Alia Bhatt, known for her stellar performances in various Bollywood movies, including the recent hit Rocky Aur Ranii Ki Prem Kahaani, shares a special bond with her sister Shaheen Bhatt. Shaheen has courageously spoken out about her struggles with mental health, particularly her five-year battle with depression. Recently, Alia opened up about how she has been there for her sister during these challenging times, emphasizing the importance of being a supportive presence in Shaheen’s life.
In a heartwarming conversation on the popular chat show What Women Want hosted by Kareena Kapoor Khan, Alia reflected on the evolution of her approach in comforting Shaheen through her depression journey. Initially, she would encourage Shaheen to engage in various activities outside the home, hoping for a quick fix. However, as time passed, Alia realized that Shaheen’s healing process was more complex and required a different kind of support.
The talented 31-year-old actress fondly recalled the early signs of Shaheen’s depression, mentioning how her sister had been coping with it for a significant part of her life. Despite Shaheen’s resilience in navigating through life, Alia’s priority now is to create a safe space for her sister to express herself openly. “I just want her to be able to talk to me,” Alia shared, highlighting the power of listening and understanding in their relationship.
On the professional front, Alia is gearing up for her upcoming projects, including the much-anticipated Yash Raj Films’ production, Alpha, directed by Shiv Rawail. Scheduled for a Christmas release in 2025, Alpha promises to be a groundbreaking addition to the YRF Spy Universe, with Alia and Sharvari leading the way. Additionally, Alia is set to star alongside her husband, Ranbir Kapoor, and Vicky Kaushal in Love & War, along with an exciting love story project in the pipeline.
In a beautiful turn of events, Alia tied the knot with Ranbir Kapoor on April 14, 2022, and the couple welcomed their adorable daughter, Raha, into their lives. Kareena Kapoor Khan, Alia’s sister-in-law, continues to be a supportive presence in her life, bridging the bond between their families with love and laughter.
