During an interview with Filmfare, the actress opened up about her family's WhatsApp group, The Bhatt Camp. The Highway actress revealed how everyone in the family shares quotes in it regularly. When asked about her dark side, she candidly said that "everybody has it". But it was the quote that followed next that made us her fan all over again. "If there's no darkness, how you gonna appreciate the light," Alia said.
The host was stunned by her reply and questioned if it was from her father, Mahesh Bhatt. However, Alia Bhatt denied and shared in her usual innocent and endearing style that it was her contribution to the "Bhatt Camp" group. She also went on to share how she searched for the quote on Google to later share it with her family.
