Alia Bhatt is admired for her inspiring journey, acting skills, and successful career. The actress is the third daughter of filmmaker, Mahesh Bhatt. The filmmaker has a daughter, Pooja Bhatt, and a son, Rahul, with his first wife, Kiran Bhatt. At the same time, he has two daughters, including Alia, with his second wife and actress, Soni Razdan. Despite these complex relationships, Alia has always shared a cordial bond with her step-sister, Pooja Bhatt. In a new interview, she revealed how she discovered a new side to the latter in 2023.
Recently, Alia sat down for an interview with Allure and shared some interesting anecdotes from her life. During the conversation, she was asked to share about her guilty pleasures. In her reply, Alia shared her relatable guilty pleasures like watching reels, a particular milk cake, and binge-watching. She further revealed that she used to watch Bigg Boss OTT 2 in 2023 because her sister was a contestant on the show.
Alia added that she watched the show obsessively whenever she got time to see her Pooja Bhatt. She explained that in the show one can tune in at the live footage via an app and she used to do the same in between shoots. In her words:
"In the last season of Bigg Boss OTT, my sister was in it, so I was binge watching that. You can clock in to the live camera and see the house live; I would watch it in the middle of shoot and work. But it was really nice because I found a whole new dynamic in my sister."
Alia Bhatt occasionally talks about her personal bonds or family members on public platforms. During a previous conversation with Anupam Kher, she opened up about the dynamics of her relationship with Pooja Bhatt and the rest of her family. Alia shared that there is no fakeness in her bond with the latter, as people often speculate. Rather, they have come closer during the last few years. In her words:
"Actually, recently, it's become much better. We have gotten close as a family. People would always say that you have a step-sister, stepmother, and all that, but it never bothered me because our family is so real and honest with each other. There is no façade or fakeness. So when we spend time with each other, we genuinely like to spend time with each other."
On the work front, Alia Bhatt was last seen in the American film, Heart of Stone. She is busy promoting her next film, Jigra, co-starring Vedang Raina. The actress also has an action film, Alpha, in her kitty with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love and War.
