Alia Bhatt From Putting Cream On Daddy’s Feet For Rs 500 Went On To Earn More Than Father Reveals Mahesh Bhatt

Mahesh Bhatt has been in the industry for more than 2 decades now; in his long career the filmmaker has given many memorable and blockbuster films like, Arth, Saaransh, Aashiqui, Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin and many more. However, in his recent interview, the director applauded his daughter and actress Alia Bhatt for her achievement and said, she is not an extension of her parents.

Since her debut in Student of the Year, the actress has been part of some major films and her upcoming films include, Gangubai Kathiawadi, Brahmastra, RRR and Jee Le Zara. Not many are aware but she had a small cameo in 1999 film, Sangharsh.

In an interview with Elle Magazine, Mahesh Bhatt said, “She (Alia Bhat) is not an extension of her parents. She is a fire of her own. Although I was a filmmaker, we always lived on the edge of the industry. Our home was not a hub for film parties. I made films to make a living, and these are the things that have gone into Alia’s consciousness. She works with ferocity and focus, but she also has deep empathy.”
