Soni Razdan Reacts to Alia Bhatt's Take on Mahesh Bhatt

Mahesh Bhatt's Habit of Mixing Up Names

Alia humorously revealed that having a smooth and free-flowing conversation with her father could sometimes be difficult because he often forgot whom exactly he was talking to. "It's very difficult to have a smooth, easy, free-flowing conversation when he forgets who he's talking to and then calls me Shaheen and then sometimes Soni and then some other people that I've never heard of and then does the same thing with everyone else," the "Highway" actress said, painting a vivid, almost comedic picture of everyday interactions with her father.

A Habit She's Now Inherited Herself

However, Alia went on to reveal that the very habit she once found irritating had gradually rubbed off on her as well. "But lo and behold, the apple doesn't fall very far from the tree, and now I do the exact same thing. So what's annoying is I've picked up on this quirk, and I've become this quirk," she added, offering a self-aware and endearing admission that turned what started as a complaint into a moment of genuine familial reflection.

A Spontaneous Expression of Love

Further into the video, when Alia was asked when she had last told her father that she loved him, she chose not to rely on memory alone and instead called him right away. As it turned out, Mahesh Bhatt happened to be at the same premises, inside a preview theatre at the time. Alia reached out to him on the spot and said, "I love you daddy. That was the last time," turning what could have been a simple recollection into a genuine, real-time moment captured on camera.

Why This Kind of Content Resonates

Candid, unscripted family exchanges like this one tend to resonate strongly with audiences precisely because they humanise public figures, showing a side of well-known personalities that feels relatable rather than curated. The mix of humour, self-deprecation and genuine affection in Alia's responses offers a glimpse into the Bhatt family's dynamic that feels authentic rather than staged for publicity.

Alia's Support for Her Mother's New Film

Meanwhile, Alia has also been actively supporting her mother Soni Razdan, who is currently promoting her latest project "Om Ka Hari." Directed by Harish Vyas and produced under the banner of First Ray Films, the film features Anshuman Jha and Raghubir Yadav in the lead roles of Om and Hari respectively. The movie is scheduled for a theatrical release on September 18, with this candid family video appearing to form part of the broader promotional push surrounding Soni's latest project, blending personal family content with professional promotion in a way that feels organic rather than overtly commercial.
