In a deeply moving and personal revelation, Bollywood superstar Alia Bhatt recently shared an emotional video that has left fans and netizens across the country teary-eyed. The actress, known for her expressive love for husband Ranbir Kapoor, took a heartfelt journey back in time by writing and reading a letter addressed to her younger self.
A Letter Filled with Love and Wisdom
The video, created exclusively for Esquire India, showcases Alia Bhatt engaging in a poignant conversation with the little girl she once was. Through this intimate exercise, the actress expresses profound gratitude for her current life while offering precious advice that resonates with universal themes of family, love, and self-discovery.
Family Bonds and Cherished Relationships
Alia's letter beautifully acknowledges the important people in her life, creating a tapestry of relationships that have shaped her journey. She begins by addressing her younger self with encouraging words, emphasizing the power of dreams. "Dear little me, I know you're always dreaming. Please don't stop doing that. The dreamer in you is your superpower," she recites with visible emotion.
The actress then turns her attention to family members, starting with her mother Soni Razdan. "Please praise mama's cooking some more. Say it out loud. One day you'll be a mother yourself and you'll realise how much love went into everything she made and did for you, even on days you didn't notice," Alia advises, highlighting the often-unrecognized sacrifices of motherhood.
Her sister Shaheen Bhatt receives special mention too, with Alia urging her younger self to nurture that relationship. "Be nice to your sister, one day she's going to be your best friend. Don't take her for granted. Give her more time and more love," she says, reflecting on the evolution of sibling bonds.
Father-Daughter Memories and Career Moments
Alia also addresses her relationship with filmmaker father Mahesh Bhatt, revealing a touching professional and personal connection. "Spend time with Papa. One day he will offer you a film, not because of the result of the film but because you want to spend more time with him and those memories are going to be the best memories of your life," she shares. This reference points to their collaboration in 'Sadak 2,' which starred Aditya Roy Kapur, Pooja Bhatt, and Sanjay Dutt.
Ranbir Kapoor: The 'Best Boy in the World'
The most talked-about segment of Alia's letter involves her heartfelt tribute to husband Ranbir Kapoor. Moving beyond her usual expressions of affection, she describes him in terms that have particularly resonated with fans. "Dear little me, please don't cry over that stupid boy in high school, it's not worth it. I promise you that one day, you'll meet the best boy in the world. The one you've always secretly had a crush on," she reveals.
Alia continues with emotional depth, painting a picture of their relationship that goes beyond typical celebrity romance narratives. "He is going to love you with respect, comfort, peace and laughter. He'll be your safest place, your best friend and he'll know everything about you. You know you wanted someone to always read your mind? He'll do that for you," she assures her younger self, offering a glimpse into their private bond.
Motherhood and Daughter Raha
