Actor Alia Bhatt was supposed to travel to Abu Dhabi to attend the International Indian Film Academy Awards. However, she had to skip the event reportedly due to a family emergency.
According to ETimes report, Alia's maternal grandfather, Narendra Razdan, is currently admitted to Breach Candy Hospital in Mumbai and is in critical condition. A source close to the Bhatt family informed ETimes that the actor’s grandfather reportedly has a lung infection which has become worse.
The source said, ‘In the morning the family got a distress call that the doctors wanted to shift him to the ICU. There was a decision taken not to take him to the ICU, but to make him comfortable within the room. He's 95 and as of now he's in the sunset hours.’
On the professional front, Alia Bhatt will next be seen in Karan Johar’s ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’, co-starring Ranveer Singh. The first look posters of the film were released on the filmmaker’s 51st birthday.
Alia Bhatt also has Farhan Akhtar’s ‘Jee Le Zaraa’, alongside Priyanka Chopra and Katrina Kaif and her Hollywood debut ‘Heart of Stone’ in the pipeline.
