Alia Bhatt Fondly Remembers Childhood Birthday with Soni Razdan

Alia Bhatt took to Instagram to share heartfelt birthday wishes for her mother, the renowned actor Soni Razdan. She posted two pictures that encapsulated a cherished childhood memory. In the first picture, a young Alia can be seen sitting on her mother’s lap during one of her own birthday parties. The second image captures the duo side by side in a more recent moment.

In the Instagram post, Alia Bhatt reminisced, “On your birthday, I look back at one of my birthdays… I spent the whole party sitting on your lap because I was too scared of the inflated Godzilla, which I drove you up the wall to get me… But nonetheless, I look perfectly content and happy, and clearly there’s no place I’d rather be… Happy birthday mothership… we’d be nothing without you… grateful for you every single minute every single day… love you @sonirazdan.”

Soni Razdan responded affectionately to Alia Bhatt, “Thank you, my sweetheart, light of my life and center of my soul… my lap is yours always, and so is my love.”

The post received warm wishes from fellow celebrities and fans. Tara Sharma commented, “Aw adorable. Happy Birthday @sonirazdan.” Saba Ali Khan also extended her birthday greetings, and Zoya Akhtar and Dia Mirza added their best wishes to the comment section. One fan expressed their sentiment, “The first photo is very beautiful, and the second photo is very happy, thank you.”

In addition to Alia’s tribute, her sister Shaheen Bhatt, Soni’s elder daughter, shared her own birthday wishes. She uploaded throwback vacation pictures of Soni and wrote, “Centre of my universe – then, now, always. Happy Birthday ma.” Soni was quick to reply with gratitude, “Thank you, my darling child, you are the core of my soul, and all the rest of it, you make my world turn and my heart so, so happy.”
