Alia Bhatt tells mom Soni she won’t let daughter Raha move out of home in early 20s like she did: ‘I felt so guilty…’

Alia said that when she was a 23-year-old actor who was occupied with projects, she barely had time to spend time with Soni. She said, “I was barely 23 when I moved out of the house. I’d be away on long shooting schedules, and sometimes you wouldn’t even know which city I was in. So that was a defining point in my life, and our relationship.”

However, while she appreciated Soni for all the support and privacy, she feels she left home too soon. She added, “But I do feel I left home too soon—and I won’t let that happen with Raha. Believe it or not, usually I’m a forward-thinking kind of person, but with Raha, I’m just taking each day as it comes. Papa recently told me: “If you don’t let Raha fall down, it will be the biggest mistake you’ll make because she’ll never learn how to pick herself up.”

During their discussion, Soni expressed her feelings of how at times she felt like she was Alia’s manager not mother. “Those days I remember feeling less mom and more like a manager. You’d barely spend five minutes with me in the morning for tea,” she said. However, Soni said that she loves where they are today and said that things have changed. Soni said that she respects Alia’s privacy and wants her to arrive at her own way of parenting. 

On the work front, Alia will next be seen in the film Jigra.
