Alia Bhatt proudly calls Karan Johar her 'mentor, father figure and best friend'. Even for Karan, Alia's one of his 'family'. The bond the two share is quite special and their fans love it.
As Alia turns producer with the upcoming film 'Darlings', many stars sent her wishes. But, of course, the special one had to be from her 'mentor' Karan Johar! On Wednesday, Karan took to his Instagram to shower praises on Alia as he reviewed her upcoming film.
Sharing a montage of two posters of 'Darlings' Karan wrote, "A debut director so assured that she sucks you into the vortex of #Darlings like a bonafide veteran! To balance humour (dark and conversational ) with a sensitive subject is a massive challenge in itself but the team of this nuanced noir and the exceptionally solid film takes it on and emerges victorious! So fun! So hard-hitting and so engaging! All at once!"
