Side by side or miles apart, sisters will always be connected by heart! Well, the love shared between sisters can never be expressed in words. After all, they are our first best friends and worst enemies. An exactly similar relationship is shared between the Bhatt sisters – Alia Bhatt and Pooja Bhatt.

While Pooja is Alia’s half-sister, the bond they share is a perfect inspiration! Pooja has always been a pillar of strength in Raazi star’s life. In a throwback interview, Alia had talked about her relationship with step-sister, and had shared, “As a family we’ve grown really close. People always tell me ‘Oh you have a step sister, a step mother’ and all that, but it has never affected me. Our family is very real and we’re very honest with each other. There’s no facade and no fakeness. So, when we spend time together, we genuinely spend time together.”
Recently, in an interview with the Hindustan Times, Pooja opened up about Alia’s acting prowess, and said, “Alia is such a fabulous actor. Look at Gully Boy, Udta Punjab (2016), Raazi (2018)… she has given such heartfelt performances in all these. She is getting better every day. She chooses with her heart and I think that’s what is working for her. Though in hindsight no one knows which film will work or which one won’t. You can’t plan that way, but yes you can definitely choose the right kind of stories.” (Also Read: Shilpa Shetty Kundra's Sisters-In-Law Leave Her Teary Eyed When They Reveal How Proud They're Of Her)
It’s not just films that are making headlines in Alia’s life, it is also her rumoured relationship with beau, Ranbir Kapoor that has become the talk of the tinsel town. However, Pooja refrained from commenting on it, and stated, “Anything Alia does as far as her relationship is concerned it’s her own prerogative. We are no one to decide for her. We are there for her always to make sure she is happy and safe. In no way do we force ourselves in each other’s lives.”
In a 2018 interview with The Indian Express, when Pooja was asked about the budding romance in Alia’s life, the former actress had retorted, “You got to ask Alia! You can ask me about my personal life. You cannot ask me about my sister’s personal life because I ain’t telling, darling! Like I took rumours about me. What was true didn’t bother me. What was not true didn’t bother me. And she is a Bhatt after all, and a much-improved Bhatt in that sense.”

She had further added, “I think that this is her time in the sun. We should just let that young girl be and enjoy her life because I think she is doing her job of entertaining India and the world really well. So, what she does or does not do in her personal life is really her problem. How she chooses to lead her life is her problem. My father and me have a different approach to it. She has a different approach to it. So, I think we should just let people be who they are.” (Don't Miss: Vikrant Massey's Muse, Sheetal Thakur Posts A Heartfelt Birthday Wish For The 'Light Of Her Life')
