Veteran actress Neetu Kapoor celebrated her daughter-in-law Alia Bhatt’s 32nd birthday with a heartfelt post on social media, sharing a special moment from their bond. The actress took to her Instagram stories, posting a photograph of herself and Alia smiling warmly while posing together.
Describing the image as “precious,” Neetu shared that it was the first picture taken of them together. “Happy birthday my gorgeous friend. This pic is precious as it’s our first. Stay happy and blessed. Love, love, and more love,” Neetu captioned the post.
Alia, who married Ranbir Kapoor—son of Neetu and the late Rishi Kapoor—in April 2022, had initially planned a Holi and birthday getaway to Alibaug. However, she shortened her trip after learning about the passing of filmmaker Deb Mukherjee, the father of her close friend and director Ayan Mukerji.
Deb Mukherjee, a veteran of Indian cinema, passed away at the age of 83 on March 13. Following the news, Alia, along with her sister Shaheen Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor, visited Ayan Mukerji’s residence to offer condolences.
On March 12, Alia celebrated her birthday amidst the media and also shared insights about her upcoming film, ‘Love and War’, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The film stars Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor, and Vicky Kaushal.
Discussing the progress of the film, Alia revealed that the cast is currently filming during night schedules to maintain a distraction-free environment for Bhansali’s signature elaborate storytelling.
