MUMBAI MIRROR (February 16, 2019)

Alia Bhatt, who recently made a rare TV appearance with her actressfilmmaker mom Soni Razdan, was on a roll as she shared several lesser-known facets of her life.

Starting from scratch, the 25-year-old actress revealed on the show Starry Nights 2.Oh! that as a child, she was told that her name meant ‘a star up in the sky’. When asked about her filmi traits, which date back to her childhood as well, she added with a laugh, “I used to have performances ready for Sundays. My grandparents would come home, and I would perform for them. I would also carry a CD to my mother’s friend’s houses and I would dance there as well. I was born filmy.”

Alia went on to add that she is the opposite of her elder sister Shaheen. “She was the quiet one and would read thousands of books. She was way more intelligent, a very ‘proper’ type of girl,” the actress said, adding that on her day off, she finds herself doing a lot of activities. “I enjoy working out, swimming and anything that’s activity-driven.”

When asked if she ever gets tired of work, she said, “I do but I like that tiredness. At the end of the day when I go back home, I do not even remember my name, it’s that kind of tired. So, when I take a break after shooting for a film, I feel like I have earned it.”

Meanwhile, Soni chimed in to inform Alia’s fans that the actress “can sometimes have a bad temper.”
