When Alia felt nervous for her mother
Alia on Mothers Day
Mumbai, May 13: Actress Alia Bhatt felt happy to work with her mother Soni Razdan in her latest release "Raazi" but admits to getting nervous for the veteran actress.
During an appearance on the dance reality show "High Fever…Dance ka Naya Tevar", Alia spoke about her mother, read a statement.
"To me, Mother's Day is one of those days when I get to see a lot of Mother's Day greeting cards. I believe Mother's Day should not be just a one-day celebration rather must be celebrated every day," said Alia.
"We always look at this day as one of those days when we should take out time for our mothers. I don't think any day and any amount of celebration can really make up for what mothers do for us."
Talking about working with her mother, Alia said: "I don't get enough time to spend with my mother. It gets really difficult for me to take out time for her and I feel really bad about that."
"With 'Raazi', I have managed to get to spend eight days straight with her because I was working with her and she is playing the role of my mother in the film as well."
"I was actually nervous for my mother and hoping that she has memorised her lines well. I wanted her to be superb. But I forgot that my mother has way more experience with films than me."
"I am just like her. Me and my mother were often told that we look like twins because we have a similar way of talking," she shared.
Alia also dedicated a message for her mother on the show saying: "I want to thank you and also apologise for all those moments when I get irritated and angry with you. This is my way of showing love to you."
"High Fever… Dance Ka Naya Tevar" is aired on &TV channel.

Congress cites Maniben Patel's diary entries, asks Rajnath to apologise for Babri claim
New Delhi (PTI): The Congress on Saturday shared diary entries of Vallabhbhai Patel's daughter from a book to rebut Defence Minister Rajnath Singh's claim that India's first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, wanted to build the Babri masjid using public funds, and demanded that Singh apologise for spreading "falsehoods".
Congress general secretary in charge of communications, Jairam Ramesh, claimed the defence minister was spreading falsehoods to “improve his relationship” with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“Here is Maniben's original diary entry in Gujarati on pages 212-213 in the book ‘Samarpit Padchhayo Sardarno’ by CA R S Patel 'Aaresh', published by Sardar Patel Vallabhbhai Patel Memorial Society, 2025,” Ramesh said on X, sharing screenshots of the relevant pages from the book.
“There is a huge difference between what is contained in the original diary entry and what Rajnath Singh ji and his fellow ‘distorians’ are propagating,” Ramesh said.
“The Defence Minister must apologise for the falsehoods he is spreading, simply to improve his relationship with the PM,” he claimed.
The Congress had earlier termed Singh's claim that Nehru wanted to build the Babri masjid using public funds a “lie” and “WhatsApp university story”, and said the defence minister should not walk in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's path.
Addressing a gathering at Sadhli village in Gujarat's Vadodara district last Tuesday, Singh said Nehru wanted to build the Babri masjid using public funds, but Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel didn't allow his plans to succeed.
The BJP had cited a book by Vallabhbhai Patel's daughter to double down on Singh's claims, and said the first prime minister also said he felt "repelled" by some of the temples in south India despite their beauty.
“The source of what Rajnath Singh said is the 'Inside Story of Sardar Patel, Diary of Maniben Patel'," BJP Rajya Sabha MP and national spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi had said at a press conference at the party headquarters while responding to media queries on the issue.
Trivedi claimed that on Page 24 of the book, it is written that Nehru also raised the question of the Babri mosque, but Sardar Patel made it clear that the government could not spend any money on building a mosque.
