Bollywood sensation Alia Bhatt recently opened up about her deep admiration for a member of the renowned Kapoor family. Surprisingly, it’s not the charming Ranbir Kapoor or their adorable daughter Raha that has captured her heart, but the elegant matriarch, Neetu Kapoor. Alia fondly recalled a heartwarming moment in Paris when Neetu, like a proud mother, cheered her on during a ramp walk, bringing back nostalgic memories of her school days.
In a candid conversation with Kareena Kapoor Khan on What Women Want, Alia didn’t hesitate for a second before naming Neetu Kapoor as the Kapoor family member she looks up to and cherishes the most. Their bond has blossomed into a beautiful friendship, especially in the past six months. Alia reminisced about their special trip to Paris, where Neetu enthusiastically accompanied her to a significant event.
As Alia strutted down the ramp, Neetu’s cheers rang the loudest, filling her with a sense of warmth and nostalgia, akin to a child seeing her mother beaming with pride. Alia shared, “When I was walking the ramp, she was cheering the loudest. I felt like I was back in school, seeing my mother over there.”
Alia revealed a poignant moment when Neetu expressed her desire to cultivate a close friendship similar to the one she had with her own mother-in-law. This heartfelt sentiment touched Alia deeply, solidifying their bond and highlighting the unique connection they share.
Alia marveled at Neetu’s resilience and unwavering optimism, particularly during the trying times when Rishi Kapoor was hospitalized. Neetu’s ability to remain hopeful and strong in the face of adversity left a profound impact on Alia, who saw it as a wellspring of courage. She believed that Ranbir had inherited his mother’s positive spirit, aiding him in navigating challenging situations with a similar outlook.
In the realm of her professional life, Alia is immersed in filming the upcoming spy thriller Alpha alongside the talented Sharvari Wagh. Additionally, she is eagerly preparing for the highly anticipated Love & War, helmed by the visionary Sanjay Leela Bhansali, where she will share the screen with Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal. The future looks bright for this gifted actress as she continues to captivate audiences with her talent and charm.
