Alia Bhatt has embarked on a new journey as a storyteller by launching her first children’s picture book. She revealed that she is working on an entire series of books. On Sunday, under her kids’ wear brand Ed-a-Mamma, Alia introduced the first book in the series, titled Ed Finds A Home. Alia shared her excitement on Instagram about her new role and posted a photo of herself holding the book with a big smile.
She wrote, “A new adventure begins (sun emoji) Ed finds a Home is just the beginning of a new series of books from the universe of Ed-a-mamma. My childhood was full of storytelling and storytellers .. and one day I had a dream to bring out that child in me and put it into books for children.. I am so grateful to my fellow storytellers, Vivek Kamath, @shabnamminwalla and @tanvibhat.draws, who with their wonderful ideas, inputs and imagination helped bring our first book to life. Fingers crossed for this journey ahead.”
Earlier today, Alia fondly remembered her grandfather, her ‘favorite storyteller’, on his birth anniversary. She honored her ‘nana’ by sharing unseen childhood photos. “My favorite storyteller … Happy birthday Grandpa, you and your stories live on in our hearts forever,” she wrote.
She launched the book at the Storyverse – Children’s Lit Fest in Mumbai on Sunday. Alia was accompanied by her mother Soni Razdan and sister Shaheen Bhatt at the event. Alia looked radiant in a sleeveless floral-printed maxi dress. During the event, she participated in a reading session where excerpts from the book were read by Soni Razdan, Shaheen Bhatt and Alia herself. After the reading, Alia interacted with young fans and gathered their feedback. A viral video from the event shows Alia introducing the book’s main characters to the audience.
Alia Bhatt will be next seen in Vasan Bala’s Jigra.
