Joining Alia and Mahesh Bhatt, the actress’ mother Soni Razdan too took to Instagram sharing an image from Alia’s childhood. Posting the image Razdan added, “On this day 25 years ago you were born Alia. Your name had already been chosen in my head. Alia Knightly was a lovely British Indian model and when I read that name I had decided if I had a girl we would call her Alia. Luckily your father agreed. I had no idea what the name meant then. It was many years later that I found out it means ‘exalted’. And that you most certainly are. A month before you were born I had a dream. I saw your face clearly in that dream. Since then in these 25 years you have scaled great heights in your young life... true to your name. On this day, your birthday, I wish you all the best as always... but I also wish that you keep your core self intact. Your special simple sweet self intact through all the craziness and the heady ups and the not so heady downs of life ... don’t lose sight of who you really are inside. Because it’s that self that will be your guide and your most precious companion. Wish we were with you today... Happy Birthday sweetheart. Have a glass for me. Love always ... Mama”.

Back on the work front, apart from Brahmastr, Alia Bhatt will also be seen in Meghna Gulzar’s Raazi this year which is set for May 11 release. Post that, the actress will be seen in Zoya Akhtar’s Gully Boy with Ranveer Singh.
