Alia Bhatt was given middle-class upbringing, reveals mother Soni Razdan

Bollywood star Alia Bhatt is a favorite of people all around for her charming personality, star performances and down-to-earth nature, and it appears that her mother had a lot to do with her being raised well.

During an interview with India Today, the 26-year-old Raazi star’s mother Soni Razdan revealed that she made sure that Alia received a middle-class upbringing throughout her life, not being told she was special from the rest despite having Mahesh Bhatt as her father who was and remains a prominent name in the idsutry.

“I did not bring up my child to think that she was a star. If I had treated her any differently, it would have messed everything up. She was brought up normally, like other kids. In a normal house, and it was a normal middle-class life,” she stated.

Earlier she had also spoken about her daughter’s beau Ranbir Kapoor saying: “It’s her personal life. Ranbir is a lovely boy. I think whoever Alia has dated before or will date, (it) is her choice and her life. I’ll always support her but I don’t think I should discuss this you know. It’s not right on my part to discuss (her personal life) in public. As a mom, I’m just happy if she is happy.”
