare, that he got into a physical fight with his elder brother over his relationship with Meghan Markle. He claimed that Prince William shoved him to the floor in a physical altercation at Kensington Palace in 2019, when he confronted him over Markle's 'rude" and 'abrasive" behaviour. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
