I sit like this in the car, like on the way home. My legs are shaking, my body
is moving. Then I call him. I say, Raha, come down. I haven't reached in five
minutes. You can't wait to go up. Who else do you think is fun?
So she said, Papa.
What about Mama? And I said, little fun.
Little fun. And I called up Randhir immediately.
He's like, our daughter just said I'm not fun.
Yeah, and that's because of you. In a way, me being on set is me time. We are
the same.
That's our best time.
You have added Kapoor to your name. Oh, no.
Okay, anyway.
But now then you are Kapoor. I'm a Kapoor and Randhir's a Bhatt.
Welcome to What Women Want with Kareena Kapoor Khan, Season 5.
Presented by Dabur Gulabri, co -powered by Philips Garmin Steamer and Max Life
Insurance. My guest for today is an actress, a superstar, a singer, an
entrepreneur and an author.
She is an actress who has glam style, intense look, iskwala romance or action
swag.
This means she can play any role on screen and totally be the best at it.
I'm sure you must have come to know who my guest is.
Call her Shanaya, Veera or Gangu. She'll always be the Rani of our nation.
Please welcome Alia Bhat Kapoor.
Hello.
Who is the Rani of our nation?
You.
That was an intro and a half.
That has to be. You're my most favorite guest, bro.
Oh, the guest will be bad. No, but I mean, like, I mean, please, everybody
to know that Alia is, I mean, I think we're everybody's favorite. May I be
favorite too?
Yes, of course. This episode is also, you know, it should be what sisters
And I know that...
Like the way Lolo and me have this bond, you and Shaheen have this bond, and you
all are very close.
And Saifu always tells me that, why are these sisters always so close? You and
Lolo also always go through each other.
And I'm like, you know, I don't know.
It's just there. And you're playing a sister in your next film.
And there you have a close bond with your brother.
So tell us before we start a little bit about obviously Jigra, the role, how it
came about.
So Jigra, the film came to me right after I'd given birth to Raha.
It was actually like two months after Karan called me up and he said, listen,
Vasanwala is doing a film for Dharma and you, I mean, you're not in the
headspace right now, but I just want you to meet him once. He's got this idea.
And I was like, yeah, give me a, like, give me a month or something. I'll just,
when I'm open to doing a meeting, I'll call you. Cause I was just like really
hectic at that time.
And I was like, okay, fine, let's meet. And he told me the one line of the
story. And the one line is very simple.
It says that the lens a sister would go to to protect her brother or her
sibling.
And I just found that so, like, at that moment, that timing could not have been
more perfect. Because, you know, post giving birth, you're in your, like,
mode. You're just like.
You're so protected. The protection is just like oozing out of you. So I was
like, this is just luck that this script has come to me.
Then of course I fell in love with the script. I fell in love with the story.
And then that was it. Jigra became my post baby first film. And the first film
you shot also.
Yeah, it was the first film I shot.
Like 11 months later, which was really hard, to be very honest. But they made
very comfortable for me. And I shot a lot of nights.
And you also produced Darlings, which was amazing.
You produced Vigra.
Is there some path you're following?
Yeah, I think the feeling was that something that stays with you long
Like some emotional chord that just like hits.
Or something that just stays with you. Or something that you can take away.
Because I believe movies are eternal.
And they bring, you know, sunshine into our lives when there's a beautiful movie
that you watch.
So those two things together is basically the endeavor for eternal.
Nice.
So when Ranbir came on What Women Want, he spoke about the fact that, you know,
how he was enjoying his baby duties. Like he was burping. Obviously, Ra was
smaller at that time.
Yeah, he came prior to Animal, correct?
Yeah. Yeah, no, I think the other one. Yeah, earlier. Duty Makar, correct.
So he was managing sleepless nights. And I think basically he's quite hands -on.
Very hands -on. Yeah, from what we can see. So how do you divide that baby
duties?
So while Ranbir likes to take keen interest in like...
The care part of it.
All things care is usually me. Like, more like putting her schedule together,
what she's going to eat, all meal times, putting her to sleep, doing anything,
changing. Now, like, for a very clear thing, it's like she is very clear of
she wants. Mama, come. No, Papa, come. No, Mama, come. No, Mama, do it. She
won't, even if a nanny is there, she's like, no, Mama, do it. Yeah. And then I
have to do it. If I'm there, then I have to do it.
Ranbir is like super creative when it comes to her play time. That I'll never
able to match. But I must tell you a very funny story.
Once Raha was eating and I was feeding on...
Generally, when she's eating and all, I like to keep it like super quiet and
chill. So she can enjoy the meal time and all. It's literally the two of us.
And she was, someday she's something like bossy fun. Bossy is Ayaan. She's
fun. So I said, wow, who else do you think is fun?
So she said, papa.
So then I said, okay, and what about mama?
She said.
And she took a pause. Yeah. And she was like, uh. And I said, little fun.
Little fun.
And I called up Ranbir immediately being like, our daughter just said I'm not
fun. Yeah. And that's because of you.
But, so that's basically how it is. He's like, you know, obviously, like you
said, you know, playing more. So for them, whoever's playing with them,
up them, that's fun.
Yeah. She loves that.
But she also knows who to complain to.
And you're the disciplinary beauty.
I mean.
I feel like that also, she can walk all over me, I feel. At least currently.
Like, I get scared of her. Sometimes when she says, no, I can't, like, put my
foot down. Like, Ranbir can make some fake, hmm, hmm, kind of voice with her.
And she might listen to him. But then she might not listen to him also. So,
she's really, like, in this very juicy development stage right now. You were
and a half, no?
No, almost two.
So, almost two, yeah.
The terrible twos, but yeah.
But management, I would say management is me.
Fun and games is him. Management, because management is easy, Alia.
we're like instructing people, like do this, do that.
Yeah. So that's what even I do, that's happened.
Yeah. The fathers are always doing the fun things.
I know, God, I'm going through that.
So of course, like so much work with Raha and everything. How do you get your
time? Me time is very important.
It's lesser.
I think honestly by the
end of the day I'm too tired and exhausted as well. So if like say
shoot then that's the moment for me to get my me time where I put on like an
episode of Friends and eat my dinner and watch some YouTube videos or reels and
chat with my friends or something like that.
But I'm actually also happy with the time.
I mean
There is, like, a downside as well. Like, me time is also very important
like, self -growth and self -reflection. And, like, say, for example, I
regularly do therapy now for a couple of years and all. And now life has been so
active, I've not even been able to do that properly.
Like, I'm, like, doing 20 minutes and running and rushing and all. Like, so, I
understand that me time is less, but it's not that I'm feeling bad about it.
you're craving it. No. Yeah.
I, like, whatever it is, it's less. And in a way, me being on set is me time.
Whenever I'm on set, I'm like... That is our time. That is my me time. My doing
my hair, makeup, chatting with the crew.
With Puneet and Amit.
Chatting, discussing.
We are the same.
That's our best time.
I love my lunches with them in the middle of shooting. Come on, I mean,
happened? But lunches, they are eating, you're watching.
By the time they come with their lunch, I have finished eating.
So now
our next
segment is the dhabar gulabri glow or low segment. So I'm going to give you
placards and some situations and you have to decide if it's glow or low.
Low ka matla? Low like if it was like, like if it's not nice.
The night before your movie releases.
Yes. Even now.
I mean, like, yeah. I mean, you've done so many movies. Night before?
Yeah. So, you're thinking about it. That, okay.
No matter what. See, the thing is. Opening, this, that. Yeah. The thing is,
you believe in the film, then you're more nervous.
Because you feel like, I hope people believe in the film as well. If you're
scared, then you're even more nervous. You're like, I hope. You know, whatever.
Yeah.
So you're still like, no.
I get low and low.
Underneath the bed, I lie down. Oh, God.
So you come home to hug Raha.
It's like you're waiting. You're like, as soon as this interview gets over. Oh,
my God. Like, if I leave the house early in the morning and she's not woken up
yet and I come back home, I literally like, I'm like.
I sit like this in the car, like on the way home. My legs are shaking, my body
is moving. Then I call him. I say, Raha, come down.
I'm reaching in 5 minutes.
You can't wait to go up. Yeah, I can't. Usually she waits at the lift. Now I
started calling her down. I'm like, no, because she likes to go for walks under
the building.
That's her outing.
Yeah, that's her outing. I figured that.
A perfect no -makeup selfie.
It's a glow if you get that. And you know, on your Instagram, you're perfect
that. And thanks to my beautiful makeup artist, Puneet.
You're always glowing. I'm always glowing.
Punita's smiling, by the way.
Getting a pimple a day before an event.
Do you bother? Is it like... Yeah, yeah. I'm human.
So you're like... Yeah, I get frisked. But it's not like low, but I get
irritated.
Yeah. So when the movie you've headlined, like, whatever, hopefully
enters the 500 crore club.
You'd be like, I'm flying.
Never know why.
Anything is possible with Alia. I think. Is there a faint? Yeah. Is there
something more than glow? Yeah.
Faint. Yeah.
Yeah. Glow of course.
And then maybe low. Because if you do it once.
Then you have to do it again. Again and again. And Alia's expectations are
there. So.
Alia's perception changes after becoming.
You know. A mother.
That.
You know, how will you maintain balance between, you know, working, coming home,
doing things like that.
I mean, a lot changes in your life. Like, even for the matter that when you
out with Raha today. Yeah. It's different than when you go alone because
pap. are constantly trailing her now yeah 100 % and I think I mean she's
2 years old and when it started out I was like oh no I'll maintain the balance
and you know why is there so much it'll all work out and all and now I'm
naturally finding myself wanting to cut more out like just do what really
matters and like If it doesn't matter, it's not worth it. You know, like
I used to maybe find the need to do everything and anything.
I used to feel very guilty saying no to people. Someone used to ask me for
something and I used to say, okay, this is not for him, it's for her.
I need to do it. I would cut a lot of pieces of myself so that, you know,
were never disappointed in me. And I now find myself being like, guys, I have to
put the guardrails up because if I don't do it, I'm just going to keep giving
and I won't be giving to her.
Absolutely. Which is most important to me.
So I'm actually constantly struggling with that balance.
It's something that I think you do beautifully.
I've seen you do it since the beginning and you've done it.
I'm sure you also have your days of stress and we've spoken about it.
You have to make a lot of sacrifices. You have to say no to a lot of things.
Cutting things out is the most important.
So yeah, that is one thing. And then of course, I think earlier I had a very
different feeling of like Raha being papped, you know. We were on a show
together where we would, like at that time, I was like, listen, I just don't
think she's too small and nobody, like she should not be a reel on Instagram
all of that. And then there was this one moment before the Christmas lunch where
we were driving and it was random where Ranbir's like, listen, should we take a
picture with Raha today?
And I was like...
are you sure anxiety anxiety was like because i do have anxiety so i have like
i'm clinically diagnosed with anxiety so every moment for me is anxious like my
worst case scenario all the time so he obviously understood that and he said
okay now you're going to get really anxious so let's talk about it let's
about what your worst fear is so we talked about it all the way from bandra
you
And then finally I was like, listen, it's true. Like, this is our life. And I
don't want people to think that, oh, you can't see my daughter's face. That was
not the intention.
I just didn't want it to be like a whole thing.
And that one moment happened and it was such a cute moment.
She was holding both our faces like that.
And now she's getting used to it. I still get a little uncomfortable, I'll
honest. Like, don't flash in her eyes, guys. And like, you know, whatever. But
also realized that there's only love for her.
Yeah.
And she's a beautiful baby and she gives us a lot of joy. I know.
She's giving everyone.
We're like all like, oh God. Yeah, but that little stress is normal.
Of course it's normal. I mean, even till today, I like when Jay is going out or
something, I'm constantly like pushing them ahead, pushing them ahead. Yeah.
yeah, I guess you'll get over time. Yeah. Which you have become anyway.
But you've also done, like tried your hand at, like, you know, you did.
Heart of Stone which was in Hollywood we're seeing you so much on the global
platform now like the L 'Oreal and everything so is there any plans that
going to do lots more of Hollywood movies or how is it like what's the
process now?
I think I mean I think genuinely like the timing of when Heart of Stone came
me I had some time and I was like okay it will be an interesting opportunity to
do a film like this to kind of break into the scene a little bit see even
did RRR for example it was to branch out into a new market make yourself a
little uncomfortable same with Heart of Stone and same would be for any other
film that I sign it's not like meko Hollywood film karna hai or ye film
hai it's more about like yeah just keep Keep second guessing yourself and keep
making something more challenging and unnerving for yourself so that you, you
know, you grow a little bit more in life as well as it comes to comfortable.
But English film, I mean, of course, you will do like whatever.
It depends on the script. On the script. I mean, suddenly now I'm like a little
bit.
How will I go? I can't like move bag and baggage and like travel for three
months, four months also. Now it's hard to do those things. Now I can't just get
up on a whim and do that. So it will require a lot of planning.
Though Ranbir will be very happy to sit at home alone with Raha, I think.
Because he's just like obsessed.
He's like, yeah, you work, I'm at home.
No, it's not like that.
It should happen. But yeah, now it will be difficult. Yeah, it will be
difficult. But I mean like, again, it depends on the story, it depends on the
timing and it depends on how badly I want to do it.
But also Alia's entering her action era is what I feel. With like the stunts
that we see in the promo that you've done. Even I was like, oh my God, is
Alia? How is she doing this? Because we're so used to obviously seeing you in
the beautiful, glamorous roles.
You know, performance oriented roles and everything. But now I think with Jigra
and Alpha.
Yeah. So like, what is it? Is it like only action films? Or how did you
for the stunts?
So there was no preparation in
Jigra.
I look like doing action because it'll be not believable.
Like you'd be like, she's so small. Who is she going to hit?
But she's such a good actor.
She can do anything.
But you know what I wanted to also say is that it's not like, it's not like I'm
trying to make some like, you know, like some point physically.
It's just like, actually, if the character is really endearing,
badass, what...
The punches and kicks land the same way after that. But the story has to lend to
that moment.
I would not say action era. Like abhi mein sirf action film karne wali hu. But
I'm like, why not?
Like, why limit yourself?
Chalo, even if I try and I fail.
That's it. I just failed. It's not like I never tried it. So, it will be
amazing.
So now you've sung in Jigra as well and you sang before. With your favourite.
With my favourite, yes.
So obviously, I mean, both my favourites are in the song. So obviously, I love
it. But, I mean, what is this? Like, you're not going to pursue your, I mean,
singing career or something. I don't know.
I don't know if your voice is that good. No.
I mean, I don't know. I'm just asking.
That's it.
That's it.
I'm going to tell this to somebody who tells me, please watch your singing
career. I'm like, no, but Kareena Kapoor Khan said my voice is not that good.
No, I'm just like, okay, what's happening? No, not at all.
Vedant can sing. Yeah, he has such a lovely voice.
He has an outstanding voice. He sung Phooloka Taruka and Jigra. He sung the
title track of Jigra. And he plays into, actually, album.
cut I can sing in my bathroom and then little bit with the help of like some
individuals in the recording studio yeah but you're not gonna like cut a single
and no once upon a time in life I had some plan but that's it then it ended
there only they ended in the bathroom so anyway because you bring your own
experience not only to movies but also you know in when you're a couple you and
Ranbir I want to know what you
This is very funny because your experience to finances. Because our next
is the max life insurance.
She is the different segment.
So my situation is that I'm already laughing because I think most of the
will be done. But anyway, I'm going to give you the placard and you have to say
he or she in what situation like, you know, dealing with finances. Okay. So he
or me.
Who's better at planning finances?
Who? I'm telling you, this is going to go up.
Who's better at communication?
Text, WhatsApp.
Directly communicating.
You. Yeah, he's very non -confrontational and even if there's
communicated, it usually happens through me.
So everything, in that sense. Okay.
Who's better at managing work and home?
Both. Both are doing it well.
Okay. Yeah. He also, I'm sure. Yeah. You know, he's actually a cat. Like, so
he's very like particular about his space. So I wouldn't say Ranbir only
and doesn't care about the house and the way it's functioning or his space.
He's very into it. Very into it. And so am I. I'm a little bit, maybe I'm more
into it with, with like just being on top of most of the things, but he's also
very into it. I would say both.
This, I think it's him. Who's better at suggesting which business to invest in?
You? Okay, I got that wrong. My investments are very good. Okay, but
decisions you are taking or no? I am taking.
Like, I don't think he's taking as actively.
Okay, okay. No, you are taking, like, you know, like, you're reading the FTN
you know, like, the Financial Times. No, I'm not reading the Financial Times.
But, like, I'm saying, like, investing in startups and stuff like that. Okay,
you are more active in that. I'm more active in that. It's something that I've
maybe naturally been brought to me. So, I've taken more keen interest in it,
whether it's with pool or, you know.
you know earlier with other brands and stuff like that super bottoms like these
are all things where i've these investments have come to me and i love
and i've invested in i don't think ranbir has gotten into that side of the
like he knows he's yeah he's yeah yeah correct he's a little old school i can
figure that who's better the social media game i feel ranbir is excellent at
but he's like
So then you.
It's a social media game. Posting or stalking. Yeah, that's what.
Posting is you.
Stalking is him. So then we're sorted.
And who's better at walking the ramp?
You, right?
I don't think he's interested.
He looks like he's interested.
I mean, maybe I've walked more ramps. So maybe me. Yeah, so you.
Yeah. Okay, clearly. So then I think when it comes to family, I think both of
them are really good at it. So you can.
Not bad. Not bad.
So Alia, you come from a family of superstars as well. You're married into
family which has a legacy of superstars. Now discussing the Kapoors a little
bit. And don't say me because it's really boring now. Who is the Kapoor
really look up to and love?
I think my mother -in -law.
And, you know, we've really found a very natural, organic friendship over
the last couple of years.
But it's really become, I think, deeper, I would say. And she would agree as
well in the last six months. Like, something happened. You know, we went on
trip also together right now to Paris. And I was walking for L 'Oreal. And, you
know, she was like, I want to come for the show. I'm so proud.
And when I was walking, she was literally cheering the loudest. Like, I
like I was back in school. And, you know, seeing my mother over there.
It really became like a friendship very naturally. And it's something that I
remember when we were getting married. She said, you know.
you're my daughter -in -law and I'm your mother -in -law, but I had the most
beautiful friendship with my mother -in -law. And you should speak so fondly of
Krishna aunty and like the moments that she shared with her. And she said, I
want the same thing with my daughter -in -law.
And she's really very cool, you know, and she's so full of positivity and
hope. And I remember even during the toughest time when like Rishi uncle was
hospital and it was feeling like we were getting bad news after bad news, you
know, towards the end.
And I just remember her face always being like, let's hope for the best.
Let's keep the positive spirit up.
And I think doing that is not easy at a time like that. You can really make it
like, you can really like kind of crumble and break down. And it's not
didn't have those moments as well. But she's got this natural thing of like
keeping the positivity and the joy up. And I think that's where Ranbir gets it
from as well. Like even when he's stressed and down and low, his feeling
like, yeah, don't take it out. No, but it's not.
Somebody else's problem that I'm having a bad day. Yeah, and I realized he gets
that from her.
So she's really she's super cool That's amazing to hear. You're also close to
your own Mum sister and especially Shaheen like I just I told you in the
beginning Lolo and me also so close Now you shine is openly spoken about, you
know mental health issues. Yeah, and you know suffering with depression So, how
do you handle that and how have you comforted her?
You know having being so closely associated and seeing it firsthand um i
over the years the dealing with it has changed because you know earlier there's
a feeling of like oh you don't want her to feel that way so you're trying
everything to do to just make her unfeel it you know oh why don't we go out why
don't we do this and then you realize that there's not something that it's not
quick fix especially um you know when when um when she found out that she was
clinically diagnosed with depression was when she was very young she was like 13
or 14 um i mean maybe she was diagnosed later but it started the symptoms
started very young so she's been living with it for a very long time and and and
moving and powering through life and i have again great admiration for the way
she does it but i think now my response to her is i just want her to be able to
talk to me and not expect and not and I don't need to expect to say something to
her immediately.
Sometimes all she needs is just for me to sit next to her and just hear her.
You know, and just tell her what she's feeling is what she's feeling and not
and give her a solution.
Just validate the emotion there and then.
Again, we've been through our own journey with that.
It breaks my heart every time I feel like she's going through a rough patch
it comes in patches.
But I know that the person that she is today is because of what she's been
through. And that's something that she would agree with as well. It's made her
who she is. And of course, she would have preferred to maybe not have it in
life. But she's so emotionally evolved and she's so like her EQ is
so high. She can smell like a feeling from a mile away.
She's so like pulsating with emotions. I was like, you know, put that.
put that feeling into good use. And she's my partner at Eternal.
And now she's like developing stories and putting that emotional instinct into
storytelling. And she's doing a really good job at it, if I may say so myself.
Of course. So she's also a partner on Eternal Sunshine and one of the
on Jigra.
And has been such a strong support through... I mean, I can keep talking
my sister.
But it's important because, you know, our listeners are... women young girls
show is what women want talking about mental health I had to ask you the
question which was important and you answered it so beautifully and bravely
because you know I mean being you know the biggest star in the country your
voice needs to be heard on you know important topics and you've been very
about Shaheen so that's why I'm happy yeah and like I said it's nothing I've
openly spoken about me going for therapy me having anxiety I was like ADHD I
have all of it but I don't feel like I should be like embarrassed about
something that is a proper like you know a medically diagnosed condition like
there's nothing to feel embarrassed about you use it to your you i mean if
comes in your way you try and move away from it to the best of your capabilities
but never crack down too hard on yourself for anything and that's
i've learned through the years watching my sister and of course now just dealing
with things myself
It's going to be a little fun game because, of course, you're known for
fashion Met Gala.
You're, you know, all the sarees that you wear, everything. So our next
is a fashion segment, which is the Philips Garment Steamer Love for
I'll take some descriptions, of course, of, you know, Bollywood celebrities. And
you have to guess that particular celebrity.
Okay. Elegant sarees and glittering kanji varams.
Always iconic.
Rekha.
Not bad.
Bright smile, flowing hair, the queen of airport looks.
As said by you.
Deepika Padukone.
I'll just go to guess it all ya. An ace producer but also a stylist.
Ek Aur Kapoor.
Ace producer but also a stylist.
Rhea Kapoor. Fashion icon of the 90s and I have her mobile number.
Lolo. Yeah.
Cute that is. I think it was very cute.
See that.
This is yours. Please take the garment. Oh, thank you. No, you don't have to put
it on your lap. Oh, sorry. Then what do I do? Just play? Yeah.
They'll just take a picture.
Alia, you lost so much weight for your song in the sarees in Rocky Rani. And I
think it was very fast, the transition from Raha's birth to when you shot that
song. Yeah.
So was it an easy transition or how, like?
No, it was not easy, of course. Nothing is easy. But honestly, again, people
will think that I'm just saying this. But I, while I was doing, I'm doing
everything like as in eating healthy.
I was still feeding. I was breastfeeding for a very long time. So I couldn't go
on some crazy strict diet or anything like that.
And I could only start working on properly after 12 weeks.
Breastfeeding actually makes you burn a lot of calories.
So that I think did half of it.
And then in general, my choices even during pregnancy were not like I was
sugar every day and all of that. Like I was eating little more than I usually
eat or more than I usually eat. By the end of it, I was like no food was
enough for me.
But my choices are naturally healthy.
So I think when you make sure that the start is good.
The rest of it sort of falls into place.
Also, I kept strength training during pregnancy as well. Again, everybody
do it according to what their doctor said. But my doctor said that, listen,
three months ke baad, yoga karo, jo bhi karo, strength training karo, just don't
do any running or anything like that. We wouldn't advise if you're not a
comfortable runner. So I just did that.
So in that sense, it's not like I came back. to the size but I lost enough
weight for the sarees to look lovely and sarees in such a beautiful garment
would look lovely on any size. Yeah, you looked amazing.
So I embraced that. I was not over dressing.
So now you have added Kapoor to your name and we Kapoor love.
I don't know you said Alia but Kapoor. I was, I mean, okay, anyway, it was like
a gag.
But it's fine. But everybody knows now. But now then you are a Kapoor. I'm a
Kapoor and Ranbir's a Bhatt.
I think that's perfect.
You know that? Raha said that. Raha said that. Yeah. She said, Alia Bhatt. And
then once she said, Papa Bhatt. Papa Bhatt. She called him that. Today she
called me Alia Kapoor. So she keeps changing the names also. But you know
we all love our food. Yeah. And you've seen the way we all eat. Like when we
meet. Yeah. So what is that one recipe that you and Ranveer both enjoy?
The Kapoor recipe?
Yeah. Any food from...
the kapoor khana but i don't think you eat any of that from what i've seen so
any then you any recipe that you guys enjoy like we jointly enjoy chinese

So we'll ask you a few questions.
And this is going to be about the Bhatt family.
Okay. Okay, because you're a Bhatt and we want to know like who does what when
it comes to the Bhatt family.
Which Bhatt is the best secret keeper?
Shaheen Bhatt.
Shaheen Bhatt. Yeah.
And Pooja Bhatt. She'll be very good. Oh, really? Okay.
Interesting. She's very good. And which Bhatt is the biggest foodie?
I think they're all foodie.
Okay. But I would say Shaheen's also foodie but like limited. I would say my
and me.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
We eat more range.
Yeah, like you want to experiment. Experiment more. I mean, again, stay
the lines but experiment a little bit more. But Shaheen and my father are like
fixed. Shaheen only eats three sabzi and three things.
Which Bhatt is the fashionista?
Pooja. Oh, yeah.

She truly was.
Which Bhatt is the dominating one?
Chai.

No. No. My father is like very scared. What is he called?
He called her some principal. I got shouted by the principal again or
Oh, God. So, she's the... She's assertive, I would say. Assertive. Fine.
Bhatt is the party animal?
none of us i think none of y 'all know sony but sony more social sony likes a
quick dance and all because you're not you're like sleeping now at like nine o
'clock and not like none of us are real party animals but if somebody who has
the spirit of like, oh, let's go do this. Let's have an adventure. She has,
she's gone on her father.
She's more adventurous. She's more adventurous and fun. Okay, great. I
that was nice. She got a little insight into, you know, the Bhatt family. So
now, of course, we're in the final, final act, which is before you go. And
an AMA, which is you can ask me anything.
Oh, I wish I had known this. I would have prepared a little bit.
Okay.
I have a good question. Rolling?
Okay.
So you give, there's a feeling.
That you never get stressed or perturbed.
Nothing really bothers you.
It's always like Bebo doesn't care. Bebo is okay with anything.
Bebo is fine.
Bebo is really chill and all. So what I wanted to ask you is, is that really
true? Like behind closed doors.
Because you're a Virgo. I know that. All my best friends are Virgos.
It's not like stress doesn't enter your life.
Or you just choose to share it with... Maybe just Lolo or Saif or what? Like,
you actually get, like, stressed? And if there's something that stresses you
out, what is it? No, I'm always chilled. I'm always, but of course I do get
stressed.
Normal. Normal. Like, do you ever break down and be like, I can't deal with it?
No, I don't break down and say I can't deal with it. But I, but I sometimes do
go, like, crazy.
Good. Yeah. That's normal, na? Thank God.
Earlier I was like, okay, fine. I'm not the only one enjoying it. Yeah. Because,
yeah, like, sometimes, Do you, like, you should be able to feel, like, stressed
openly as well. Yeah, of course. Of course, I do. You just deal with it
well. Yeah, I do.
But thank you, Alia. All the best for Jigra. I think it's going to be a
of a hit.
And with you in it, of course, it will.
