Riddhima Kapoor Sahani added, “Happy bday uncle.”
In an interview with us at News18 Showsha, the actress recalled how she stopped getting work after marrying Mahesh Bhatt. “I’ve grown up in this industry – in the sense that I’ve been here for so many years. There has been a huge change over the years. I find it to be an almost different world altogether. When I had started out, I was doing really well. And then suddenly I got married. I wasn’t getting any work after that,” she shared.
Despite being a part of some acclaimed films, Soni Razdan believes that her identity continues to be restricted to being Alia Bhatt’s mother and Mahesh’s wife. “All my life, even now, I’m somebody else’s somebody. Let me be very loud and clear… My struggle is still to be known for who I am. I’m happy for the people around me, who’re doing so well in their lives. How could I not be? I’m grateful. But perhaps that’s how my journey was meant to be. Now I laugh at it. It’s funny, but I just go on, thinking that it’s okay,” Soni stated.
Mahesh Bhatt and Soni Razdan married in 1986 and have two daughters, Shaheen Bhatt and Alia Bhatt, the latter being one of the leading actresses in contemporary Bollywood. Their personal and professional lives often catch the public eye.
