For the unversed, Mahesh Bhatt became a parent in 1972 when Pooja Bhatt was born from his first marriage to Lorraine Bright, also known as Kiran Bhatt. Mahesh and Kiran's relationship began during their school years, leading to their marriage when Kiran was 20 and Mahesh was 21. Their daughter Pooja arrived soon after. However, their marriage faced challenges when Mahesh Bhatt entered into a relationship with Parveen Babi, leading to their separation. After a few years, Mahesh Bhatt found love again with Soni Razdan, and they tied the knot. The couple welcomed their elder daughter, Shaheen Bhatt, and later Alia Bhatt in 1993.

On the professional front, Alia Bhatt was recently seen in Karan Johar's Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani alongside Ranveer Singh, Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan and Shabana Azmi. The film released in theatres on July 28, 2023, and received rave reviews from critics. She was also seen in her Hollywood debut Heart of Stones. In her pipeline, she has director Farhan Akhtar's Jee Le Zaraa with Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra.
