One of the most talked about couples of the B-town the newly wedded Alia-Ranbir broke the internet when they revealed that they are expecting a baby. Congratulatory wishes started to pour in from the entire film industry.
But the one man who is surely the most elated of them all is Karan Johar, the man who gave Alia her first break in the Bollywood revealed that he cried when Alia told him about her pregnancy.
while speaking with Times of India, he expressed his joy and said that he cannot wait to hold Alia’s baby in his arms, he said –
“I cried. She came to my office. I remember I was having a bad hair day and I was sitting in a hoodie with cap. And she told me this. And my first emotion was that tears just came out and she came and gave me a hug. I was like I can’t believe you are having a baby. It was like your baby is having a baby. It was a very emotional moment for me, it still is!”
He further talked about Alia’s growth as an artist,
“I’ve seen her from a girl transforming into an outstanding artiste, into this wonderful self-assured woman. And I feel so much pride. Because really, she was my first burst of being a parent. My first burst of parenting was actually with her and she walked into my office when she was 17. She’s 29 today and these last 12 years have been magical for both of us because I share such a strong bond with her. I can’t wait to hold her baby in my arms. It will be a very emotional moment, as close to when I held my own children.”
The Alia-Karan duo gave a blockbuster movie in Student of the year and they are set to collab again for the upcoming movie Rocky aur Rani ki prem kahani. the film would also feature Shabana Azmi, Dharmendra, Ranveer Singh and Jaya Bachchan.
Well congratulations to Alia and Ranbir, and also to – Karan Johar.
