The girl on the move is now ready to move out of protective parents’ home. Yes, Alia Bhatt has bought her own place, just a stone’s throw away from her family home in Juhu where she spent her entire 23 years with her parents and sister Shaheen.
The home is being done up by Alia’s mom, the very aesthetic Soni Razdan with invaluable inputs from Alia’s grandfather, mom Soni’s father, an 87-year old practicing architect.
The one who is most unhappy with her decision is her dad Mahesh Bhatt.
Laughs Alia indulgently, “He was like, ‘Why do you have to move out? Why do you need your own place when you’ve all the privacy that you need right here in this house?’ When I tried to convince him that I had to find my own place he insisted that there must be a room for him in my new home. I’ve tried to explain to him that I am just a breath away. But he is unconvinced. I guess dads will be dads.”
And yes, Alia is not leaving alone. “My sister Shaheen is also moving in with me. I wouldn’t be able to sleep all alone in my new place.”
