During this interaction with Karan and Jr NTR, Alia spoke about how happy she was that a film like ‘Jigra’ came to her at such a point in life. She said, “When I signed Jigra I think I was in my tigress mode. I was in my most protective- like, ‘No one come near her,’ mode. That was the energy. That is why I always say destiny, luck, life has so much to play in things going a certain way. Forget the fate of Jigra, the fact that it came to me also was… wow what is this timing! That I am feeling this way and it came. It had all of those things laced over it.”
The actress added that she’s a completely changed person post the birth of her daughter. Her life is all about Raha now, said Alia, further stating, “I don’t think I am the same person. Life has so much more meaning and I think like actors can get really self-obsessed if they are constantly thinking about themselves… Now when there is another being in your life suddenly it is like Alia who? It is Raha, Raha, Raha! Alia comes in and out! The focus is on her and nurturing and my mind always being there is something that will never change now.”
The actress recently won the internet as she walked the ramp for the first time for an international cosmetic brand which she has just been signed on for. Alia was accompanied by husband Ranbir Kapoor, mom-in-law Neetu Kapoor and daughter Raha to Paris for this event.
