When Rishi Kapoor said he 'admired' his future daughter-in-law Alia Bhatt; called her both 'lucky and talented'

Rishi Kapoor was undoubtedly one of the most loved and talented actors we had in Bollywood. His fans and family are celebrating his 71st birth anniversary today, on September 4.
On this special occasion, we got our hands on a throwback interview of the Bollywood legend where he showered praise on his future daughter-in-law Alia Bhatt. Rishi said that he admired someone like Alia Bhatt, who takes up challenging roles like in 'Highway' (2014) and 'Raazi'.According to him, it is very difficult at this tender age to carry a film on their shoulders and only an actor can do that. He also added that one has to be lucky enough to get such parts. Alia has been lucky and of course, she has the talent too.

Rishi and Alia worked together in 'Kapoor and Sons'. The film also starred Sidharth Malhotra, Fawad Khan, Rajat Kapoor and others in lead roles. The legendary actor breathed his last in April 2020 after a long battle with cancer.
After his sudden demise, Alia took to her Instagram handle to share a heartfelt post for Rishi. In the note, the 'Darlings' actress thanked the universe for giving her the opportunity of getting to know him.
Check out the post here:

She wrote, 'What can I say. About this beautiful man... who brought soo much love and goodness into my life. Today, everyone speaks of the legend that is Rishi Kapoor... and though I’ve known him like that all my life... for the past two years I’ve known him as a friend, a fellow Chinese food lover, a total cinema lover, a fighter, a leader, a beautiful storyteller, an extremely passionate tweeter and a father! In these past two years the love I have received from him is like a warm hug that I will always cherish!'

Meanwhile, on the work front, Alia was last seen in 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani' co-starring Ranveer Singh in the lead role. The film received positive reviews from the audience and the critics alike.
Next, she will be seen in Farhan Akhtar's 'Jee Le Zaraa' along with Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra. She has also been roped in for a spy thriller as a part of YRF's Spy Universe.
