Mahesh Bhatt: I’m suffering from Alia withdrawals

Alia Bhatt and sister Shaheen recently moved into their new house. Alia had earlier said that her father Mahesh Bhatt was not very happy about this decision and it seems like not having his ‘little girl’ around in his house anymore has started to get to him.

A few days ago Alia had shared a picture on Instagram in which daddy Mahesh was clicked taking a selfie with a picture of Alia on a signboard in the backdrop. She captioned the picture as ‘When my daddy paused to take a selfie with me taking a selfie! What else could I possibly want?’.



Talking about the picture, the filmmaker told a leading tabloid, “I noticed the hoarding with Alia on it when I landed at the Delhi airport on a freezing winter morning and thought to myself ‘Ah, that’s my little girl.’ And when I started to take the selfie, my friend Imran said he’ll take a better shot. That’s how it happened.” He then immediately shared the picture with Alia, who then shared it online.

Admitting that he misses her a lot, Bhatt added, “I call that house Fairyland... When I messaged her, I wrote that maybe it’s the separation pangs that daddy is feeling, because I wake up in the morning and don’t find her in the house anymore. So I said, ‘Maybe I’m suffering from Alia withdrawals and this is my way to cope with it.’ She responded: ‘That’s so sweet Dad. This is the biggest gift.’ I guess it’s the warmth we shared that warmed people’s hearts... In this era of social media, whatever catches your heart, catches the heart of the people too'"

Aww…aren't the father-daughter duo just adorable?
