Friday, 18 May 2018 11:45

Karan Johar, who was one of the producers of Alia Bhatt, Vicky Kaushal-starrer ‘Raazi’, is currently basking on the film’s success.

In just a week’s span, the film has swayed the audience and critics’ hearts with extraordinary performances as well as the plot.

The filmmaker-producer is quite close to the film’s lead Alia Bhatt, and was even before she made her debut in KJo’s ‘Student Of The Year’.

At a success party of the film, which was also attended by Alia’s mother, Soni Razdan, the director spoke a lot about his bond with Alia. He said in a statement, “Soni walked into my office along with Alia and right from the first day, I could feel some cosmic connections, especially with Alia.”

KJo was quite vocal about how he is quite emotional for the ‘Highway’ actor. He further said, "I am proud being her emotional father. Although I am not her biological father, today I feel like I am Mahesh Bhatt, and that we (Karan and Soni) are her parents. After turning a parent to two little kids, today I understand how emotional one feels about their children’s achievements in life."

Moreover, if one overviews Alia Bhatt’s career graph in Bollywood, the young actor has come a long way. Speaking about her growth in the industry, Karan Johar opined, “I feel proud of Alia, who has performed in about eight films for Dharma Productions. All the films have proved a hit at the box office. So what if one film proved to bring in a bad result on our report card? However, I am happy that all of her other seven films have proven to be shaandar at the box office."
