Karan Johar and Alia Bhatt share an extremely close bond and recently in an interview with Times of India, the filmmaker revealed how he reacted when he learnt about the actor's pregnancy. Karan said it was a 'very emotional moment' for him and that he was in tears when he heard the news.
'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 said.
Karan further added that he can't wait to hold her baby in his arms. 'It will be a very emotional moment, as close to when I held my own children,' he said.
Karan, who launched Alia Bhatt in Bollywood with 'Student of the Year,' said that he has seen her transform into an outstanding artiste and a wonderful self-assured woman.
'I feel so much pride. She was my first burst of being a parent. My first burst of parenting was when 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,' he told Times of India.
On the work front, Karan Johar is about to make his directorial comeback with ‘Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani,’ which stars Alia Bhatt along with Ranveer Singh.
Alia's other projects include, 'Jee Le Zaraa' and 'Darlings,' her maiden production venture.
