I would get nervous if she forgot her dialogues: Alia Bhatt on working with her mom

Alia Bhatt’s Raazi looks enormously promising and the actress has proved, yet again, that she is an actor to reckon with. This powerhouse of talent will be seen working with her mother, Soni Razdan, in the film. And Alia says she was very nervous for her mother.

“I was nervous not for myself but for her. I hoped my mother had memorised all the dialogues. I would get nervous if she forgot her dialogues,” Alia said. She added, “Obviously, she has worked for far longer than I have and she is a much better actor than I am and she was so chilled out. We were in Kashmir and we had a great time. It was a beautiful experience.”

Alia is playing an Indian spy married to a Pakistani officer during the Indo-Pakistan war of 1971. She says, “It’s a true story and is the first time I will be playing a real-life character, so that comes with a sense of responsibility. I hope there is right amount of representation so that people understand what this character went through.”

Alia then digressed a little, straying to the topic of the Kathua rape victim. “It is a disgraceful, shameful and terrible incident. As a girl, as a woman, as an individual, as a citizen of this country, I feel very hurt. I fervently hope that justice is served. We should go out there and condemn this because this cannot be done to us again and again,” she said.
