Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt recently shared a touching story about her RRR co-star Ram Charan. In an interview with Suresh Productions, Alia revealed that Ram Charan made a heartwarming gesture for her daughter, Raha, shortly after her birth. Though Alia and Ram Charan couldn’t spend much time together on the film set, their bond strengthened during the movie’s promotion, and this act has deepened their friendship further.
A Surprising Gift Arrives
Alia recalled that about a month after Raha was born, she was informed that Ram Charan had sent her an elephant. Surprised and amused, Alia initially thought there might be a real elephant wandering around her building! However, it turned out that the actor had arranged for something special in Raha’s honor. Instead of sending a live elephant, he gifted a wooden sculpture, symbolizing an elephant he adopted in a forest on Raha’s behalf.
This wooden elephant now holds a place of pride in Alia’s home. Fondly named “Elli,” it has become a fixture in their dining area. Raha, who’s already taken a liking to it, often plays on the sculpture. Alia expressed deep gratitude for Ram Charan’s thoughtful gift, which has quickly become a meaningful part of her family’s home.
A Bond Built During RRR
Alia Bhatt and Ram Charan’s on-screen chemistry in SS Rajamouli’s RRR led to a strong off-screen bond. Though they worked with limited interaction due to differing shoot schedules, they grew close during promotional events. Alongside their co-star Jr. NTR, the trio formed lasting friendships, making the project memorable for all involved.
During the interview, Alia highlighted how Ram Charan’s gesture went beyond the usual. Adopting an elephant in Raha’s name shows his kindness and thoughtfulness, qualities that Alia truly admires. Their shared experiences during RRR set the stage for a friendship that has extended into their personal lives, bringing joy to both stars and their families.
Alia’s Current Projects and Family Life
Meanwhile, Alia is enjoying a busy period in her career. Her latest film, Jigra, directed by Vasan Bala and co-produced with Karan Johar, is creating a buzz. This movie pairs her with Vedang Raina, showcasing her versatility as an actress. While the movie has received mixed reviews, Alia’s performance has been widely appreciated.
In addition to Jigra, Alia is preparing for her upcoming role in Yash Raj Films’ spy-thriller, Alpha. This action-packed movie will see her sharing the screen with Sharvari Wagh and Bobby Deol. Fans are excited to see her in this new avatar as she takes on a central role in YRF’s spy-verse, a genre she has yet to explore.
With her thriving career and loving family, Alia Bhatt is enjoying a full and rewarding life. Thanks to Ram Charan’s gesture, Raha has a special gift that symbolizes the warmth and camaraderie her mother shares with her friends in the film industry.
