Alia Bhatt is currently promoting her upcoming film Jigra, set to release next month. In a recent conversation with Devara: Part 1 star Jr NTR and filmmaker Karan Johar, Alia shared that she signed Jigra shortly after the birth of her daughter with Ranbir Kapoor, Raha Kapoor. She mentioned that the film’s story, centered on her character trying to protect her brother, resonated with the maternal instinct she felt at the time.
During the chat, Alia shared how she felt when she was offered Jigra, saying that she was in full “tigress” mode during the filming of the movie. She said, “When I signed Jigra I think I was in my tigress mode. I was in my most protective- like, ‘No one come near her,’ mode. That was the energy. That is why I always say destiny, luck, life has so much to play in things going a certain way. Forget the fate of Jigra, the fact that it came to me also was… wow what is this timing! That I am feeling this way and it came. It had all of those things laced over it.”
Alia reflected on how motherhood has changed her as both an actor and a person and said that life feels more meaningful now. She added, “I don’t think I am the same person. Life has so much more meaning and I think like actors can get really self-obsessed if they are constantly thinking about themselves… Now when there is another being in your life suddenly it is like Alia who? It is Raha, Raha, Raha! Alia comes in and out! The focus is on her and nurturing and my mind always being there is something that will never change now.”
Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor welcomed their baby daughter, Raha, in November 2022. Meanwhile, Alia walked the ramp at the Paris Fashion Week on September 24. She is one of the newest brand ambassadors for the beauty company, L’Oréal.
