'So Worth It!': Karan Johar's Emotional Shoutout To Alia Bhatt Post-Paris Fashion Week

Karan Johar and Alia Bhatt’s heartwarming bond is something almost everyone familiar with Bollywood is aware of. Days after proudly expressing his paternal feelings for the actress, Karan is back at it again. Hours ago, the filmmaker posted a picture on Instagram stories. Featuring Alia from her recent appearance at Paris Fashion Week, the story included the filmmaker’s heartfelt admiration for her while also shouting out to her for her professional endeavour. Along with the picture, he wrote, “So worth it!” followed by a bunch of hearts.

On his Instagram stories, Karan Johar reshared the post dropped by Alia Bhatt earlier today. Comprising a string of pictures from her memorable time at the fashion extravaganza, the post was captioned, “A night to uplift, embrace & inspire; because we’re all Worth It.” Reacting to the stunning set of images, Ananya Panday wrote, “You are (sic).” Whereas Alia’s mother Soni Razdan added, “You look amazing. And yes, you’re all definitely worth it.”

Karan Johar’s post for Alia Bhatt comes days after the director opened up about the first time when he felt like a father to the actress. Recalling the day when he roped in Alia to play the lead in Student Of The Year, Karan said, “Now, I am Yash and Roohi’s father, but the first time I experienced paternal love for someone was with Alia. We were in a vanity van, and we were doing a look test for Alia. She wasn’t sure if she would be in the film or even what the title was.”

“After the photo session when I went inside the van, Alia’s mother Soni Razdan was also there. We had given her a big cupcake. I told her she was in the film and I was directing it. Alia became very emotional and her first sentence was, ‘Can I eat this (the cupcake)?’ At that moment my maternal feelings came to the forefront,” added Karan Johar.

Meanwhile, Alia Bhatt is set to be seen in Jigra, slated to release on October 11. The film, jointly produced by Karan Johar and Alia, also featured Vedang Raina in the lead role. Apart from the same, Alia also has Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War with Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal in her kitty. She will also be sharing the screen space with Sharvari Wagh in the YRF Spy Universe’s, Alpha.
