Alaya F calls mom Pooja ‘least filmy’

In her candid conversation with Zoom, Alaya shared, “Growing up, we didn’t really talk about films. The industry wasn’t a part of my life at all. My mother had stopped acting by the time I was born, and she’s the least filmy person you’ll ever meet. She has no clue what’s happening in the industry most of the time. I’m usually the one explaining things to her, like, ‘Mom, you have to know this!’”Take a look at the full interview!
