On Alia Bhatt’s Birthday, Mom Soni Razdan Shares The Story Behind Her Name ‘Alia’

Alia

A mother’s love is incomparable to anything else in the world. The bond between a mother and her child is formed even before the child takes birth. It’s the kind of relationship that cannot be defined in enough words. The mother is fiercely protective of her children and will fight the world if she has to, just to keep them safe.

So even though your birthday is the most special day of your life, it means even more to your mother.

It’s Alia Bhatt’s 25th birthday today and we can’t be happier about it because let’s face it, she really is the cutest actress in Bollywood currently. And not to forget that she has also proven her mettle time and again with movies like ‘Dear Zindagi’ and ‘Highway’.

While many friends and fans are sure to post lovely messages to her, Alia’s mum Soni Razdan has already taken the cake for me. She posted a heartfelt messaged for her daughter on Instagram and it is the sweetest thing you read today.

On this day 25 years ago you were born Alia. Your name had already been chosen in my head. Alia Knightly was a lovely British Indian model and when I read that name I had decided if I had a girl we would call her Alia. Luckily your father agreed. I had no idea what the name meant then. It was many years later that I found out it means ‘exalted’. And that you most certainly are. A month before you were born I had a dream. I saw your face clearly in that dream. Since then in these 25 years you have scaled great heights in your young life… true to your name. On this day, your birthday, I wish you all the best as always… but I also wish that you keep your core self intact. Your special simple sweet self intact through all the craziness and the heady ups and the not so heady downs of life … don’t lose sight of who you really are inside. Because it’s that self that will be your guide and your most precious companion. Wish we were with you today… Happy Birthday sweetheart. Have a glass for me. Love always … Mama ❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘🎂🎂🎂🎁🎁🎁🥂🥂🥂💋💋💋🙅🏻‍♀️🙅🏻‍♀️🙅🏻‍♀️

Isn’t it adorable? Even Shaheen Bhatt, her sister dearest, posted a lovely message, and it’s every sister story ever.

25 years ago today, I was just moseying along, minding my own business, when my life changed forever.
Alia, Aloo, Bob – My friend, my companion, my personal defence lawyer, my most tireless cheerleader, my paranoid caretaker, witness to all my highs and lows, partner in random midnight hysterics and co-cat parent – I’m so lucky to have you as my sister and I’m so proud of the kind and nurturing soul you have grown to be.
Thank you for being you.Happy Birthday my beautiful girl.P.S. I love you so much it hurts.

 

I’m going to go call my mum and sister now. *sniffles*

Happy Birthday, Alia! ❤
