In a conversation with Barkha Dutt's show, Mojo Story, Mahesh revealed how he and Alia's boyfriend, Ranbir Kapoor made a bond. Sharing that they had formed a bond over Alia being a mystery, Mahesh said:
"Me and Ranbir often say that she is a bit of an enigma. She's an ET (extra terrestrial) that's come to us and will remain a mystery. Let this rare bird be. Don't put her in a cage or try to define her. She is as mysterious as life. One day she was born to us and she remains an enigma to us."
Listening to her dad's words, Alia Bhatt was surprised. The actress mentioned that her boyfriend, Ranbir, often calls her a strange person. She also shared that Ranbir calls her an alien as well and added:
"It's strange. Ranbir says that to me all the time. And this is the first time I've heard my father say it to me. He says this to me. You're a strange person, strange being. He says that a lot. You're an alien. What are you? You're an alien."

“My father told us you all can’t go anywhere, I will lock you up in a room. He is honest and blunt about the fact that he doesn't want us to get married. He is not saying just like that, he means it. He is very possessive and he doesn't want me to get married."
