In a recent interview with Suresh Productions, Alia said, “Tarak, Ram Charan, and I, we couldn’t spend a lot of time together on the sets of RRR due to different schedules, but around promotions, we became very close.”

She said, “This is a very funny story. A month after Raha was born, I had stepped down to walk for a bit. Suddenly, I had someone coming and telling me, ‘Ma’am, Ram Charan sir has sent an elephant.’ I was stunned. I was like, ‘Anything can happen: I might have a giant elephant walking in my building right now.’”

She added, “It wasn’t a real elephant. It was a wooden elephant he sent after he adopted an elephant in the wild in Raha’s name. It was such a sweet gesture by him. We call that elephant: Ele, and have kept it near our dining table on the fifth floor. Raha often hops on to it and plays.”

Ram Charan has often praised Alia and liked her acting abilities. Ram Charan previously told Mid Day, “I have been an admirer of her work since Highway. After Raazi, I became her fan. After working with her, I understood why people love her so much. There were times when I didn’t get my Telugu lines properly, but she got them bang-on. She was a thorough professional.”

On the work front, Alia Bhatt is currently starring in Jigra alongside Vedang Raina. Directed by Vasan Bala and co-produced by Alia and Karan Johar, the film has received mixed reviews and is competing at the box office with Vicky Aur Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, featuring Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri. Additionally, Alia is working on her YRF spy-verse film, Alpha, alongside Sharvari and Bobby Deol.
