Bollywood’s newest buddies: Alia Bhatt-Mira Rajput
Alia Bhatt has struck up quite the friendship with her Shaandaar co-star Shahid Kapoor’s wife Mira. Alia and Mira apparently work out at the same gym, which is where they became friends.
Even as her chemistry with Shahid Kapoor in Shandaar is wowing movie buffs, Alia Bhatt’s formed a warm equation with her co-star’s wife as well. Alia and Shahid’s wife Mira Rajput have become friends, we hear, mainly because they frequent the same gym.
While this dosti is a fairly recent one, Mira called up Alia to congratulate her at the music launch of Shaandaar — a gesture Alia deeply appreciated. “I spoke to her (Mira) that time and she comes to my gym as well so I meet her very often. But when we spoke, she expressed her appreciation for Shaam Shaandaar and I was obviously very excited,” Alia told us in a chat.
As for what Shahid’s reaction has been to the friendship between his wife and co-star, Alia says, “I am sure he is happier that his film is being appreciated by his wife. There’s no complication in that.”
Alia recently brought in her father Mahesh Bhatt’s 67th birthday and of the celebrations she says, “My dad isn’t a very ‘surprise, surprise!’ person… he likes simple things in life.
So we had a get-together with all his children, except for Sunny (Rahul Bhatt) who was not with us. We just sat and talked and ate his (dad’s) favourite food. He was in Lahore the day before for work commitments and he flew down home for his birthday.”
Alia, who endorses Garnier Pure Active Neem and Tulsi facewash, has recently turned vegetarian and she says this has helped her a lot to get clearer skin. “Since I turned vegetarian, I am having a lot of cool foods. That does help with my skin. Not that you have to turn vegetarian to get clear skin, but this has worked for me!”
